Report on integration and implementation Executive Summary In this document we compile the integration and development experiences around the ViSH portal from the scientific infrastructure provider’s point of view and describe some of the scientific resources and excursions that have been created within it. All the resources scheduled in the DoW have been integrated using the friendly, intuitive and clear process of the portal itself. At this moment, some resources are being adapted in order to improve the usability and user experience. While for some resources and infrastructures the integration process is very easy, we also encountered problems at implementation level for some highly complex infrastructures. A close cooperation within the project team has been working on solving any such issues and come up with alternative solutions for an optimum and easy integration of scientific infrastructures in the ViSH portal. GLOBAL excursion – 283686 Page 6 of 27 GLOBAL excursion D3.2. Report on integration and implementation 1. Introduction This document compiles the integration activities deployed by the scientific infrastucture providers in close cooperation wit the ViSH development team. It also presents new tools implemented in the ViSH portal in order to allow virtual access to the scientific infrastructures that the partners in the consortium are providing. In addition, some external resources, meaning that they do not come from the core partners of this project, have also been uploaded to the ViSH and some of them will be shortly presented here as well. We encourage the reader to check deliverable 3.1. “Report on Design and Development of e-infrastructures in education” for further information about initial technical analysis and design decisions. 2. E-Infrastructure integrated resources 2.1. Live webcam from Do ñana Doñana Biological Station (EBD) is a research institute of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) located in Seville. It aims to preserve and promote quality research in the Doñana Biological Reserve (RBD), declared a World Heritage Site in 1994 and considered one of the most important natural areas in the world. In this same year, the RBD was included among the great European Union Scientific Spaces. The resources from Doñana Biological Station integrated in the ViSH include field notebooks. Since the creation of the EBD, and even before, many field observers, initially volunteers and professionals have created them including the observations made in the park and its area of influence. These diaries and field notes are a set sequenced and more or less systematic observations and comments made by qualified technicians during their tours of Doñana. They contain notes on a large number of animal species, usually vertebrates (especially birds), but also on vegetation, water conditions in the marshes or lagoons. GLOBAL excursion – 283686 Page 7 of 27 GLOBAL excursion D3.2. Report on integration and implementation Figure 1: Capture of one of the real-time videocameras used in the excursions We have already integrated some elements that compose the singular Scientific and Technological Infrastructure (ICTS). This unique network include modern communications infrastructure and scientific equipment from the Reserve that automate and standardize the monitoring of natural processes and allowing researches that could not be done in other situations. The ICTS provide access and hosts these facilities to the Spanish scientific community and the rest of EU countries to develop research activities. Some of the contents are only accessible with authentication, so data bases, servers and certificates should be shared in order to allow users of the virtual excursions to access the whole resources. We are dealing with the authentication of external servers and users to the existing materials in order to complete the integration of the vast amount of resources. At this moment, it is required to do scrolling as it should be required to redesign the web tools from Doñana in order to fit properly in the frame from VISH, with lower size.

In this paper, we describe the experience of setting up a computational infrastructure based on BOINC middleware and running a volunteer computing project on its basis. We characterize the first series of computational experiments and review the project's development in its first six months. The gathered experience shows that BOINC-based Desktop Grids allow to to efficiently aid drug discovery at its early stages. Keywords: Desktop Grid · Distributed computing · Volunteer comput- ing · BOINC · Virtual drug screening · Molecular docking · SARS-CoV-2 1 Introduction Among the variety of high-performance computing (HPC) systems, Desktop Grids hold a special place due to their enormous potential and, at the same time, high availability.

However, that people are willing to change their current practice and say that they want to participate in Grid efforts does not mean that they are actually going to do that. Need to generate trust in the organisation that manages the Grid. People want to donate computing time for scientific applications, especially medical applications. They do not like to donate computing time to commercial or defense applications. People want feedback on the application they are running. No clear technical barriers perceived by the respondents: so this does not need much attention. Overall the respondents were rather positive about donating computing time for a Grid or about running applications on a Grid.

With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with.” Terry Pratchett Abstract Volunteer computing offers researchers and developers the possibility to distribute their huge computational jobs to the computers of volunteers. So, most of the overall cost for computational power and maintenance is spread across the volunteers. This makes it possible to gain computing resources that otherwise only expensive grids, clusters, or supercomputers offer. Most volunteer computing solutions are based on a client-server model. The server manages the distribution of subjobs to the computers of volunteers, the clients, which in turn compute the subjobs and return the results to the server. The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is the most used middleware for volunteer computing. A drawback of any client-server architecture is the server being the single point of control and failure. To get rid of the single point of failure, we developed different distribution algorithms (epoch distribution algorithm, sliding-window distribution algorithm, and extended epoch distribution algorithm) based on unstructured peer-to-peer networks. These algorithms enable the researchers and developers to create volunteer computing networks without any central server.

  • Projects on BONIC?
    PRESENTED BY: SAJIN GEORGE PRIYANKA ANGADI Overview of the talk ● GRID and Cluster computing and what are their differences. ● What is BOINC and how it works ? ● Key features of BOINC. ● Power consumption and Energy consumption. ● Projects that are currently using BOINC ● BONIC interface and Client Software. ● How to setup your own BOINC. GRID COMPUTING A distributed computing environment that uses its own resources to handle computational tasks. Grid VS Cluster Loosely coupled Tightly coupled systems (Decentralization) Single system image Diversity and Dynamism Centralized Job Distributed Job management & scheduling Management & scheduling system Volunteer computing. Volunteer computing is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage. ● Volunteers are typically members of the general public who own Internet-connected PCs. Organizations such as schools and businesses may also volunteer the use of their computers. ● Projects are typically academic (university-based) and do scientific research. But there are exceptions; for example, GIMPS and distributed.net (two major projects) are not academic www.bonic.com What is B.O.I.N.C ? is a massive open-source grid computing tool by the university of berkeley. How BOINC works ? How the software works CREDIT The project's server keeps track of how much work your computer has done; this is called credit. To ensure that credit is granted fairly, most BOINC projects work as follows: ● Each task may be sent to two computers. ● When a computer reports a result, it claims a certain amount of credit, based on how much CPU time was used.
