Forum for National R&D Infrastructure (TELEM) appointed Yehuda Zisapel on Jan 2007 to examine Grid infrastructure for Israel.

Members: David Horn (TAU), Julian Satran (IBM), Doron Havatzelet (MOD), Assaf Maron (BMC), Eliezer Rabinovici (HUJI), Yossi Matias (TAU, Google), Shuki Glaitman (AXC), co-ordinator: Avi Shavit.

Final report submitted on July 2007.

National Research Infrastructure approved the recommendations to establish the ISRAGRID.


Gain knowledge and train professional for the industry.

Increase compute resources and improve their utilization for the benefit of the community

Establish inter-organizational Grid in Israel

Supply infrastructure for the Israeli academia and hi-tech


The network would be used for R&D and will be based on the existing NREN.

Users will finance the establishment and operation of the GRID operation.

All R&D entities will be invited to participate.

The network will be available with secure access.

Each partner will finance his own resources (to be shared) and connectivity to the NREN.


Virtual Organization management

Information services

Certificate Authority (EUGridPMA, IGTF)

Monitoring

CERT

Co-Ordination with grid projects and bodies

Network infrastructure



ISRAGRID administration will be located in IUCC (local NREN)

Skilled personnel will be hired to provide the needed services for all the users

ISRAGRID is the Israeli official grid representative in international organizations.

Establish and maintain VOs for all the users in Israel.

Helping users to establish new sites and share resources

Maintain the core services and grid related security.

Each site in the ISRAGRID will contribute some resources for the benefit of all.


Accessibility to vast amount of resources that were not accessible otherwise.

Lowering processing cost by sharing resources

Improve resources utilization by balancing between computation demands and (idle) resource availability.

Parallel process in order to shorten the computing time.

Establish user communities (VO) in Israel




IGT


Academic teaching – The Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) Encourage Grid training in all institutes that acquire degrees

in computer science or engineering have Grid research. Each University that will give 3 weekly hours course will get

additional 100K NIS The training will be done thru “Gilda” node that will be

maintained by the administration.

Academic research – National Science Fund (NSF) Allocate 3-5 grants in domains related to grid computing

(incl. parallel processing, game theory, queuing theory, internet etc.) as long as they have clear association with the field.

The grants application should be submitted according to the regular procedures of NSF and pass the needed academic committees.

• Permanent, common Grid infrastructure• Ensure the long-term sustainability of the European e-

Infrastructure independent of short project funding cycles• Coordinate the integration and interaction between

National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs)• Operate the production Grid infrastructure on a European

level for a wide range of R&D and scientific disciplines


Formation of National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) which unite efforts within each country, providing a single point of contact for coordinated efforts and reducing the management and organisational overhead of international cooperation around Grid computing.

These national bodies will be complemented by a second structure, European Grid Initiative (EGI) coordinating issues on a European scale, including operations management, policy, standards and middleware testing.

Such a structure addresses the key issue of long-term sustainability of the European Grid Infrastructure, ensuring the availability of Grid services to researchers from all backgrounds and disciplines as we move further into the 21st century.
