3 The e-Infrastructure today - core initiatives, project examples -

4  Pan-European coverage (40+ countries /3900 universities / 30+ million students)  Hybrid architecture:  IP connectivity at 10 Gb/s  Dark fiber wavelengths for demanding communities  Total transmission capacity well beyond 1 TB/s GÉANT: connecting Europe

5  >340 sites  > CPUs, 25 Pbyte of storage  ~ jobs successfully completed per day  270 Virtual Organisations  >8000 registered users, representing 1000s of scientists Astrophysics and astroparticle physics Biomedical and bioinformatics Computational chemistry Computational sciences High Energy Physics Disaster recovery Digital Libraries Earth sciences Infrastructure Geophysics Finance Fusion EGEE: large multi-science grids

6  11 sites/7 countries connected at 10 Gb/s  1 PFlop aggregated peak performance  Larger parallel applications in individual sites  Workflow applications with grid technologies  Global data management service  Extreme Computing Initiative DEISA: virtual HPC services
