EUROGRID, GRIP Links to National Grid infrastructures Image courtesy EUROGRID project Infrastructure across 17 European States Cross-Atlantic link Application requirements: Computing > 20 TFlops/s Downloads > 0.5PBytes/day Network speeds at 10Gbit/s Collaborations of more than 2000 scientists Infrastructure across 6 European States Industrial design, simulations (as well as scientific applications) Globus - Unicore interface Application requirements: Real-time, Resource brokerage, Portals, Coupled applications

6. CERN Krakow 2001 F. Gagliardi - CERN/IT 6 Major impact to Application Communities  Virtual collaboratories lead to new work models & application community structures.  In IST:  High Energy Physics  Earth & Space Observation  Environment, Weather forecast  Bio-sciences and Health  Industrial design/simulation/visualization  ASP CERN-LHC ESA EADS-Aerospace Bio-Sciences

7. CERN Krakow 2001 F. Gagliardi - CERN/IT 7 Commercial Perspectives Grid concepts address industry concerns, like:  Resources ‘on demand’, resource brokerage (xSP)  Direct communication between applications / transparent access to each other (P2P)  Internet/distributed computing & simulations (industrial design & verification)  Connection of greater range of access facilities to the internet (the non-PC Internet market) Examples of areas addressed in IST:  ASP services for industrial HPC-service users  Virtual digital studio (film industry)  Distributed computing/simulations for industrial design & verification (automotive, aerospace)

8. CERN Krakow 2001 F. Gagliardi - CERN/IT 8 A new IST Action-line for year 2002 CPA9: “GRID Technologies & their applications”  Maintain current focus in solving complex scientific application problems - address new disciplines  Interoperability, Standards, Infrastructures Put new emphasis on: Put new emphasis on:  Fast uptake across many industrial & commercial applications (e.g. Peer-to- Peer)  Knowledge Grids (e.g. links to Semantic Web)  Demonstration & Training facilities  Accompanying Measures, Social aspects International participation is encouraged in IST
