The GRIDSTART Cluster Dr Mark Parsons Commercial Director, EPCC and NeSC m.parsons@epcc.ed.ac.uk What is GRIDSTART? GRIDSTART is an Accompanying Measure Cluster project similar to the IPv6 Cluster funded by Research Networking Unit (K. Baxevanidis) started 1st April 2002 runs for 3 years €1.5 million total funding EPCC are coordinating partner Objectives are to encourage interaction between EU Grid projects identify synergies between different Grid application areas consolidate technical advances play a full role in setting Grid standards stimulate early takeup by industry and commerce be inclusive Newsletters technical bulletin aimed at Grid developers issue 1 now online /downloads.shtml technical newsletter aimed at technically aware researchers and managers in non-Grid academia and business – Dec 2002 external newsletter aimed at general business audience – April 2003 Formal GRIDSTART partners coordinating partners of 10 EU Grid projects Fabrizio Gagliardi – CERN – DATAGRID, DATATAG Dietmar Erwin – FZJ – EUROGRID, GRIP Bob Bentley – UCL – EGSO Marian Bubak – CYFRONET – CROSSGRID Peter Quinn – ESO – AVO Edgar Gabriel – HLRS – DAMIEN Mike Surridge – IT Innovation – GRIA Jarek Nabrzyski – PSNC - GRIDLAB Grids and IPv6 the Grid community are mostly applications users of the networking infrastructure GEANT is very important in this regard Grid applications will push the limits of available bandwidth but not yet LHC will come on line in 2006 – several 10s of petabytes/yr Lots of work on user requirements see: http://eu-datagrid.web.cern.ch/eu-datagrid/EUDocuments/Deliverables/ and find D7.1 Grids and IPv6 (continued) in the networking context Grid projects are focussing on: security managing bandwidth (reservation etc) QoS handling NAT … making “performance” networks perform clearly lots of overlap with IPv6 almost certainly the Grid community is reinventing the wheel Grids and IPv6 (continued) security Globus toolkit gives security – X.509 certificates can be used
