E-Science Activities � Computational Sciences � Bioinformatics and Computational Biology � Cheminformatics and Computational Chemistry � Agrobioinformatics (Precision Farming), � Natural Resources Informatics (Biodiversity) � High Energy Physics and Nuclear Simulation � Engineering eg CFD using Open-FOAM � Grid and Cloud Computing � E-Culture (Digital Culture and Heritage)

(On Demand Infrastructure for Research and Education Collaborative Infrastru cture) � Video Collaboration Services � Individual or Group virtual meetings, hassle-free video conferencing systems including ubiquitous desktop video collaboration with recordings desktop video collaboration with recordings � 158 concurrent sites (60 in Full HD), even Laptops � 1VideoBridge, Northern Light, AccessGrid, EVO, etc � uCAST Video Sharing Portal – UPM’s “YouTube” � Streaming media facility � On Demand Rich Media for Learning

Eg :Rich Media for E-Learning � Recorded video collaboration sessions as VOD materials (Unedited and edited) � Plan to acquire Video Centre for recording and streaming to complement MCU � Over 6 years experience and using many technologies technologies � Challenges:Constantly in need of assistance from technical staff (costly) � Using simple readily available devices: webcams, built-ins or detached, handsfree personal speaker microphone, Xacti and Flip � EMPOWER the lecturer to do it by themselves

� Data Services � Data Fabric system for storing research data � Data Transfer Service for transferring research data � Database hosting services for collaborative research efforts research efforts � Virtual Server procurements � Centralised provision of development servers; no need for researchers to separately buy small servers; � Security Services � Malaysia Identity Federation and Access management (MyIFAM)

� Web Collaboration Services � Content collaboration and development � MYREN Web Collaboration Services MYREN Web Collaboration Services (hosted Twiki, Sakai, Plone) � Cloud Computing Services ○ High Performance Computing On-Demand over Private Cloud

BIRUNI GRID: HPC in Private Cloud BIRUNI GRID: HPC in Private Cloud • UPM has UPM has commisioned commisioned BIRUNI GRID with the hope BIRUNI GRID with the hope of of contributing HPC contributing HPC Clusters for Clusters for A-Grid Grid • Hardware Hardware Racking and Power up were done by Racking and Power up were done by suppliers while the rest of the configuration and suppliers while the rest of the configuration and deployment was done by UPM Grid Team deployment was done by UPM Grid Team • • Excellent Excellent learning opportunities for the Excellent learning opportunities for the Excellent learning opportunities for the staff learning opportunities for the staff staff staff • Many Many lesson learned; some are good and some are lesson learned; some are good and some are not so good but in the end the staff learned by doing not so good but in the end the staff learned by doing and get their training the hard way. and get their training the hard way. • UPM UPM get help from Academia get help from Academia Sinica Sinica Grid Computing Grid Computing and other international partners and other international partners

BIRUNI BIRUNI GRID GRID • BIRUNI GRID consists of three blade BIRUNI GRID consists of three blade-based clusters: based clusters: – Khaldun Khaldun Sandbox Cluster ( Sandbox Cluster (10 10 worker nodes with GB) worker nodes with GB) – Razi Razi Cluster ( Cluster (28 28 worker nodes with GB) worker nodes with GB) – Haitham Haitham Cluster Cluster (8 8 worker nodes with worker nodes with Infiniband Infiniband) • • Khaldun Khaldun Sandbox Cluster is used for Experimental Grid Khaldun Sandbox Cluster is used for Experimental Grid Khaldun Sandbox Cluster is used for Experimental Grid Sandbox Cluster is used for Experimental Grid (Development, and Learning purposes) while (Development, and Learning purposes) while Razi Razi and and Haitham Haitham Clusters are designated as Production Grid. Clusters are designated as Production Grid. • At any time, the At any time, the Haitham Haitham Cluster and Cluster and Khaldun Khaldun Sandbox Sandbox Cluster worker nodes can support Cluster worker nodes can support Razi Razi Cluster worker Cluster worker nodes on nodes on demand demand • High Performance Computing facilities for Computational High Performance Computing facilities for Computational sciences and Open sciences and Open-Source Source 3D Rendering Farm for D Rendering Farm for animation and screen rendering animation and screen rendering
