1. 1 The state of Grid computing in Vietnam, and which aims the VNGrid Project wants to reach Dr. Lang Van, Tran HCM City Institute of Information Technology Member of VNGrid Project

2. 2 Outline Grid Computing in Vietnam Example Applications VNGrid Project Conclusions and Future Work

3. 3 Grid Computing in Vietnam There have taken and developed a few of centers for HPC, These centers were located in other areas of our country. –In Hanoi, centers for HPC of Hanoi University of Technology (2001), Hanoi College of Natural Sciences (2003), Vietnamese Institute of Mathematics (2004). –In HCM city, HCM City University of Technology has established the system for high- performance computing (2004).

4. 4 In the past several year, there are a few of groups studying the Grid computing 2003 2004 2005 2001-2002 Conference on HPC and Grid Computing, in HCM City, held by Ministry of Science and Technology The centers and systems for HPC were founded (300 GFlops is max.) IOIT-HCM Grid Project HCM City UT Grid Project (6/2005) BK Grid Group, Hanoi UT Grid Group of HCM City College Natural Sciences BioGrid, IOIT-HCM

5. 5 Example Applications Implementing some Grid Portals: –Grid iPortal (HCM City College of Natural Sciences) –BK Grid Portal (Hanoi University of Technology) –Bio Grid Portal (HCM City Institute of Information Technology)

6. 6 Studying the Multi Agent for discovering the resource of Grid system (Hanoi University of Technology): OS Linux Java FrameworkGlobus Toolkit 3.2.1 System Services WekaSecurityGrid FTPGram AgentScheduler BKGrid Portal –System Services –Classifier service –Cluster service –Association rule service

7. 7 What have we done Experiment deploying for problems of bioinformatics –Gene Mapping, using Haplotype Pattern Mining (HPM), and Density Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise (DBSCAN) to specify the locations of genetic diseases (IOIT-HCM). –Performing Blast and gene prediction in Grid computing environment using iGridPortal (HCM City College of Natural Sciences)

8. 8 Access Grid for collaboration the multimedia data (IOIT-HCM) –Support the Conference on IT and Communication in Haiphong, Vietnam (10/2005) Connecting IOIT-HCM Grid with PRAGMA (02/2006)

12. 12 VNGrid Project To be financed by Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam A two years project, will be finished in October 2008 ~ 160,000 USD Program (2,5 Million VND)

13. 13 Starting from five universities and institutes, collected to lead and execute this project: –Vietnamese Institute of Information Technology (IOIT), –Hanoi University of Technology, –Vietnamese National University in Hanoi (VNU – Hanoi), –Vietnamese Military Technical Academy (VMTA), –HCM City Institute of Information Technology (IOIT-HCM)

14. 14 The aims of VNGrid project 1.Building the Grid Computing system –Be connected by five institutions –Connecting with some of other Grid systems in the world  The initial Cyber-infrastructure of VNGrid will be built

15. 15 The aims 2.Studying to deploy the middlewares –Monitoring and Discovering the resources of the sites and whole of connected system, –Scheduling and Broking to be the same as a meta-scheduler and broker  To develop the some middlewares in this field.  But there is a long way to reach that phase

16. 16 The aims 3.To build the Grid-based Applications –Bioinformatics, –Meteorology, –Virtual Reality, and –Cryptography.  For Experimental Deployment

17. 17 Contents are planed Each member participating in VNGrid project have to build the own site, –Selecting the common technology solution for VNGrid –Having to be suitable for Vietnam environment

18. 18 Contents Building the Grid system connected between: –IOIT-HCM Grid –Center for HPC of Hanoi University of Technology –Center for HPC of Hanoi College of Natural Science, VNU in Hanoi –Vietnamese Institute of IT –Center for Electronics and Computer Science, Vietnam Military Technical Academy

19. 19 Contents To compile the technology process, scientific solution and necessary policy to be connected with VNGrid.

20. 20 Contents Connecting the VNGrid with PRAGMA, And some of the other Grid system in the world.

21. 21 Contents Deploying the tools for management of job scheduling Studying to build the monitoring and discovering system, from that to deploy on VNGrid. Studying and deploying safety, security and authentication solutions

22. 22 Contents To study Access Grid Deploying the system exploiting multimedia data,  And from that, creating the environment for collaborator and sharing resources.

23. 23 Contents Studying the methods and the strategies to deploy the Grid-based applications.  The documents for programming way and deploying of scientific applications on Grid system will be compiled.

24. 24 Contents Building VNGrid Portal for development and deployment the Grid applications

25. 25 Conclusion Grid Computing and e-Science are chance for underdeveloped countries as Vietnam  Using the bigger resources In our country there are some institutions having just begun studying Grid Computing  Assembling forces to carry out the VNGrid Project. To have to choose suitable solutions and applications
