Overview

• South East Europe Federation in EGEE• Organization of operations• Resources in SEE Federation• Applications• Challenges



INFSO-RI-508833

EGEE Partner Federations

All work in EGEE will be carried out by the 70 partners grouped in 12 federations.

Structure of EGEE operations

• Operations Management Centre (OMC):

– At CERN – coordination etc

• Core Infrastructure Centres (CIC)– Manage daily grid operations –

oversight, troubleshooting– Run essential infrastructure services– Provide 2nd level support to ROCs

• Regional Operations Centres (ROC)– Act as front-line support for user and

operations issues– Provide local knowledge and

adaptations– One in each region

• User Support Centre (GGUS)



INFSO-RI-508833

Participants from SEE federation

Operations monitoring maps

• In EGEE/LCG:

• > 150 sites, 34 countries

• > 15,000 cpu

• ~5 PB storage

SEE ROC activities

• Introduce new RCs • Pro-active monitoring of grid services at RC• React and solve problems, reported by users or CIC• Validate new middleware releases• Provide feedback to middleware developers through

the pre-production service• Interfaces: Savannah at CERN, GGUS at FZK• Negotiate and deploy new VOs at RC level



INFSO-RI-508833

SEE Regional Operations Centre – distributed organizational structure

• Central ROC in Greece• Security Contact in Bulgaria • Helpdesk developed by Romania• Core services run at Cyprus, backup core services in

Greece and Bulgaria (BDII, RB)• Local customised monitoring from Greece• Regional SEE VO deployed• SEE VO services available - VOMS, myproxy, LFC, etc.• Localized web sites at each country• Stable SEE-GRID sites are also incorporated

VOs supported at the first BG EGEE site – BG01-IPP

• BG01-IPP was the first SEE site to support:– biomed VO – since Nov 2004– ESR – since Jan 2005– magic – since Mar 2005.

• High Energy Physics support - Alice, Atlas, LHCb, CMS software deployed at the site.– LHCb production jobs since October 2004.– CMS and Atlas jobs running at this moment:

BG application in ESR VO – air pollution prediction

• Under development by Tzvetan Ostromsky from IPP• Transition from HPC to Grid computing. Use of MPI



INFSO-RI-508833

Challenges before SEE ROC

• Security Service Challenges Level 1 – passed by me as BG01-IPP security contact in 2 hours.

• I participate in Operational Security Coordination Group.

• Biomedical Data Challenge – passed succesfully in July and August. 15 Institutes donated resources for the challenge, among them Institute for Parallel Processing and Institute of Mechanics (http://public.eu-egee.org/news/fullstory.php?news_id=53)

• Increase number of users and available resources

SEE-GRID current snapshot

• LCG-2 clusters installed in all sites. – 9 SEE-GRID sites – ( with >80 CPUs) in

participating countries in the first project year;

• Regional SEEGRID VO is supported with 3 Grid apps:– Volumetric Image Visualization

Environment (VIVE);– Search Engine for South Eastern Europe

(SE4SEE); – Stochastic ALgorithms for Ultra-fast

Transport in sEmiconductors (SALUTE). • EGEE VOs supported -

– HEP, biomed.• Significant human capital & tech expertise

– emphasis on software development– extend the objective to build additional

Grid applications of regional interest
