Why is Helix Nebula relevant for HPC?

  • Started with 3 “extreme” labs with global user community

– Instrumentation:

  • Earth Observation satellites and archives,
  • LHC
  • Next Generation DNA sequencing and high-throughput 4-dimensional

microscopy/imaging technologies

– Models:

  • Climate change, Earthquakes, …
  • LHC: Interactive data analysis, simulation of physics detectors
  • Helps biomedical researchers to better understand the concepts of life

(aging, diseases…) and it also helps developing new drugs or treatments

Set up a sustainable multi-tenant cloud computing infrastructure in Europe, initially based on the needs of the European Research Area & Space agencies 2. Identify and adopt policies for trust, security and privacy on a European-level 3. Create a light-weight governance structure involving all stakeholders 4. Define a short and medium term funding scheme

What is Infrastructure?

  • Infrastructure consists of common resources

used for deployment of platforms.

  • Physical infrastructure includes the copper, fiber,

silicon, and wireless switching fabric of the internet.

  • DNS is an infrastructure service for the Internet.

Helix Nebula, the Science Cloud

  • It is NOT a project!
  • It doesn’t have a paying customer: it is meeting

strategic interest of each participant preparing the future

  • It has been set up by “Extreme Labs”, IT & T-Com

industry, SMEs (application & computing) to create something new by bringing together a fragmented landscape and building on strength from sustainable diversity

Strategic Objective

  • The European Research Area shall drive the

development and implementation of a secure and globally recognised European Cloud Computing Infrastructure, initially targeting science users. This infrastructure will become THE platform for Europe, under public governance, ensuring open standard and interoperability and adhering to European policies, norms and requirements.

Long Term Goal

  • To create a multi-tenant ‘Open Market Place for

Science’, where data, scientists, funding bodies, SMEs and downstream industry are meeting to work along common interests.

This ecosystem should implement many-to-many relationships, quickly being established, to transform data into valuable information

Operating as an Ecosystem

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.

What is an Ecosystem?

  • An ecosystem is a system of systems that all share

resources and protocols, and interact and influence the

  • utcome of each other.
  • In a healthy ecosystem there is a natural

interdependence that is balanced against competition.

  • An ecosystem needs multiple competing platforms to be

contained within a single company or institution.

  • The sustainable ecosystem seems to be based on open

participation at all levels.

New flagships

  • 3 selected from 15 proposals:

– European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)

  • Weather Data Information Supersite (WDIS) with 100 years
  • f weather data

– UNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission)

  • Ocean and Coastal Information Supersite (OCIS)

– Port d’Informació Científica (PIC), Barcelona

  • Reduce costs and improve speed of delivery, increase

volume and accuracy for Neuroimaging

Helix Nebula, GEANT & GRID

  • Connections of Helix Nebula partners is ensured

through private and/or GEANT network (100 Gbit/s)

  • EGI (European Grid Infrastructure) is part of

Helix Nebula consortium and will also be accessible through the Blue Box thanks to an hybrid model

Helix Nebula and HPC

  • The expertise developed by the HPC community

in efficient parallel programming paradigms and

  • ptimising software for a range of architectures

is directly relevant.

  • As well as sharing expertise, the services offered

by structures such as Helix Nebula and the HPC centres should be integrated to form part of the

  • verall ecosystem To participate in the

federated identity management scheme and data sharing services.

Mutual Benefits

  • Increase the HPC user community with relevant

capability needs and possibility to off load capacity to Helix Nebula (commodity hardware)

  • Bringing HPC resources within this heterogeneous

and federated Science Cloud Infrastructure would significantly enhance the performance of the

  • verall infrastructure and its ability to solve next

generation of scientific problems (in the field of bioinformatics, climate change, …)
