The New Challenges for PIONIER Infrastructure 10th CEF Networks Workshop 2019 Artur Binczewski Network Technology Division Director EU Policies for e-Infrastructures for research in IT area STRESSES the importance of PRACE, a world-class European High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure for research that provides access to computing resources and services for large-scale scientific and engineering applications; ACKNOWLEDGES the need to develop the new generation of HPC technologies and CALLS for the reinforcement of the interconnected network of data processing facilities GEANT. In this respect, INVITES ESFRI to explore MechanisMs for better coordination of MeMber States’ investMent strategies in e-infrastructures, covering also HPC, distributed coMputing, scientific data and networks; http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-9360-2015-INIT/en/pdf The European Strategy ForuM on Research Infrastructures – Report 2018 http://roadmap2018.esfri.eu/media/1066/esfri-roadmap-2018.pdf Future visions: HPC Europe & EOSC but it is subject for another presentation Source: https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/document.cfm?doc_id=60156 https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/78ae5276-ae8e-11e9-9d01-01aa75ed71a1/language-en Direction: national strategies and e-infrastructure initiatives: Polish RoadMap of Research Infrastructure (PRRI) • Launched in 2009 • Updated in 2013 • The current PRRI contains 53 project proposals in many broadly understood fields of science: • physical and mathematical sciences - 14, • technical sciences – 14 (4 proposals in IT area), • earth sciences and biological sciences - 11, • interdisciplinary issues - 6, • medical and agricultural sciences - 6, • social sciences and humanities - 2 • 30 of them are national initiatives, while 23 are international. https://www.archiwum.nauka.gov.pl/dokumenty-strategiczne/polska-mapa-drogowa-infrastruktury-badawczej.html Polish RoadMap for Research Infrastructure Research use only Promote commercial use PRACE-LAB LOFAR PIONIER-LAB NLPQT ??? 33 projects on PRRI 53 projects on PRRI 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 1 call to PRRI 2 call to update PRRI 3 call to update PRRI 1 call to fund PRRI 2 call to fund PRRI 3 call to fund PRRI LOFAR infrastructure (Low-Frequency Array for radio astronoMy) 4 project partners (POLFARO consortiuM) • University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn • Jagiellonian University in Kraków • Space Research Centre • Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center • Real tiMe radio interferoMetric array of of many low-cost antennas: – Low Band Antenna (LBA) operates between 10 and 90 MHz – High Band Antenna (HBA) operates between 110 and 250 MHz • Precursor of next generation telescope – Square Kilometer Array PIONIER services for LOFAR/POLFAO λ 10 Gb/s POLFAR 10 GE BAŁDY 10 Gb/s PIONIER & POZMAN Surfnet & POZNAŃ PIONIER & OLMAN LOFAR Olsztyn ASTRON POLFAR Groningen 10GE NL SWITCH PIONIER LTA PIONIER & CYFRONET 2 PB data LTA for coMMunity located in PSNC KRAKÓW POLFAR POLFAR BORÓWIEC ŁAZY Preparation for LOFAR 2.0 Main assumptions: 1. Each station will be generate 30 Gbit/s traffic (currently it is 3 Gbit/s) – easy covered by PIONIER (migration to 100G link to each station and to Amsterdam) 1. Storage: simple calculation - 10 x more than currently: 20 Pbytes/annualy – expensive part of project 2.
