NSF Renews PRAGMA for Five Year

Thanks to the work of all of us

And what is expected of PRAGMA?

Validate the investments in cyberinfrastructure

One (not to be lost in) translation:

Have scientist use the grid to do science!

Savannah Burn:How tightly linked are burning, vegetation, and

rainfall? • PRAGMA Testbed ran CSIRO

climate model called CCAM in combination with Nimrod/G tool set.

• Executed on a maximum of 90 processors (out of a maximum 159) across 7 PRAGMA grid resources located in Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the U.S.

• David Abramson, Amanda Lynch

Validation of Cyberinfrastructure Investmentsby the Savannah Burn experiment

• Science Resulted: The hypothesis that burning the Savanna can affect the strength and timing of the monsoon was confirmed.

• Testbed Exercised: The testbed operated for 170 days, and delivered over 1.25 million processor hours! Importantly, we were able to do a live upgrade of a number of the cyberinfrastructure components during the period.

• Middleware Improved: Improved Nimrod's ability to schedule computations by incorporating both data location and transport delays.

– Allowing it to make a better choice of resources, improving the performance of the system as well as its fault tolerance.

– We also enhanced Nimrod's ability to handle faults in the Grid testbed.

• Policy Impacted: The experiment shipped some 1.6TB of data across national and international networks. This exposed some interesting features of Australia’s network charging policy, and will lead to lasting improvements.

PRAGMA Continues to Experiment• Expand our impact to new application areas

– GEO and Geosciences*; Metagenomics*

• Increase emphasis on data in our routine use laboratory – Establish data grid testbed* (AIST, SDSC, Tsukuba, NCHC)– GEO and Geosciences and others

• Harness the potential of lambda grids– Telescience and Tile Display Walls* with demo at SC06

• Work with productions grids to achieve interoperations– Grid Interoperations Now (GIN)*

• Broaden involvement of middleware developments from outside the Pacific Rim– U Amsterdam; UK National e-science Center, U Zurich

• Build the community– Develop federated approach to training and to establishing research

directions*– Understand organizational aspects of how virtual organizations work*

* We’ll already be seeing results of some of these activities

Investing in the Future of PRAGMA Challenges and Opportunities

• Build the community – Grow shared resources; Set research directions; Engage new

applications; Create new generation of researchers and developers;

• Grow future leadership– What leadership opportunities or challenges can we create?

• Focus on science we can enable– Make routine use of testbed a reality

• Specific Challenges and Opportunities– Working Groups

• What other activities should be highlighted in the Annual Report?• What science accomplishment will you enable?• What type of “PRAGMA Institute” would benefit your members?

– HPDC – an opportunity to focus on a topic and engage others – similar to CCGrid activities

– How do we engage more students and postdocs?
