Background
1998 - APBioNet project created a distributed database mirror which was to evolve into the basis for a DataGrid
Progress was slow – until Oct 2001, the first BioGRID meeting was organised in Singapore by BIC-NUS and APBioNet
In Dec 2001, Cray Inc was involved inpartnering us in setting up a SuperBioGRID'02 symposium
Momentum was set and first GRID was created before Christmas 2001!

Software Components
Currently Globus 1.1.3/1.1.4 is the building block to the BioGRID, on the following OS platforms:– Cray Unicos SV1– SGI IRIX 6.5– Sun Solaris 7– Linux 2.4.x (Redhat 7.2 and Slackware 8)
Various scheduling systems are studied and deployed, including Nimrod/G from Monash University, LSF and Sun GridEngine.

Collaboration and Projects
The BioGRID is being expanded to collaborate with GRID resources of Monash University in their VLAB project.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR COLLABORATION PARTNERS TO EXCHANGE RESOURCES.

Operations and Support
We run our own CA:– Signing and issuance of both host and
user certificates.– Shorter turn-around time for
APBioGRID participants
Support email:– [email protected]: cert requests– [email protected]:
administrative requests/support

In the Pipeline
Globus self-installer with customisations for APBioGRID:–Well tested installation scripts for a
defined set of OS platforms– Automate configuration steps with
BioGRID specifics– No need to deal with “Globus
nightmare” - even a biologist can do it.
