•5 Grid gateways installed in DIAS, TCD, UCD, NUIG and UCC and remotely managed by Grid-Ireland. 6th coming at QUB (paid by UK eScience)

•Three medium-size computational clusters to be installed in UCD, NUIG and DIAS over next three years.

•SFI funded 4 year programme

•€4.6M linked individual Investigator awards to

• John Morrison UCC - WebCom-G development

• Brian Coghlan TCD - Grid integration

• Andy Shearer NUI, Galway - Applications & stress testing

WebCom-G

Page 13: Luke Drury, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, on behalf of the Irish Grid Community Irish eInfrastructure and Grid initiatives.

WebCom-G - making the Grid usable

•Non-von-Neumann middleware to hide the Grid

•Uses condensed graphs to provide an integrated solution from applications to hardware

•Provide users with a light interface to the grid for their applications

•Will be compatible with existing grid middleware tools- Globus, Condor and Cactus

•Has the potential to bridge middlewares

• 10x land area

• Most comprehensive study of a country’s marine heritage

• Large data set > 12TB (and growing

• Commercially sensitive

• fish stocks

• oil/gas reserves

• mineral deposits

•Implementations:

•Use IPv6 at network level

•Simplify the user interface(s)

•Policy:

•Ireland VERY lacking in compute part of eInfrastructure – need policy change

•Do we need a debate on Grid ethics?

Some personal views on Policy Issues

Page 18: Luke Drury, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, on behalf of the Irish Grid Community Irish eInfrastructure and Grid initiatives.

•Grid(s) are alive and well in Ireland

•Good coverage of major disciplines

•Good non-compute eInfrastructure

•VERY lacking in compute part of eInfrastructure

•First good example of heterogeneity

•Open to further international collaborations

Conclusions
