11:20 → 11:50 Supercomputing in the Grid

Supercomputing and Grid computing have sometimes been considered as alternative paths to HPC. Claims have been made, that the Grid has the power of a supercomputer. While this is true for some application areas, CPU intensive applications that require high end interconnects and storage access will not run efficiently (and economically) in the current Grid.
In this talk, concepts from computer architecture will be reviewed in the context of application examples where supercomputing and the grid have common interests and work together in a complementary fashion. Current research and development areas of grid computing which leverage ideas originating in computer architecture and parallel computing will also be discussed.

14:10 APC - Dealing with hotspots in datacenters caused by high-density computing

Grid computing generally requires the deployment of high density servers or blades to deal with the high demands on processing power. Racks loaded with servers can draw up to 20kW of power which in turn generates the requirement to remove a corresponding heat load of 20kW from a single rack in order to maintain the servers at the correct and consistent operating temperatures. With most data centers designed to cool an average of no more than 2kW per rack, some innovative cooling strategies are now required. APC will describe the causes and effects of high heat loads and will give some guidance on how to effectively deal with this growing problem.

10:05 BAR

The Grid community expects the network to be always available. Scant attention has been paid to performance implications due to network failures, congestion and various other network related limitations. As Grids move from pure research initiatives to a commercially viable, production platform there is a strong need for quantitative and qualitative performance guarantees from the network. This can be achieved by network service provisioning.
This demonstration intends to preview the interfaces specified between EGEE and the networking community (GEANT2) as well as the common understanding reached between these two groups for a Network Service Provisioning model. It will also present a few use cases where such a service is useful and point out some practical aspects and limitations.
The JRA4-BAR activity has specified interfaces and is developing software to enable grid applications and middleware to seamlessly use the network services without having to tackle the network-level details. The software being developed is a middleware component, called the BAR (Bandwidth Allocation and Reservation) service, which abstracts network services by mapping application-oriented requests from Grid applications to network-oriented requests. A prototype implementation of the services, with a GUI web client for demonstration, has been developed.
Access to two sample services will be demonstrated:

1. Guaranteed Deadline File Transfer Service

This service enables a grid client to ensure that data is transferred from the designated source to destination within a given deadline. This is useful for gLite Replica Management and Job Scheduling.
2. Virtual Leased Line Service

This service enables a grid client to book a virtual leased line between two end points with quantitative and qualitative guarantees over network characteristics. This can be useful for real time grid applications, grid control traffic, etc.

This demonstration will highlight the capabilities that the BAR service can provide to Higher Layer Middlelware components in gLite by end of EGEE1. It presents the collaborative work of JRA4 with GE'ANT2 and the JRA1 and SA2 activities of EGEE.

10:05 EGEE Learning Development Phase One: Digital Library

Current EGEE training activities are predominantly delivered through scheduled events at distributed locations. Despite essential, these activities represent one feasible means for delivering training. EGEE Learning aims to pilot e-learning to support and enhance the quality of existing training activities. The first phase of the pilot involves the development of a core digital library infrastructure to underpin all subsequent EGEE Learning pilot services. It builds on an existing service-oriented repository to enable learning objects to be used in various resource discovery contexts: searching, linking and content management. Initial activities also involve curating a range of training resources including a metadata catalogue of existing presentations, reports, tutorials, bibliographic objects such as articles, books, journals and websites. Next phrase of developments include researching the use of wiki services for e-learning and collaborative annotation of metadata, and personalisation services for the digital library.

10:05 GPS@ (Biomed)

Understanding biological data from complete genome sequencing projects is one of major challenges in Bioinformatics. These data are published into several international databases. Thus, bioinformaticians need, for most analyses, an efficient access to these updated biological data integrated to relevant algorithms. And the size of these data is doubling each year, and scalability problems are now appearing. Grid computing could be a viable solution to distribute and integrate these genomics data and bioinformatics algorithms. We have integrated several bioinformatics databanks and software programs into grid environment in order to study the adequacy and relevance of such gridification: GPS@ web portal, Grid Protein Sequence Analysis , aims to be such an user-friendly interface for these grid genomic resources on the EGEE grid. GPS@ is a porting experiment on the EGEE platform of the NPS@ (Network Protein Sequence Analysis) production web portal, available since 1998 and providing biologist with proteins databases and algorithms for sequence analysis.

