RDIG coordinator Viacheslav Ilyin:

“New app licati on areas, like nanotechnologies, are center of attention for the RDIG consortium.”

“Our participation at events like the 11th International Economical Forum, held in St Petersburg in June 2007, has given us unique chances to establish deep contacts with business and at a governmentalll level l”.”

“RDIG,,pyp as a prototype of the Russian national grid initiative, has entered a new stage of grid deployment as Russia also enters the nanotechnology world.”

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • Practical Results (one of the examples) – The created distributed computing environment has allowed to lead large-scale calculations in the field of low-temperature chemical reactions under strong electromagnetic influence. In calculations participated up to 400 processors in five geographically distributed zones (Chernogolovka, Moscow – 2 site, Protvino, Kharkov), . Calculation of this task on single PC (Pentium-IV, 3.2 GGz) requires about 5000 hours of processor time, but on distributed computing environment in Grid this calculation has borrowed about 16 hours.

EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 T.Strizh(RDIG) Russian Federation. NA2 F-2-F Meeting, Prague, 27 Nov., 2007 69 Current status of UNGI and plans

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • For the time being UNGI is mainly grounded on the activity of Ukrainian Academic Grid (UAG) which joins 8 Academic Institutes and Kiev National University with Resource Operating Centre at Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine). • Because of some historical reasons it is operating under NorduGrid middleware today which is planned to be replaced for gLite in another two months. • A compatibility and interoperability of various middlewares and known practical ways (GridWay) are under investigation now. • Three sites are also working under AliEn middleware pledging their resources to ALICE experiment at CERN. Kiev Technical University (with 336 CPU) will be integrated to AliEn-grid until the end of this year. One site at Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology is working for the CMS Collaboration at CERN . • Total resource will be about 1000 CPU and 80 Terabytes of storage at the end of 2007. • At the end of current year 6 Institutes of National Academy of Science of Ukraine and 5 Institutions of Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine are planning to join UNGI. • The VOs dealing with medical and biological tasks are planned for the active work next year. • Collaboration of Institute of Space Research of National Academy of Sciences with international organization GEOSS organizing the satellite monitoring of geo and environment recourses with the grid technologies will be realized. • The Web-portal of UNGI will be created in the first half of 2008.

EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 T.Strizh(RDIG) Russian Federation. NA2 F-2-F Meeting, Prague, 27 Nov., 2007 71 Conclusion(1)

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • Participation of Russian scientific institutions in Europppjean projects EGEE/EGEE-II give solid basement to the organization of Russian National Grid Programme. • Major Russian financing agencies, as Federal Agency on Science and Innovations, Russian Agency on Atomic Energy, Russian Academy of Science, as well independent scientific centres as Russian Research Center "Kurchatov Institute", Moscow State University and Joint Institute for Nuclear Research actively participate in this initiative addressed to Russian Government and Parliament.

EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 T.Strizh(RDIG) Russian Federation. NA2 F-2-F Meeting, Prague, 27 Nov., 2007 72 Conclusions(2)

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • For the realization of the Nanotechnology Program, a new-generation infrastructure should be established on the basis of Grid technologies and Service Oriented Architecture principles. • This is planned to be realized within the NanoGrid project, where the key roles are played by the ƒ Kurchatov Institute, ƒ Moscow State University, and ƒ JINR. • The NanoGrid system of distributed computing and data processing is expected to provide the Program Directorate and geographically distributed research and engineering teams participating in the Federal Program "Nanotechnology" with a possibility of efficient remote use of the information and telecommunication infrastructure for solving the Program tasks.

EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 T.Strizh(RDIG) Russian Federation. NA2 F-2-F Meeting, Prague, 27 Nov., 2007 73 Conclusion(3)

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE Model of the RDIG contributing to NA2 has changed seriously. JINR coordinate the dissemination efforts of other partners made on unfunded basis. We assume that concrete actions to promote the EGEE infrastructure should be provided by RDIG members from other activities as natural part of th ei r work i n th ese acti viti es. Then, in NA2 RDIG is planning to support two web sites, http://www.egee-rdig.ru as a general site of the Consortium (for JINR’s duty), and http://www.gridclub.ru (supported by KIAM RAS- unfunded) as a general RDIG dissemination sites for Grid- technology. Efforts on promotion of RDIG and EGEE at governmental and other official levels, as well at official levels in science, education and technological spheres in Russia are assumed for SINP MSU. This new model of the NA2 activity in Russia is possible to plan on the next stage of EGEE project, in particular, because of successful massive efforts of almost all RDIG participants at the earliest stage in NA2.
