Grid: What and Why • Grid is a technology that incorporates distributed computing systems into a massive computing and storage pool with efficient resource sharing. • Grid can strengthen national competitiveness in ICT industries as well as promote sciences and engineering research. • Grid benefits several application domains: – E-commerce, E-government, E-learning – Digital Media and Animation – Geoinformatics, Bioinformatics – Financial Analysis – Etc.

Thai National Grid Project • A 4 years project under Ministry of Information and Communication Technology • 5.5 Million US$ program • Start from 13 universities and 1 government organizations • Extending rapidly

Objective • To accelerate research and education in Thailand by providing a strong infrastructure • To increase the competitiveness of Thailand’s IT industry using Grid technology • To build collaborations for interdisciplinary research • To create knowledge workers for the next generation IT and enterprise computing using grid technology • To increase awareness on Thailand’s IT competitiveness • To create more business opportunities using grid technology

Potential Application Domain • Life-science Grid • Cheminformatics Grid • Geoinformatics Grid • Digital Archive and E-learning • Computational Fluid Dynamics Grid • Simulation and Modeling Grid • Digital Media and Animation

Impact • Accelerate research and education in Thailand by providing a strong infrastructure – Better ability to store, process, and retrieve massive data set faster – Better and more secured data exchange infrastructure for research, development and academics – Better collaboration for interdisciplinary research • Enhance IT industry competitiveness • more competitive of Thailand’s IT industry • more awareness on Thailand’s IT • more knowledge workers for enterprise computing using grid technology

Strategies 1. Drive the creation of knowledge workers in Grid technology 2. Build a reliable, secured, and scalable infrastructure 3. Drive the adoption and application of grid technology in both academic and industry 4. Drive research and development in Grid technology 5. Drive the global awareness of Thailand’s competency in Grid technology

Building the Grid HEP Digital Media Medical Bioinformatics Grid Middleware High Speed Network

Coordination • Building quick communication infrastructure for technical contact – Mailing list, wiki, discussion board, web site • Building technical training “The secret of war program lies in the communication” Napoleon Bonaparte

Approach • Building a quick deployment technology – NPACI Rocks is a key technology being used • Collaboration SDSC/ TNGC under PRAGMA – Excellence for first time deployment but need more dynamic deployment • Building a good infrastructure monitoring and management system – Know what your grid are doing. We use SCMS tools (standard for PRAGMA as well) – Develop system monitoring, accounting, testing tools

Approach • Site certification program – Level 1: Network firewall compliance – Level 2: Middleware compliance (MPI/G2, Ninf-g) – Level 3: Job scheduling compliance – Level 4: Data Grid compliance • Standard – Define clear software stack