The evaluation of the malignity or benignity of a tumour is performed though the pathological analysis of tissues obtained in biopsies. However, biopsies are invasive, uncomfortable and produce an important degree of stress on the patients, so only suspicious cases goes through biopsy. Thus there is a need to increase the specificity and sensitivity of diagnostic procedures. An important trend is the analysis of the diffusion of contrast agents through Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The vascularity of the malignant tumours will lead to a contrast concentration evolution different from other lesions. Important research teams are modelling this behaviour for the different types of lesions, protocols and organs. The analysis lies on the acquisition of a time series of several volumetric images from the area of study. This is thus crucial that all images are correctly aligned and each pixel correspond to the same anatomical area all through the exploration. However, this cannot be guaranteed in areas such as the abdomen, were breathing and organ dynamics play an important role. There is thus a need for elastic coregistration of the images, which is a highly time-consuming task. The work developed consists on a system to perform the coregistration of time series of volumetric abdominal images in the Grid, using a simple interface that reduces the burden of the preparation of the data, selection of parameters, submission, monitoring and result retrieval. The demo will demonstrate the interface, upload a series of images from a study and launch a multi-parametric execution on the Grid. Results will be retrieved at the end of the execution. The execution to be shown would consume 60-80 CPU hours, but it can be achieved in 2 hours on the Grid, providing that enough resources are available.

The CMS system is being developed and integrated within the Task Force framework using the different contributions, notably for the experiment itself and by EGEE SA1 and NA4. In this demo we show concrete examples of analysis activity in the framework of CMS using the EGEE infrastructure. The examples range from job preparation (selecting data samples published by the collaboration) to job submission and result delivery. We will show also tools built on top of the EGEE infrastructure service to allow the user to follow the evolution of complex tasks (made up by large number of parallel-executing jobs), to take automatic correcting measures in case of problems (or to report to the user). The demo will be complemented to other material to give an exhaustive view of the grid-related activity in LHC.

11:30 NPM

EGEE JRA4 Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) have developed a Diagnostic Tool, designed for use by Network Operations Centres and Grid Operations Centres (including Core Infrastructure Centres). The intended use is to monitor network performance and aid in the diagnosis of network issues. This tool, accessed through a standard web browser, allows graphical and tabular display of both historical and current network measurements. Through the NPM web service framework, the interfaces of which adhere to GGF Network Monitoring Working Group (NM-WG) standards, data from heterogeneous network monitoring frameworks can be accessed. EGEE JRA4 has collaborated with the PerfSONAR project, a joint Internet2, ESnet and GEANT2 effort, to enable access to worldwide network backbone data, and in this demo we will show the Diagnostic Tool accessing both PerfSONAR backbone data and e2emonit (formerly EDG/WP7) end-to-end monitoring data. After the demo, we will be available for questions and comments and hope to gain valuable feedback from interested parties.

11:30 Simri@Web : An MRI simulation service on EGEE grid architecture. (Biomed)

This demonstration presents the web portal developed to offer through a user friendly interface a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) simulation service on the grid based on the SIMRI simulator. SIMRI is a 3D Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) simulator based on the Bloch equations. SIMRI integrates in a unique simulator most of the existing simulation features offered in different simulators. It takes into account the main static field value and enables realistic simulations of the chemical shift artifact including off-resonance phenomena. It also simulates the artifacts linked to the static field inhomogeneity like those induced by susceptibility variation within an object. It is implemented in the C language under CECILL open source license and the MRI sequence programming is done using high level C functions with a simple programming interface. To manage large simulations, the magnetization kernel is implemented in a parallelized way that enables simulation on grid architecture.

Speaker: Hugues Benoit-Cattin (CREATIS)

11:30 SRM/DICOM and Metadata (Biomed)

The demonstration will show a Medical Data Manager service (MDM) for manipulating medical images and related medical data such as patient or acquisition information. The MDM exposes a DICOM interface (Digital Image and COmmunication in Medicine) on the one side and an SRM interface on the other side. It thus provides a bridge between hospital medical data stored in the standard DICOM format and grid files. It can be seen as a specialized Storage Element able to directly access medical files stored in the hospital DICOM server(s). The demonstration will show how medical images coming from an imager are registered into the system. A MDM client library that can then retreive images either from the file identifier or the associated metadata ("get file of patient X acquired at date D") will be demonstrated. Through this interface, classical grid jobs can access and process the medical data. An extra level of key-based data encryption is used to ensure that data exported outside the hospital to the grid are never stored in a readable format on disk. For the demonstration, 3 DICOM servers hosting various medical data will be set up in Orsay, Lyon, and Nice.

