The successful demonstration of single-pass free electron lasers (FEL) around the year 2000 triggered a number of research centres in Europe, the United States and Asia to initiate the construction of new research infrastructures. These projects are based on strong science cases put forward by interested research communities. The new FEL sources combine the wide and continuously tunable wavelength range of synchrotron radiation with ultra-short pulses and coherence of lasers, but at much higher peak and average power, offering completely new research opportunities in different areas of science for a large research community. Several European countries are supporting the construction of national FEL facilities which are now combining their forces and coordinating their activities to build and operate a distributed European facility, the IRUVX-FEL. This facility will be able to offer a suite of complementary sources and instrumentation that is unsurpassed in the world. 2008-04-01 Preparatory phase of the IRUVX-FEL consortium 2008-08-19 Ana Bela Dias 7770000 2011-03-31 GMV S.A.

The CSTRC will be designed primarily to serve the needs of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean region. The LinkSCEEM Support Action aims to ensure that in its planning and early development phases the CSTRC develops strong anchors in both the European ICT infrastructure and the Eastern Mediterranean scientific community, thereby helping to build scientific and technological bridges between Europe and the Middle East and to narrow the digital gap between the Eastern Mediterranean and the Western World. This will be achieved through the action of a consortium of European and US leaders in the fields of HPC and computational science and of prominent Eastern Mediterranean research institutions. The consortium will conduct studies, prospective work and outreach activities relevant to the integration of CSTRC in the EU HPC landscape and to the attainment of its regional dimension. 2008-08-20 Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, Xeon 52xx 2.6 GHz, GigEthernet 3112 33198.8 17820.3 Beowulf - Cluster Beowulf 2005-10-12 3200.0 2.5 70.0 Cluster 28.0 179.2 P4 University of Bremen - Fachbereich Geowissenschaften 91 HP - SuperDome 819.2 128.0 Itanium2 128.0 2009-04-06 8.0 1024.0 SuperDome 1600.0 Policy description of Latvia 2009-01-15 13600 2.3 TNO xSeries x3650 Cluster Xeon dual core 2.66 GHz, GigEthernet 42416 18600 3976 Dell - Cluster 2666 & 3000 Xeon 10000.0 1.0 Cluster 1942.4 180.0 2008-04-15 Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, Xeon E54xx 2 GHz, GigEthernet 5712 45696 24290.9 Compaq - AlphaServer 1000.0 38400.0 2560.0 2008-12-16 5120.0 AlphaServer 5629.0 15.0 BladeCenter HS21 Cluster, Xeon QC 2.66 GHz, GigEthernet 40111.7 19050.6 3760 61 UTFSM Network Company Science FamilyName (Short) Short Family Name Barcelona Supercomputing Center Maui High-Performance Computing Center (MHPCC) 316 e-SciDR 2007-08-08 e-SciDR is a study led by the Digital Archiving Consultancy on behalf of the European Commission to drive forward the development and use of digital repositories in the EU in all areas of science, from the humanities to the earth sciences.

