aginfra: High Performance Compu8ng einfrastructure for Agriculture Antun Balaz Ins,tute of Physics Belgrade
What is aginfra? A 3- years project, co- funded by the European Union, developing data infrastructure and services for the global agricultural research community Involved are FAO and other informa,on and techno- logy partners from Europe, China, Ecuador and India Together with related ini,a,ves aiming for integrated services and open access data
The approach in a few words Linked Data for seman,c interoperability of heterogeneous data Grid/cloud services for massive data aggrega,on and heavy infrastructure service tasks Integrated services for search, access and usage Rich toolbox for working on and with the data, e.g., repository managers, service providers, research organiza,ons and projects
For a research community that... Collaborates to enable sustainable agriculture and food security for all Works in different regions as well as globally Applies knowledge and methods from different disciplines Shares research results in a trusjul and open way
Serbian HPC stakeholder: IPB The Ins,tute of Physics Belgrade (hnp://www.ipb.ac.rs/) is founded in 1961 by the Serbian government with a mission to conduct high quality research in physics and related sciences including applica,ons, and at present it contributes to more than 10% of the total new scien,fic knowledge generated in the country. IPB is highly recognized research ins,tute and partner at the European level, being host to four EU Centers of Excellence: CX- CMCS (Centre of Excellence for Computa,onal Modeling of Complex Systems), OPSA (Centre of Excellence for Op,cal Spectroscopy Applied in Physics, Material Science and Environmental Protec,on), IPB- CNP (Reinforcing Experimental Centre for Non- Equilibrium Studies with Applica,on in Nano- Technologies, Etching of Integrated Circuits and Environmental Research) QUPOM (Reinforcing the Centre for Quantum and Op,cal Metrology) IPB is partner in a large number of Framework Programme projects, as well as a host to several Marie Curie grants
IPB, Grid and HPC In 2008, IPB is designated by the Ministry of Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia as the referent ins,tu,on for Grid and HPC in the country, and appointed to represent Serbia in European HPC- related projects such as PRACE RI implementa,on phases IPB is also designated by the Ministry as a coordina,ng ins,tu,on for the seven- year Na,onal Supercompu,ng Ini,a,ve (2010-2016).
