11. Main Achievements  A pilot infrastructure using gLite is already working (9 sites).  A gateway between gLite (EGEE) and GOS (CNGrid) has been studied and a first implementation is available.  IPv6 middleware compatibility study was started and first results are available (web site, code checker).  First batch of applications is running (LHC, WISDOM, Late/Early Stage) and others were tested and are about to be deployed (ARGO Data Mover, Rosetta).

13. Grid Middleware and IPv6  China is deploying the largest production IPv6 network in the world.  IPv6 is the natural choice for new generation IP telephony in convergence with Wireless Networking.  Grid services should be able to run on the future IPv6 enabled PDA’s, portable phones, etc.  A study is under way on Middleware and high level services compatibility with IPv6 -> operational tests of functionality.  CNGrid MW (GOS) is mostly based on Java and has now an IPv6 compliant version.

15. IPv6 compatibility of Grid middleware  A specific task was started in order to investigate if libraries, software and other third-party elements used in gLite and GOS are IPv6 compliant.  A compatibility list is available and constantly enlarged and updated.

16. Applications (WP4)  EGEE supported applications LHC Experiments (ATLAS and CMS). BIOMED  Astroparticle Physics: ARGO-YBJ experiment  Biology: Never Born Proteins.

17. ARGO – YBJ Laboratory Unique High Altitude Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m) Tibet, 90 km North to Lhasa. Chinese-Italian collaboration. The Experiment data rate to be transferred is 250 TB/Year requiring a steady transfer rate of the order of 100 Mbps to Beijing and from there to Italy.

18. ARGO-YBJ Data Mover  Reliable Data Transfer from Yangbajing  2 Data Repositories (CNAF & IHEP) synchronized via LFC and FTS + custom scripts.

19. The “never born proteins”  The number of natural proteins is just an infinitesimal fraction of the theoretically possible ones (Ex., a hydrogen atom vs. the total mass of the universe).  There exists an astronomical number of “never born proteins”. Their study can teach us lessons on the principles of protein folding. Have natural proteins special physico-chemical properties? Are there “never born proteins” potentially useful for biotechnological or biomedical purposes?

20. Rosetta Early/Late Stage Biological applications  Generate “never born protein” sequences database  Port protein structure prediction software on grid  Develop web tools for non grid trained users KWCWPFASHNDLKVQSQ WYVEPPDTIPPYNKYGTN FIKHCQYIAHMQGDTHFF NRVRMHQLWKIIVDCAY

22. Future work  Continue in the collaboration with other projects, e.g.: Joint conference with ECHOGRID (Beijing 24-25 April). Cooperation with EGEE and ETICS on IPv6 compliance and interoperability of middleware.  Extend the actual basic functionality of the gLite – GOS gateway.  Expand the pilot infrastructure: Peking University is going to join in these days; CNGrid nodes will be accessible through the gateway.

44. Conclusioni EUChinaGRID EU-IndiaGRID and EUMEDGRID stanno promuovendo l’uso di Grid nelle aree geografiche di interesse. EUChinaGRID ha un peso tecnico maggiore (IPv6, Interoperabilità). EU-India ha contenuti tecnici (interoperabilità) e di promozione. EUMEDGRID è molto focalizzato sulla diffusione della tecnologia, la creazione di infrastrutture nazionali e nella collaborazione scientifica nell’area mediterranea. EUChinaGRID ed EUMEDGRID hanno passato con successo la prima review il 27-28 Febbraio a Madrid. Il campo delle applicazioni si sta allargando.
