Inside NA3


Inside NA3

• TNA3.1: Coordination of the Activity:

– Overall coordination of NA3

• TNA3.2: App. Ident., Selection and Gridification Supp.

– Will identify applications to be deployed on the EELA-2 Production Infrastructure and setup of a “gridification” team able to understand the applications’ requirements and lead the porting process

• TNA3.3: Applications under Deployment

– Responsible for planning the deployment strategy and assisting the applications’ owners during testing and actual deployment of the software

• TNA3.4: Applications in Production Stage

– In charge of assisting applications’ owners accessing output data and integrating results of different applications in the same domain


Application’s selection

• 49 selected applications

• Assessment based on:– Suitability for Grid deployment;– Easiness of gridification;– Grid added value;– Resources (CPU, storage) commitments of the Institutions

involved;– Usage of the infrastructure (number of jobs and frequency of runs);– Potential outreach / impact (in the scientific community, industry,

socially in the country, towards policy / decision makers);– Number of involved institutions from Europe and Latin America;


Applications to be Supported

• 47 applications at the project start

Funded Applications

• For each funded application:– If necessary, the project is committed to pay for 2 travels of 5

days each for 1 person to meet the development team in order to speed up the integration of the application…

– …plus 1 travel for 3 days (for 1 person), to attend one of the EELA-2 conferences to present the results of the application.
