  1. GRID infrastructure for astrophysical applications in Lithuania Gražina Tautvaišienė and Šarūnas Mikolaitis Institute of Theoterical Physics and Astronomy of Vilnius University taut@itpa.lt EGEE’09, Barcelona

  2. BalticGrid-II in one slide • Continues the BalticGrid project (2005-2008, well evaluated by EU) • Partners: 10 Leading institutions in six countries in the Baltic Region and CERN • Budget: 3.0 M€ over 24 months • Coordinator: KTH PDC, Stockholm • Start: 1st of May, 2008 • Collaborating project for EGEE • Supporting NGIs and their collaboration EGEE’09, Barcelona

  3. BalticGrid and EGI • Establish the BalticGrid-II Grid infrastructure as a part of a European Grid ecosystem, with support from the EGEE and EGI EGEE’09, Barcelona

  4. BalticGrid Infrastructure in Numbers • 29 sites (more than 15 certified) • ~ 7000 CPU cores • ~110000 GB storage • 4 local active Virtual Organisations (balticgrid, litgrid, gamess, biit) • 2 EGEE VOs (cms, lhcb) • Sites are running gLite EGEE’09, Barcelona

  5. Network Status • All sites are connected using NRENs and GÉANT2 backbone • Baltic states link to Scandinavia and Poland through 10 Gbs connections • 1Gbps links are established to all sites www.geant2.net EGEE’09, Barcelona

  6. Ltihuanian NGI EGEE’09, Barcelona

  7. National GRID Initiative • LitGrid infrastructure is deeply related to the grid infrastructures of Baltic States (BalticGrid project) and of EGEE (European Grid for Enabling the E-science) - on the level of middleware and some applications • The project BalticGrid-II will involve scientists of Lithuania even more deeply into European Research Area • to encourage Lithuanian scientists to use grid technologies and to participate in their development • Investment program financed by the Ministry of Science and Education of LR EGEE’09, Barcelona

  8. Partners • LitGrid unites 13 academic partners –universities, research institutes, colleges: • partners have provided for common infrastructure more than 400 CPUs • more than 6 TB of storage • Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, ITPA • largest Lithuanian research institute in astronomy and fundamental physics. A host of the first computer. EGEE’09, Barcelona

  9. LitGrid clusters and network 1Gbps 1Gbps 1Gbps 1Gbps 10Gbps EGEE’09, Barcelona

  10. Research projects on LitGrid and Baltic Grid • Collaboration with CMS (CERN) • Astrophysics • Baltic Sea modeling • Lithuanian Academic Text Corpora, • Nanoparticle design • ITER – International Thermo Nuclear Reactor • Collaboration (EURATOM) • Nanotechnologies • Mechatronics EGEE’09, Barcelona

  11. SIG: Stellar Spectra Computing The synthetic spectra modeling EGEE’09, Barcelona

  12. Within the framework of the BalticGrid project the Stellar Spectroscopy group of the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy of Vilnius university has upgraded and gridified a program package for the synthetic spectra modeling and is using it for: • Chemical analysis of Galactic Red clump stars • Chemical analysis of open clusters in the Galactic disk • Investigation of chemical evolution of the Galactic thick disk • Chemical analysis of stars in neighboring galaxies • Analysis of chromospherically active stars EGEE’09, Barcelona

  13. SYNTSPEC: Migrating Desctop interface EGEE’09, Barcelona

  14. SYNTSPEC: GRIDCOM INTERFACE EGEE’09, Barcelona

  15. SYNTSPEC • System independed (Linux, Unix, BSD, MAC, Windows ) • Friendly for Virtual Observatory EGEE’09, Barcelona

  16. SIG: Stellar Spectra Computing The GAIA space observatory will produce a huge amount of data, so we need to be prepared to analyze them. EGEE’09, Barcelona
