EUROGRID Vision
Build a European Grid infrastructure
that gives users
a seamless, secure access to
 High Performance Computing resources
and that advances
computational science
in Europe

EUROGRID Goals
European HPC centers build and run a GRID testbed
Seamless access to HPC resources
Multi-site jobs
Interfaces for important applications
Bio-/Chemical
Meteo
CAE
Industrial applications and GRID usage scenarios
ASP services for engineers
Intranet solutions for distributed organizations
Development of new GRID middleware
E.g. resource broker, efficient data transfer, . . .
Contribute to Global GRID development

EUROGRID Geography

UNICORE Architecture

Bio–GRID
Develop interfaces to existing biological and
chemical codes
Operate a GRID for biomolecular simulations

Meteo–GRID
Develop a relocatable version of local weather prediction model
ASP solution for on demand localized
weather prediction

CAE–GRID
Coupled simulations of aircrafts
(e.g. structure and electromagnetism)
Goal:
internal HPC portal for EADS engineers

CAE–GRID
T-Systems (Debis Systemhaus) operates
www.hpcportal.de
Provide HPC portal to engineers at Daimler–Chrysler and partners
Develop GRID technology for computing cost estimates and billing

Future developments
UNICORE will be a supported, product-quality GRID system
A public domain license is available for research purposes
(www.unicore.org, from May 2002 on)
Interoperability with Globus is under way (GRIP project)
New GRID standards (OGSA, Web Services, UDDI, SOAP,...) are under investigation and will be supported
