1. Status of CNGrid and Interests on International Testbed Depei Qian Sino-German Joint Software Institute (JSI) Beihang University SC12 BoF on Computing Research Testbeds as a Service Salt Lake City, USA Nov. 13, 2012

2. 863 key projects on HPC and Grid: 2006-2010 “High productivity Computer and Grid Service Environment” Period: 2006-2010 (extended to now) 940 million Yuan from the MOST and more than 1B Yuan matching money from other sources CNGird is one of the major outcomes of the project

3. CNGrid environment 14 sites SCCAS (Beijing, major site) SSC (Shanghai, major site ) NSCTJ (Tianjin) NSCSZ (Shenzhen) NSCJN (Jinan) Tsinghua University (Beijing) IAPCM (Beijing) USTC (Hefei) XJTU (Xi’an) SIAT (Shenzhen) HKU (Hong Kong) SDU (Jinan) HUST (Wuhan) GSCC (Lanzhou) The CNGrid Operation Center (based on SCCAS)

5. CNGrid Resources 14 sites >3PF aggregated computing power >15PB storage

6. CNGrid GOS Architecture Grid Portal, Gsh+CLI, GSML Workshop and Grid Apps OS (Linux/Unix/Windows) PC Server (Grid Server) J2SE( 1.4.2_07, 1.5.0_07 ) Tomcat( 5.0.28 ) + Axis( 1.2 rc2 ) Axis Handlers for Message Level Security Core, System and App Level Services

7. Domain application Grid Introducing Cloud Computing concept into CNGrid CNGrid—as IaaS and partially PaaS Domain application Grids—as SaaS and partially PaaS Taking advantages of aggregating distributed heterogeneous resources by Gird and of applying the business model of cloud computing Prototype domain application Grids Simulation and optimization automobile industry aircraft design steel industry Scientific computing Bio-information application computational chemistry

8. Domain application Grid (cont’d) Using CNGrid as virtual resources which can be dynamically requested and allocated End users obtain resources and services via domain application grids Business model defined between CNGrid and domain application grids Accounting Billing policies Promote usage of CNGrid Exploring sustainable development of CNGrid

9. Domain applications (Grid) Drug Discovery Weather forecasting Scientific data Grid and its application in research Water resource Information system Grid-enabled railway freight Information system Grid for Chinese medicine database applications HPC and Grid for Aerospace Industry (AviGrid) National forestry project planning, monitoring and evaluation

10. Status of e-Infrastructure Still far behind in many aspects Especially weak in applications Need multi-disciplinary research Shortage in cross-disciplinary talents Sustainable development is crucial Lack of regular budget for e-Infrastructure Always competing funding with other disciplines

11. The 12th 5-year plan China’s high-tech program has identified priority topics in both HPC and cloud computing A key project on cloud computing has been launched “Key technologies and systems of cloud computing (1st phase) Network operating systems Network search engines Network based language translation Cloud system management Prototype cloud systems

12. The 12th 5-year plan (cont’d) A new key project on “high productivity computer and application service environment” launched (2011-2015) Emphasis on balanced development on high productivity computers, application environment, and HPC applications

13. Cooperation with EU and US EU FP6/FP7 EUChinaGRID EchoGRID Bridge Chain EPIKH Chain-Read US Cooperation with the Condor team China-US cooperation on software (to be initiated) Extreme scale software Emerging software architechtures Trustworthy software

14. Interests on international testbed Experiments and evaluation on new technologies Coordinating research efforts and exchanging R&D experiences Joint development on some topics with common interests

15. Issues to be addressed Interoperability of existing software and development of new software for testbed Cost/Funding Network bandwidth
