Presentation overview
• General description of the EGEE project and relations to HEP CERN LCG project
• EGEE operates a production infrastructure:– Operations– Middleware– Applications
• Establishment of new user communities• Promoting and enabling international
collaboration

The largest Grid Infrastructure: EGEE
• Objectives– consistent, robust and secure service
grid infrastructure– improving and maintaining the
middleware– attracting new resources and users
from industry as well as science
• Structure – 71 leading institutions in 27 countries,
federated in regional Grids– leveraging national and regional grid
activities worldwide– funded by the EU with ~32 M Euros
for first 2 years starting 1st April 2004– Second project phase starts April
2006

EGEE Activities
• 48 % service activities (Grid Operations, Support and Management, Network Resource Provision)
• 28 % networking (Management, Dissemination and Outreach, User Training and Education, Application Identification and Support, Policy and International Cooperation) Emphasis in EGEE is on
operating a productiongrid and supporting the end-users
From Phase I to II• From 1st EGEE EU Review in February 2005:
– “The reviewers found the overall performance of the project very good.”– “… remarkable achievement to set up this consortium, to realize
appropriate structures to provide the necessary leadership, and to cope with changing requirements.”
• EGEE I– Large scale deployment of EGEE infrastructure to deliver
production level Grid services with selected number of applications
• EGEE II– approved !– Natural continuation of the project’s first phase– Emphasis on providing an infrastructure for e-Science
increased support for applications increased multidisciplinary Grid infrastructure more involvement from Industry
– Extending the Grid infrastructure world-wide increased international collaboration
(Asia-Pacific is already a partner!)

Other components
• Local clusters for specialised training purposes– did LCG-2 and gLite installation courses using virtualised „Grid in
a box“
– 16 dual-CPU nodes, 1GB, 700 Mhz each CPU
– up to 5 virtual images on each node
– Xen
– complete Grid created from virtualised components
• Laptops as training environment– provide pre-installed laptops to each student
• Knoppix – P&P Linux environment

Some Successes
• See press release: „EGEE battles malaria with Grid wisdom“ (over 46 million docked ligands)
• See press release: „EGEE makes rapid earth quake analysis possible“ (analysis of large indonesian earth quake 28.03.05 within 30 hours, showed that it was not an aftershock of the tsunami)

Conclusions
• Grids are a powerful new tool for science – as well as other fields
• Grid computing has been chosen by CERN and HEP as the most cost effective computing model
• Several other applications are already benefiting from Grid technologies (biomedical is a good example)
• Investments in grid projects are growing world-wide• Europe is strong in the development of Grids also
thanks to the success of EGEE and related projects• Collaboration across national and international
programmes is very important:– Grids are above all about collaboration at a large scale– Science is international and therefore requires an international
computing infrastructure• Large and versatile Grid training environment
