e-Infrastructure Updates in Japan Satoshi Sekiguchi Director Grid

“e-Infrastructure Updates in Japan” Satoshi Sekiguchi Director, Grid Technology Research Center, Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan Also, a Sub-leader of NAREGI, and a member of Business Grid Executive board

The global dimension of e. Infrastructures has been driven in Europe by a strong cooperation between computation/network experts and e. Science communities e. Science experience will be further applied to e. Government, e. Business, … Application and Service Layer Middleware Layer Resource Layer e. Infrastructures Network layer Mario’s at ROME meeting

Objectives of the AIST Super cluster Provide a common platform to accelerate grid research and development by collaboration with industries（産）, universities（學）, and international （国 際）partners. World Class cluster fully dedicated to the grid R&D “Proof of concept” of grid cluster federation Accommodate computational sciences primary in nanotech application and bio informatics. Nurture grid-enabled applications Demonstrate higher performance even in a large scale cluster with a reasonable TCO.

Summary 126 JPY = 1 EURO Grid projects are successfully underway NAREGI – MEXT (1, 950 M JPY/FY’ 04) Business Grid – METI (2, 600 M JPY/FY’ 04) AIST own project at GTRC More (super-) clusters for Grid (e-Infrastructure) NAREGI Testbeds (7 TFlops + 10 TFlops) AIST Superclusters (14 TFlops+ ) RIKEN cluster (14 TFlops+ ) Unfortunately Japan government tends to have “e. Japan” rather than “e-Science/e-Infrastructure”, sigh No similar program like “e-Science” or “Cyber Infra” projects launched separately
