2. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid2 Applications/Scientific Program High Energy Physics and LHC Computing LHC CMS experiment LCG Tier 2 center (together with Finland) Solid State Physics Quantum Chemistry Molecular Genetics Mathematics Non-linear Sciences

3. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid3 CERN CMS software, Geant4, etc Software for nonlinear dynamics, etc DOUG software, ID- card, etc Current Resources of EG NICPBUTTUTEENet Technical support group in Tartu Centre for HEP & comp. sciences EG CA Technical support group in Tallinn Country- level GIIS Cluster Laboratory Grid Laboratory EAS Enterprises: commercial applications Lectures, seminars, user support

4. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid4 Current Resources of EG EG CA accredited by the EU Grid PMA (Policy Management Authority) 66 CPUs, currently all Intel 8 clusters At the end of year 2004 two more clusters will join (100 CPUs, 10 clusters) Plan to go to the 64-bit architecture (AMD) Needed: many more CPUs, memory and storage

5. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid5 EG Monitor

6. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid6 Network Infrastructure Link between Tallinn and Tartu is currently 1 Gbit/s (EENet) NICPB is using Uninet (FinNet) as the service provider 2x622 Mbit/s link in our facilities Infinite amount of dark fiber available Needed: resources to make dark fiber white

7. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid7 Local Support/Matching Cost EG writes application to the Ministry of Education and Research Funding agencies for hardware Participating institutions Estonian-CERN collaboration is financed by the state, this money can be used by NICPB

8. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid8 Staff Expertise EG is run by the Technical Support Team, each cluster has managers, we have some 15 Grid experts + users (physicists) In 2004 we had several tutorials and regular weekly Grid seminar in UT In 2005 we have 2 seminars in UT and TUT and a lecture series IT College Needed: resources for education/meetings/travel and salaries for people

9. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid9 Collaborations CERN, LHC CMS Collaboration members (mostly Nordic states), LCG EGEE NorduGrid (technical meeting in Tallinn in December) Nordic Grid Neighbourhood http://www.nicpb.ee/NordicGrid/ (meeting in parallel with NorduGrid technical meeting) http://www.nicpb.ee/NordicGrid/ EU Grid PMA meeting in Tallinn, May 26-27.

11. 7.10.2004, VilniusBaltic Grid11 Suggestions We should identify people to talk to We could help Latvia and Lithuania to form first seeds of their grids We should make an effort to avoid mistakes done by previous projects As NICPB is going to host 2 Nordic Grid meetings in December, the NEEGRID proposal to EC could be finalized at the same time in Tallinn