The MDM is the result of a successfull collaboration between:

• The NA4/biomedical community (LAL, I3S, and CREATIS CNRS laboratories) providing the interface to DICOM servers and expert knowledge
• The NA4/HEP community (ARDA), providing the metadata manager.
• JRA1, providing grid data management and SRM interfaces.
• JRA3, providing the encryption procedures.

The MDM is an application-oriented service of general interest for the biomedical community. Applications such as 'Bronze Standards', 'pharmacokinetics', 'GATE' or 'gPTM3D' are potential users of this service once it will be finalized.

E.g. if I have unspent effort in NA2, it is possible to claim costs for NA4? SHould the EC be notified? - How about shifting budget between categories? Is a consortium decision sufficient or a contract amendment? (Probably the latter). - How about shifting between partners? - I have unspent NA1 budget? Would it be possible to claim administrative and financial work? How about travel?

14:35 Achieved deployment of the first biomedical data challenge WISDOM

During the summer of 2005, the first biomedical data challenge for drug discovery was deployed on the LCG infrastructure of the EGEE grid production service. Entitled WISDOM (Wide In Silico Docking On Malaria), the challenge saw over 46 million docked ligands during that period, the equivalent of 80 CPU years. 1000 computer were simultaneously used in 15 countries around the world. This CPU consuming application of in silico virtual screening on the grid was initiated and implemented by Fraunhofer SCAI in Germany and the PLC of Clermont-Ferrand in France. The demonstration will show the issues for a large scale deployment of a docking application on a grid infrastructure. The grid statistics of the biomedical data challenge available on the web site http://wisdom.eu-egee.fr will be discussed. Then preliminary results of the screening predicted docked complexes will be presented.

14:35 GILDA Grid Applications Demo

The GILDA team designed and developed several applications to show up how the EGEE gLite middleware can exploit the power of the Grid. Some of the most attractive applications will be presented during the demo, focusing on the ones that allow us to demonstrate the last features available in gLite.
In particular, the following ones will be run:
gMOD (grid Movie On Demand): a new application that offers to the user a video on demand service. Trailers could be searched by querying a grid metadata service. This application makes use of the new AMGA Metadata Catalogue Service, developed by ARDA team and soon part of the gLite middleware.
hadronTherapy : hadronTherapy is a simulation program based on the CERN toolkit GEANT4, developed at INFN LNS. hadronTherapy simulates the beam line and particles revelators used in the proton-therapy facility for the cure of eye cancer at CATANA (Centro di AdroTerapia e Applicazioni Nucleari avanzate), active even at INFN-LNS.
GATE (Geant4 application for Tomographic emission) is a C++ platform based on Geant4 software. It models nuclear medicine applications, among the OpenGATE collaboration. Its functionalities combined to its ease of use make this platform also impressive for radiotherapy and brachytherapy treatment planning.
CODESA3D (COupled DEnsity-dependent variably SAturated flow and miscible transport 3D model): Application from Earth Science is a three-dimensional finite element simulator for flow and solute transport in variably saturated porous media on unstructured domains. The flow and solute transport processes are coupled through the variable density of the filtrating mixture made of water and dissolved matter (salt, pollutants).
PATSEARCH is a flexible and fast pattern matcher able to search specific combinations of oligonucletide consensi, secondary structure elements and position-weight matrices also allowing for mismatches/mispairing below a user fixed treshold. It is able to find, in a given sequence(s), kinds of loop structures that characterize tRNAs, rRNAs (hairpin loop, stem loop with bulges or internal loops) and/or any kind of pattern in DNA and protein sequences.
EGEODE: a Grid Infrastructure for Geosciences. EGEODE is an initiative to create a Virtual Organization dedicated to research in Geosciences for both industrial R&D (public and private) and Academic Labs. It was launched by CGG mid 2004 in the context of EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE), the largest worldwide grid infrastructure project to date. EGEODE stands for Expanding Geosciences On Demand. It raises already interest across Europe and Russia and will deliver a framework for collaboration Industry / Research.

Speaker: Giuseppe La Rocca (GILDA)

14:35 GROCK (Biomed)

GROCK harnesses the power of the grid to provide a convenient tool to conduct high-throughput screening analysis using 'docking' methods.

