Description

The NorduGrid Conference

Evolution of resource connectors - outlook beyond 2020

The Annual NorduGrid Conference 2019 takes place in Lund, Sweden, on June 11-14. It starts with the ARC Technical Workshop on June 11-13, and ends with the plenary section on June 13-14. This year's conference addresses the following topics: the new ARC6 release, transition from CREAM resource manager to ARC resource connector, next generation resource managers, research data challenge, and computing paradigm change.

The NorduGrid Conference is a long running tradition and the major annual gathering of the scientific community around the ARC middleware, bringing together experts from data intensive sciences and distributed computing, including resource providers, technology developers and researchers from academia and industry.

 

Participants are kindly asked to register and indicate whether they will attend both the plenary conference (Thursday-Friday) and the technical workshop (Tuesday-Thursday), or either of the events.

      EuroHPC: the next big thing in scientific computing in Europe 45m K404

      The EuroHPC initiative is a joint effort by the European Commission and 28 countries to establish a leadership-class ecosystem in supercomputing to Europe (read more at https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/). One of its first concrete efforts is a call for proposals for hosting the first two (or three) "precursor to exascale" supercomputers. Finland, together with 8 other countries from the Nordics and central Europe, has submitted an expression of interest to collaboratively host one of these systems in Kajaani, northern Finland. This system, LUMI, will be the one of the most powerful and advanced computing systems on the planet at the time of its installation. The vast consortium of countries with established tradition in scientific computing and strong national computing centers will be a key asset for the successful infrastructure. In this talk we will discuss the goals and initiatives of the EuroHPC framework, as well as the LUMI infrastructure and its great value and potential for the research community.

      The talk describes the EOSC-Nordic project, coordinated by NeIC, which will have its official start-up in Sep, 2019. The 6 mill EUR EC-granted EOSC-Nordic project aims to facilitate the coordination of EOSC relevant initiatives within the Nordic and Baltic countries and exploit synergies to achieve greater harmonisation at policy and service provisioning across these countries, in compliance with EOSC agreed standards and practices. The project brings together a strong consortium of 24 complementary partners including e-Infrastructure providers, research performing organisations and expert networks, with national mandates and experience with regards to the provision of research data services, and a unique capacity to realise the outcomes of the EOSC design as outlined by the EOSC Implementation Roadmap. The presentation will provide insight in partnerships, activities and focus areas of EOSC-Nordic in order to invite for even further collaboration and integration in on-going activities.

      For the past 10 years, CSCS has been running compute capability in the WLCG Tier-2 for ATLAS, CMS and LHCb on standard commodity hardware (a cluster named Phoenix). Three years ago, CSCS began providing this service on the flagship High Performance Computing (HPC) system, Piz Daint (a Cray XC40/50 system). Piz Daint is a world-class HPC system with over 1800 dual-processor multicore nodes and more than 5700 hybrid compute nodes with GPU accelerators. Piz Daint currently holds the 5th position on the Top500 List and is the most powerful HPC system in Europe. In preparation for future challenges that the HL-LHC will impose on the computing sites, CSCS is in the process of decommissioning the Phoenix cluster and fully consolidating the Tier-2 compute load onto Piz Daint. In this presentation, the critical milestones to achieve on the road to a successful migration to Piz Daint will be explained.
