3/29/11 12:03 PM

EDGI contributed to the Siena Road Map, published at the Cloudscape III conference in Brussels. Etienne Urbah was one of the Road Map editors, Ad Emmen presented EDGI.

EDGI also contributed a use case to the Road Map. The Road Map can be downloaded from the http://www.sienainitiative.eu/ website.

EDGI presentation and demonstration at EGI User Forum in Vilnius
3/10/11 10:48 AM

From 11 to 15 April 2011, the EGI User Forum will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania. This conference will showcase the diversity of the user community within the European Grid Infrastructure through daily plenaries, oral presentations, poster sessions and co-located workshops. The event aims to help all members of the EGI community, from end-users to application developers, operations staff and technology providers, to share their knowledge and build collaborations. On April 12th, there will be a demonstration of "Utilising Desktop Grid resources through gLite". On April 14th, EDGI assistant project coordinator Jozsef Kovacs will offer an oral presentation on "The EDGI infrastructure and its usage for the European Grid user communities". Please also note that there will be an IDGF workshop on April 14th on "Desktop Grids for scientific applications", offered by Robert Lovas and Ad Emmen. More information about the workshop is available at http://desktopgridfederation.org.

Register now for the 6th IDGF Tutorial taking place March 21 at ISGC 2011 in Taipei
3/9/11 3:39 PM

The main goal of the sixth IDGF tutorial is to provide an introduction into Desktop Grid computing, deployment of Desktop Grids, application development for the infrastructure, and connecting Desktop Grids to other scientific working environments, such as the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) or EUAsiaGrid. The detailed programme can be found at http://desktopgridfederation.org/programme6

You are welcome to register for this tutorial at http://event.twgrid.org/isgc2011/registration.html

EDGI EDGI

EDGI will develop middleware that consolidates the results achieved in the EDGeS project concerning the extension of Service Grids with Desktop Grids (DGs) in order to support European Grid Initiative (EGI) and National Grid Initiative user communities that are heavy users of Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCIs) and require an extremely large number of CPUs and cores. EDGI will go beyond existing DCIs that are typically cluster Grids and supercomputer Grids, and will extend them with public and institutional Desktop Grids and Clouds. EDGI will integrate software components of ARC, gLite, Unicore, BOINC, XWHEP, 3G Bridge, and Cloud middleware such as OpenNebula and Eucalyptus into SG-DG-Cloud platforms for service provision and as a result EDGI will extend ARC, gLite and Unicore Grids with volunteer and institutional DG systems.

EDGI will develop DG-Cloud bridge middleware with the goal to get instantly available additional resources for DG systems if the application has some QoS requirements that could not be satisfied by the available resources of the DG system. EDGI will improve Desktop Grid middleware (BOINC and XtremWebHEP-E) in order to handle QoS requirements and the SG-DG bridge middleware in order to support data-intensive applications. EDGI will deploy a production infrastructure that integrates ARC-, gLite- and Unicore-based Grids with Desktop Grids based on the bridge middleware developed in EDGI.

The production EDGI infrastructure will also enable the dynamic, on-demand extensions of the connected Desktop Grids with Cloud resources. As such EDGI users can benefit of the versatile and flexible eco-system provided by EDGI. The EDGI production infrastructure will be offered as service for EGI and NGI user communities. It will also serve as a demonstration for NGIs to extend their eco-system with Desktop Grids and Clouds. EDGI will establish a European Desktop Grid federation to coordinate DG-related activities in Europe both for solving technical issues as well as to attract volunteer DG resource donors by disseminating results of the EDGI and EGI-related projects. The European Grid Federation and EDGI will work in strong collaboration with EGI, EMI, NorduGrid, Unicore Forum and interested NGIs.