A 'docking' analysis is atheoretical attempt to identify possible interactions between a protein and another molecule. GROCK allows users to specify a probe molecule and select a 3D-structural database to search, preforming then a docking analysis of the probe molecule against every entry in the database and producing a list of potential interactions ranked by energy. Two example applications of GROCK are:

• By specifying a drug or small compound and selecting a protein database, the user may derive potential applications and possible undesirable side effects of a probe drug.
• Using a protein as the probe molecule and matching it against a protein database may prove useful to unravel protein-protein interaction networks.

GROCK sheds much promise for the future analysis of high-throughput data as generated in current major research projects. But by virtue of its theoretical, 'in-silico' approach, and its reliance on underlying existing 'docking' mechanisms, its results should be always verified and backed-up by additional experiments just like those of any other similar tool (like Blast or FastA).

14:35 ProActive/gLite bridge

This demo shows the ability of frameworks such as ProActive to use existing resources on the Grid. ProActive is a Java API developed by INRIA. It provides tools and functions which make the development and deployment of distributed applications easier. Now, with ProActive, one is able to run distributed programs on several grids, including the EGEE grid.

For the demonstration, graphic computation applications will be executed with ProActive, using EGEE grid computing resources thanks to gLite.

16:30 CHARON System - A Framework for Comfortable Grid Applications & Jobs Management

Here we present a generic system for utilization of application programs in the EGEE Grid environment - the CHARON system. Charon was developed by computational chemistry community in the Czech republic to provide easy manageable, comfortable and modular environment to fulfill specific requirements of computational chemistry application users. It currently offers an alternative to standard LCG/EGEE environment in application-generic Virtual Organization for Central Europe (VOCE). Present-day implementation of Charon system is completely compatible with scripting roots of the EGEE Grid environment, provides comfort computational jobs management by encapsulation of available LCG/EGEE middleware enviroment, support for smooth administration of large amount of computational jobs and enables easy retracing of already finished calculations. Compared to widely-spread graphical user interfaces (i.e. portals) Charon is oriented towards users requiring simple but feature-rich and powerful command line and scripting interface that offers support for tens and hundreds of jobs withing a single research project. Taking into account the cornerstones on which the system is built up - modularity and generality - it is not targeted only for molecular modelling purposes but represents a generic application framework easily adoptable for broad set of generic application areas and their specific programs. Moreover Charon also permits to utilize resources from non-EGEE Grids as well. Therefore Charon is expected to be one of useful tools available for promoting utilization of Grid environment for general public purposes.

16:30 Live CD grid-site installation

We will show a grid-site installation (CE +SE + some WNs) over our laptops using the Live CD developed by the EGRID team. The grid site will then join our egrid testbed infrastructure.

Speaker: Stefano Cozzini

16:30 NA3/NA4 (generic) P-GRADE portal

The P-GRADE portal is a graphical, workflow oriented multi-VO, Multi-Grid portal. It enables a user-freindly, graphical creation and definition of complex workflows. Components of the workflows can be sequential jobs, parallel MPI jobs and legacy code services. The input and output files of the jobs can be taken and put from/on any storage element of the Grid. The portal takes care of starting the jobs and controlling the necessary file transfers without any user interventions. The user can watch on-line the workflow execution by animation at the workflow graph level and by graphical progress time diagrams. The user can allocate the whole workflow or any part to the EGEE broker or can assign resources individually to the workflow components. The portal can execute parallel branches (components) of the workflow simultaneously in different VOs or in different Grids. Fault-tolerance mechanism enables reassigning of failed jobs to other resources of the Grid. The portal works as service for SEE-GRID, HunGrid, VOCE and UK NGS. It can work as service for any VOs of EGEE. It is particularly useful for novice Grid users to train them how to create and execute Grid applications. Detailed information can be found at: http://www.lpds.sztaki.hu/pgportal/.

Speaker: Norbert Podhorszki

16:30 User activity on the EGEE Grid

Some of the components belonging to the ATLAS and LHCb prototypes developed within EGEE NA4 in close collection with the experiments themselves will be illustrated. We would like to show the different stages of job preparation (including debugging on local resources) and then the steps needed to run on grid resources. This part is a simplified version of the informal tutorial session EGEE NA4 has organised for the pilot users in the LHC collaborations to enable to port with minimal effort their day-by-day activity to benefit the EGEE infrastructure capacity. The task-level parallelisation of real analysis jobs using the DIANE system will be shown. The demo will be complemented to other material to give an exhaustive view of the grid-related activity in LHC.
