Compute services in EGI - Overview and use cases

• Enol Fernandez (EGI.eu)

Description

Description
This session provides an overview of the baseline computing services of EGI that deliver a distributed computing infrastructure to perform any kind of data analytics for research and innovation.

The EGI service portfolio provides you various computing solutions to match your needs: Virtual Machine based computing for long-running services and for data analytics platforms; container orchestration powered by Kubernetes and Docker; facilities for massively parallel workloads. During this session we will introduce these various services, will compare them to advise You on the most suitable choice for certain problems, and will feature a few research communities to report on their experience in using these services in real-life research workflows.

The session is of introductory level aiming to serve new communities who want to engage with and use EGI compute services.

Main target audience
Scientists, representatives of scientific communities

EO data is a unique source of global measurements over decades. When calibrated and combined with other sources, it empowers validation & interpolation models. The NextGEOSS DataHub and Platform users are Earth sciences practitioners who create, share and reuse software assets & data products in a collaborative process.
Terradue supports these partners by giving them access to an application...

180. AiiDAlab - an ecosystem for developing, executing, and sharing scientific workflows

03/11/2020, 10:25

In my talk, I am going to present AiiDAlab, which is a web platform that enables computational scientists to package scientific workflows and computational environments and share them with their collaborators and peers for further use. I will start by motivating the creation of the service. Further, I am going to describe the interface and show a quick demonstration of how AiiDAlab works....

181. Simulation of high power laser experiments by using high performance computer

Jian Fuh Ong (ELI-NP)

03/11/2020, 10:35

In this talk I will briefly introduce the the high-power laser system available in ELI-NP and the necessity to perform numerical simulation for experiments with these lasers. The simulation method involved requires a massive parallelization. The idea how it is done will be introduced. A short example of parallelization of using Massage Passing Interface (MPI) will be shown.
