DIRAC Virtual Research Environment pilot for EGI

Description
This session is to be dedicated to report on activities related to the "DIRAC 4 EGI pilot service installation".
DIRAC pilot for EGI is a prototype for a full scale DIRAC installation of an open Virtual Research Environment (VRE) service for any interested research community (or individual researchers) requiring access to distributed e-Infrastructure (grid, cloud or others). The pilot, operating since January 2014, with an increasing number of selected communities, will be opened to a wider target audience after this meeting.
At least 3 different topics should be covered in the reports:
- Setup of the service (Hosting, Operation,...)
- its integration in EGI production structure (Accounting, Monitoring, ...)
- experience from the communities

An instance of DIRAC, hosted by CYFRONET and the Polish NGI, has been set up early 2014 as a pilot for many user communties within EGI. From an operational point of view, this pilot instance allows to implement and test at a large scale a collaborative operations model involving NGIs, user communities and DIRAC developers, which is largely based on previous experiences of multi-disciplinary...

DIRAC 4 EGI pilot service was proposed at the end of 2013 to provide open access to the european distributed e-Infrastructure. This presentation will report on the experience from the point of DIRAC:
- what are the requirements of the different communities joining?
- how we have approach the different use cases
- what the usage of the service has been: number of users, number of executed...

The HADDOCK web portal is a widely used scientific portal for the modelling of biomolecular interactions. It makes uses of the EGI grid infrastructure for job submission. Users interact through a user-friendly web interface. Each user submission translates into several hundreds individual grid jobs that are handled by the complex workflow beyond the portal. To date HADDOCK counts over 3600...

Despite the knowledge of the turbulence as one of the factors inducing jet atomization, improving the mixing of air and fuel, and therefore combustion, there are still many unresolved questions about the interaction between the turbulence and cavitation, and its effects on the development of Diesel jet.
This abstract shows the results of a study using grid computing to model the internal flow...

biomed has been the most active life-science EGI VO for the last 3 years, representing 77% of the normalised CPU time consumed for life sciences on the infrastructure. For various reasons, workload management was never centrally coordinated in the VO, which resulted in two issues: (i) central monitoring is lacking; (ii) computing resources are not efficiently exploited. To address these...

DIRAC project has been involved in some use cases in the EGI Fedcloud for testing purposes. It has demonstrated the ability to aggregate different IaaS providers in an interoperable and transparent manner to support SaaS in smart science. Recently, DIRAC for EGI pilot portal is deploying an open access to eInfrastructures for several use cases. In addition to traditional EGI Grid resources...

Nowadays, the execution of a huge number of concurrent applications is a common problem for several small and medium users communities (Bioinformatics, Biomedicine, astrophysics, etc). Moreover, the available computational technologies able to exploit both grid and cloud infrastructures, require a step forward in terms of abstraction and flexibility of the tools used to manage application...

DIRAC 4 EGI pilot initiative is intended to prove the feasibility of a pan european DIRAC installation providing open access to e-Infrastructure to any interested community or individual.
After collecting the feedback from the initial providers and users of the service, its long term operation and strategy for the incorporation of new communities will be discussed.
The vision of the...