Such an infrastructure would endow the social science community with the most essential information required for a recurrent audit of the most important aspects of the electoral process in the European Union. Since elections are crucial instruments of popular control, elite accountability, and popular representation, auditing these processes is seen as good practice in a number of democracies. Such audits empirically assess the nature of electoral processes and detect challenges and threats to the quality of these processes. This infrastructure project focuses on data which, if not collected at the time of an election, will either be lost or will be recorded in a manner incompatible with the way in which other relevant data have been recorded, making the complete picture unavailable for future research. At the EU supra-national level, democratic rules and procedures are not yet well established and the institutions of multi-level governance are repeatedly renegotiated and adapted. Auditing the quality of the electoral process at the EU-level is therefore essential. 3140000 2700000 2700000 Saint-Petersburg State University Research Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, Xeon 51xx 3.0GHz, GigEthernet 3200 20605.4 38400 UCL D-Grid Rossend LLurba/Ana Bela Dias Ad Emmen D-Grid 2008-12-22 2006-08-02 D-Grid is the German national eScience Grid. It consists of six Community Grid projects and the D-Grid Integration Project (DGI) started to build a sustainable Grid infrastructure in Germany, to establish methods of e-science in the German scientific community. The D-Grid integration project (DGI) of the D-Grid consortium has to integrate all developments from the different community projects in one common D-Grid platform. This platform will be offered as services to the german scientific community. Germany was one the first European countries to engage in major national grid initiatives. In 1997 the leading German Supercomputer Centres started the UNICORE project to provide in easy-to-use secure remote access to high-end machines. The UNICORE software development was funded by BMBF. The follow-up project UNICORE plus ended in 2002. The UNICORE software is now used by the large German computer centres and in several European projects like EUROGRID. More than 40 groups of German nuclear and particle physicists have chosen FzK as site for the regional grid computing centre GridKa. GridKa provides a powerful grid infrastructure. BMBF announced D-grid, a German e-Science Initiative, in March 2004. D-grid started officially in September 2005. BMBF will provide €100 million for this 5-year initiative, starting with almost €20 million for the first 3-year phase. More than 100 German scientific institutions cooperate in the D-grid consortium. The goal is to design, build and operate a network of distributed, integrated and virtualized high-performance resources and related services which allow processing of large amounts of scientific data and information. The D-grid infrastructure is being tested and applied to a large number of Community Grids in the areas of high-energy physics (HEP-Grid), astrophysics (AstroGrid-D), medicine and life sciences (MediGrid), Earth sciences (C3 Grid, GDI-Grid, WISENT), engineering sciences (InGrid, AeroGrid), scientific libraries (TextGrid), research and education (F&L-Grid), finance (BisGrid, FinGrid) and several industrial grid environments (BauVOGrid, Biz2Grid, PartnerGrid, ProGrid). 2005-09-01 IBM - Cluster Cluster Xeon 224.0 224.0 448.0 1.0 2300.0 2060.8 2009-05-25 University of Lecce e-IRGSP2 Ana Bela Dias 1610000 E-Infrastructures Reflection Group Support Programme 2 The e-Infrastructures Reflection Group Support Programme 2 (e-IRGSP2) project provides full support to the work of the e-Infrastructures Reflection Group (e-IRG). The e-IRG has been instrumental in the development of the policies and documenting the best practices, producing five white papers and a roadmap presenting the consensus of the leading European Grid and networking infrastructure experts. The e-IRGSP2 uses the experiences of the previous support action (e-IRGSP), combined with an in-depth analysis of the evolution of the e-IRG itself, to plan for an optimal support strategy. The activities of the project are based on supporting the process of the e-IRG, modeled as an iterative repetition of four phases: - Studying the state-of-the-art and best practices, - Creating scenarios based on the data (white papers and roadmaps), - Establishing consensus about the actions needed (e-IRG recommendations) and - Engaging with the necessary stakeholders. The support is based on three services: Secretarial support, which is involved in all of the activities. Its role is central in enabling e-IRG to study the state-of-the-art and engage with the necessary stakeholder groups through communication and dissemination support. Support for the policy activities provides rapid analysis of the impact of the developments on relevant levels (policy, technical, usage patterns) of e-IRG goals. The activity takes the input generated in the phase 1 through the next two steps. Liaisons with research and other stakeholders focuses on identifying the key activities, developments and trends emerging in the world surrounding e-IRG. It facilitates dialogue about the interplay between the opportunities, goals and gaps related to the e-IRG vision and the surrounding legal, technical and socioeconomic framework. In phases 4 and 1 this ensures that the next iteration of the process will receive sufficient input. 2008-01-01 2010-12-31 2008-10-18 Policy description of Denmark Researchers can apply at DCSC for resources on the systems at the DCSC centres or for funds to set up new computer systems at one of these centres.

The Argo network is a global array of autonomous instruments measuring temperature and salinity over the upper 2000 m of the ocean. Argo is an indispensable component of the Global Ocean Observing System required to understand and monitor the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate system. Argo must be considered in its ensemble: not only the instruments, but also the logistics necessary for their preparation and deployments, field operations, the associated data streams and data centres. Euro-Argo will develop and progressively consolidate the European component of the global network. Specific European interest also requires a somewhat increased sampling in regional seas. Overall, the Euro-Argo infrastructure should comprise 800 floats in operation at any given time. The maintenance of such an array would require Europe to deploy about 250 floats per year. The main objective of the Euro-Argo preparatory phase will be to undertake the preparatory work needed to ensure that by 2010 Europe will be able to deploy and operate an array of 800 floats and to provide a world-level service to the research (climate) and environment monitoring (e.g. GMES) communities. 4210000 Global ocean observing infrastructure Ana Bela Dias Bull - Cluster 1.0 1249.92 Xeon Cluster 168.0 2009-05-26 168.0 168.0 1860.0 University of Muenster University of Muenster University of Macedonia Compaq BIHARNET In 1998 BIHARNET (Academic Research Network of Bosnia and Herzegovina) was established by the University of Banja Luka, the two Mostar universities, the university of Sarajevo and the university of Tuzla with funding from the government of Slovenia.

Modern society is increasingly vulnerable to external hazards, it is readily apparent that, in developed countries, although the numbers of victims of major earthquakes is tending to drop, the costs of the consequences are constantly rising. It is therefore indispensable for Europe to intensify the research and development in this field. This project aims at improving the capability of prediction of the behaviour of new or existing structures and equipment, and defining reliable and economic ways of retrofit. The strong R&D need in earthquake engineering must be accompanied by an in-depth consideration of research infrastructures. For the design study of a world class seismic testing facility, the work plan should follow a coherent set of objectives: Define the new testing facility, high performances, single-site, answering to modularity, flexibility, operating easiness, complementary to existing research infrastructures in Europe. 414 Beowulf - Cluster 2009-04-16 1.0 PPC970 2200.0 252.0 252.0 Cluster 2217.6 512.0 Beowulf University of Southampton 324 409 Policy description of Poland The State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) determines the national research policy at the governmental level.

