1 Supporting computational science in Nordic area CSC the Finnish IT center for science ORAP Paris Kimmo Koski Managing Director, CSC Finland
2 Contents Nordic support structures Case Norway, Sweden and Denmark Case CSC the Finnish IT center for science Growing need for international collaboration Opinions on hot topics in Nordic area and in Europe Distribution vs. centralization Is there a superior computer architecture: varying needs of top science Respect for the national infrastructures How to build competence to meet the grand challenges
3 Nordic characteristics Tradition in Nordic collaboration: Nordic Minister council, Nordic funding, Nordunet, Very different national systems in supporting scientific computing Finland: fully centralized (one national center) Sweden and Norway: distributed (4-6 national small centers) Denmark: no center at all, funding distributed to research groups Some challenges in fitting together the national systems Still growing interest in tighter collaboration in HPC and science infrastructures
4 Nordic development plans Nordic collaboration structure is forming: funding bodies, governments, HPC centers Nordic Data Grid Facility proposal for 2006-> Common interest in: Resource exchange (cycles, application usage, databases, persons, ) Unified coordination of international projects: CERN LHC, ESO, ITER, ) Better interactions through Nordic forums, such as HPC conferences Research network development, dark fiber and lambda networks Future data challenges: opportunity for workload optimization? Tighter links between Nordic computing centers The Nordic collaboration is targeted to contribute in European level In some cases one or more Nordic countries together, in some cases individually
5 Nordic Collaboration - NDGF NDGF- Nordic Data Grid Facility Long-term initiative run by the Joint Committee of the Nordic Natural Science Research Councils (NOS-N) in 2002 to establish a Nordic Data Grid Facility and to involve Nordic countries in European and global co-operation in data sharing in a variety of fields Participants: Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden National funding: prototype phase ( ) Funding for the year 2006 proposed Management infrastructure - Nordic Steering Committee National test-beds for R&D in Grid-technology are being set up in all the Nordic Countries Using Usingthe the NORDUGrid middleware (funded by bynordunet2) Storage elements: app. app TB TB of of public public available storage
6 The e VITA Initiative (Norway) escience; Infrastructure, Theory and Applications (coordinated action) Motivation: computational science is one of the most important technical fields of the 21st century because it is essential to advances throughout society. (PITAC, 2005) Scope Budget~10 MEURO/year

21 HAKA Infrastructure and Middleware in the Finnish Higher Education The purpose of the HAKA infrastructure is to support the teaching and research activities in the Finnish universities and polytechnics by developing and maintaining the common infrastructure for user identification. HAKA is a part of the Finnish Electronic IDentification in Higher Education (FEIDHE), a national funded joint project of the academic community in Finland. The system has been built up as a collaboration project between CSC and academic IT centers since March different pilots have been carried in With his own user ID, the user can log in to services connected to the HAKA infrastructure regardless of the organization that maintains the service - in conjunction with the log in, the user s current ID data is transferred to the service provider. The The HAKA HAKA infrastructure infrastructure is is based based on on the the SAML SAML standard standard and and Shibboleth Shibboleth Open Open Source Source code code solutions. solutions. Shibboleth Shibboleth technology technology was was developed developed in in universities universities in in the the United United States. States.
22 CSC Software Development : SOMA Project The aim of Soma project (part of the drug2000-program)is to organize and update CSC's modeling environment to better meet the European standard in computer-aided drug design and increase its usability by non-experts in computer modeling. Funded by CSC and the National Technology Agency (Tekes) Tailored structure-based small-molecule design environment Consists of several molecular modeling tools (e.g. MDL, CSDS, Corina, Gold, Volsurf, Bodil) and allows designing of hypothetic new ligand molecules and predicts their properties SOMA SOMA can can be be accessed from from the the CSC CSC Scientist s interface
23 CSC Software Development : MIKA Project Multigrid Instead of K-spAce MIKA is the real-space, multigrid-based program package for electronic structure calculations with applications in research of quantum dots, nanostructures and positron physics. 3 year collaboration project with COMP group of the Laboratory of Physics at Helsinki University of Technology and CSC to prepare a free academic SW through the Open Source code MIKA consists of several dierent modules for solving the Kohn-Sham equations of the density- functional theory in dierent geometries a b c d Snapshots from from a simulation of of nanowire breaking by by the the ultimate jellium jelliummodel. model. A catenoid surface surface (a), (a), cluster-derived structures (b) (b) and and (d), (d), and and uniform cylindrical shape shape (c) (c) can can be be seen. seen. Green Green rectangles mark mark the the lead-constriction boundary
24 CSC Software Development : ELMER Elmer - Finite Element Software for Multiphysical Problems Elmer is a finite element computational tool for multi-physics problems developed in collaboration with Finnish universities, research laboratories and industry Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer etc. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM) The program has been developed at CSC over the past 10 years. ELMER 5.0 is currently released as an open source SW under the GNU General Public License. Elmer comprises of several different parts: the geometry, boundary conditions and physical models are defined in ElmerFront; the resulting problem definition is solved by ElmerSolver. Finally, the results are visualized by ElmerPost. Additionally, a utility ElmerGrid may be used for simple mesh manipulations
25 Growing need for international collaboration in providing infrastructure Motivation to develop national infrastructure AND form international networks/grids is growing in Nordic area Growing need and impact of computational science (PITAC 2006) Research groups are working increasingly internationally, so the support organisations also need to provide internationally competitive resources Global players are looking for strong collaborators Solving Grand challenge problems might require investments beyond country budgets Survey for Nordic Grand challenges of computing Boosting Nordic area attractiveness for top researchers Competitive infrastructure Stimulating research environment
26 Hot topics in Nordic and Europe Distribution vs. centralization The optimal solution to might be different depending on the location History often decisive: for example it is very difficult to close centers and human capital is still the major asset Efficient co-usage of centralization and (human) networks, solution is a combination adapted to national needs Is there a superior computer architecture: varying needs of top science No single architecture solves all problems Not all the problems can (usually) be addressed sufficiently within the available budget Requirement for priorities: what are the most important grand challenges (in the opinion of the funding authority)
27 Hot topics in Nordic and in Europe (cont.) Respect for the national infrastructures Existing investment for hardware, software and peopleware in all of the European countries can not be bypassed New infrastructures need to be built on top of the existing ones Top specialists usually have a choice Number of top specialists is limited starting from scratch requires human capital Grid projects linking national infrastructures can be very useful, if get to address concrete issues
28 How to build competence to meet the grand challenges of computing with sustainable infra European HPC center(s) National/regional centers, Grid-collaboration (DEISA etc.) Local centers Major problems might require parallel computing with processors and we do not even know what new problems this will cause How to build the competence to solve top-end problems Two lower layers very important (majority of person resources, applications development etc.) Balanced system with smooth interoperability between layers is important Lower layers feed upper layers with scalable applications
