The EUMEDGRID project

EUMEDGRID aims to provide in the Mediterranean Region a pilot grid infrastructure for Research, which will be interoperable and compatible with EGEE and with analogous initiatives in the Balkans, North Europe, Latin America and Far-East Asia. It is built upon and exploiting the infrastructure provided by the Gigabit Pan-European Research & Education Network (GEANT) and the Mediterranean Research and Education Networking (EUMEDCONNECT) initiative in the region.

EUMEDGRID purposes:

Establish a human network in the eScience area Raise grid awareness and competences among the researchers operating in the Mediterranean area Foster collaboration with European and worldwide projects and to promote scientific and industrial development in the area. Stimulate the formation of National Grid Initiatives (NGI) in the Mediterranean Countries

WP2: Requirements Capture and Analysis

A questionnaire to gather information from partners has been distributed to the countries and results were published in a technical document: Deliverable 2.1 On the basis of what pointed out by the questionnaire and stated in D2.1, WP2 wrote a document (Deliverable 2.2) with the aim to present a technological roadmap for the implementation of technical and support initiatives

Deliverable Contents

Deliverable 2.2 presents an overview of the EGEE middleware stacks (LCG 2.7 and gLite 3.0) adopted by EUMEDGRID, information on relevant Grid resource (applications, networking, computing and storage) planning. Moreover it describes the basic site infrastructure (operating system, middleware installation, monitoring and testing) and their deployment strategy (including the rollout of pilot sites into EGEE)

Certification Authorities

INFN Certification Authority has accepted to act as a “catch-all” CA for the first months of the Project to ease and speed up the start-up of users. 4 out of 7 needed Registration Authorities have already been setup at:

  • CNRST, Morocco (Redouane Merrouch)
  • Research and Academic Network, Cyprus (Christos

Koutsioupis)

  • HIAST, Syria (Maher Suleiman)
  • RicerkaNet, Malta (Charles Mifsud, Simon Portelli )

WISDOM (Wide In Silico Docking on Malaria)

Started testing WISDOM application within the EUMEDGRID Virtual Organization WISDOM studies in the interaction of a set of substances with the malaria plasmodium protein (and other diseases like recently the avian flu), to look for new drugs A huge database of chemical compounds needed by the program has been installed in Malta (almost 1 Tb, more then 2200 molecules) Later this week it will start the first tests

Conclusions and Outlook

The progress made by EUMEDGRID since its beginning is very good and promising. The kernel of the pilot infrastructure is already set up and will grow rapidly. Some applications have already been defined and many more will come thanks to the survey done inside WP2. The progress made by EUMEDGRID since its beginning is very good However, many challenges are still in front of us:

  • stimulate creation of NGIs (National Grid Infrastructure)

in each partner country

  • setting up of National Certification Authorities
  • porting of applications