The High Performance Computing Strategy Committee (HSC) advises the Research Councils and OST on HPC strategy. HPCx is the national HPC service, which EPSRC has procured on the behalf of all the Research Councils in its role as Managing Agent. The HPCx service that became operational in December 2002 is provided by a consortium of the University of Edinburgh, Daresbury Laboratory of CCLRC, where the system is located, and IBM. The current system is an IBM pSeries p5-575/2560. Besides the central HPCx service provided for all the research councils, individual research councils, universities and research institutes run HPC services for their own research communities. In 2002 £53 million was invested for a 6-year period in the HPCx service for the whole UK research community. EPSRC will fund £48 million (£9 million come from the UK e-science programme), NERC £5 million and BBSRC will contribute on a “pay as you go” basis. Information on the national HPC programme can be found at: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/hpc/ HECToR (High End Computing Terascale Resource) will be the next national high-end computing service. EPSRC signed in February 2007 two contracts, worth £113 million (€ 180 million), to provide this service during a 6-year period. The service is due to start in October 2007 and will have an initial theoretical peak capability of 60 Tflop/s, increasing to approximately 250 Tflop/s peak in October 2009 with a further up-grade planned for October 2011. The initial system is a Cray XT4 with 11,328 cores and a 33.2 TB memory. The peak performance is 59 Tflops. The system will be installed at EPCC. In 2000 the government allocated £120 million to a ‘e-Science’ programme. Part of this programme is a e-Science core programme with a budget of £35 million that includes grid development. In 2003 OST has allo-cated new funding for the e-Science programme for the period until 2006 making the total OST invest-ment in e-Science £213M. The e-Science programme is overseen by a Steering Committee chaired by Professor David Wallace. The UK networking policy is determined by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), a strategic advisory committee working on behalf of the funding bodies for further and higher education in the UK. The UK Research Councils are represented in JISC. JISC promotes innovative use of information technology and funds among others the network infrastructure. The 2006 budget is €77 million. JISC intensified in September 2002 the collaboration with her Dutch pendant SURF to create a London – Amsterdam – Chicago optical network between JISC, SURF and Internet2 to enable research into leading edge networks and applications. In May 2003 HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England) allocated £6.5 million in this UKLight initiative. UKLight is part of an international testbed for optical networking. 26900 2009-01-15 60.9 University of Bristol: 3 IBM clusters ordered with a total of 2544 Opteron cores and 13+ Tflop/s peak performance.

In 1994 5 systems were installed at university sites. These systems have since then been gradually replaced with funding from the Ministry of Education. In 1992 the Ministry of Education provided funds to create the national academic network that became operational in 1993. In 1996 all Czech universities and the Czech Academy of Sciences established the CESNET association which is responsible for the operation of the network and its development. The development of the network is covered by the budgets of the Ministry of Education and the Czech Academy of Sciences and by grants from the Czech Grant Agency. In May 2009 the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports appointed VŠB-Technical University Ostrava as national centre of excellence for HPC. VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava leads the IT4Innovations project in which also participate University of Ostrava, Silesian University, and Institute of Geonics of Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic. €29 million of the project will be used for the acquisition of a new supercomputer. 2009-05-26 18900 10.2 161 Helsinki University 1971000 1971000 GRNET 2008-06-19 GRNET S.A. is a state owned company under the supervision of the General Secretariat of Research and Technology, Ministry of Development. The Greek Research & Technology Network (GRNET) is currently in its third phase (GRNET3) based on a fiber-owned network. Over 7000 km of optical fiber pairs have been acquired via long term IRU leasing. DWDM technology was chosen to light the fibers and establish up to 21x10 Gbps pipes interconnecting subscriber institutions in all major cities in Greece. GRNET3 links have been used to interconnect the 7 GRNET2 network main routers at 2.5 Gbps, in order to sustain the old network for the institutes with low bandwidth requirements. In parallel, institutes with 10 Gbps access requirements are gradually being connected to the central 10 Gbps aggregator in a star topology. In addition, on demand L2 interconnection services (mostly Gigabit Ethernet) between high-demand subscribers will be provided via multi-service SDH platforms and state of the art control plane technology. Currently the connection to GEANT2 is at 2x10 Gbps and it is expected that GRNET joins the European dark fiber cloud in the near future. GRNET connects all Greek universities and major research centres and provides services to the primary and secondary educational institutions. GRNET3 is funded by the Ministry of Economy and Finance via the Ministry of Development. The budget for 2006-2008 is around €30 million. 383 iDataPlex, Xeon QC 3.0 GHz, Infiniband 21104 28224 2352 VIP - Power 575, p6 4.7 GHz, Infiniband IBM - p575 p6 26880.0 9441.0 98240 p575 p6 4.0 6720 Power6 126336.0 4700.0 126336 6720.0 2008-06-20 Slovak Grid The creation of the Slovak Grid was proposed in February 2008 by the Institute of Informatics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences during a meeting in Bratislava. 2008-12-22 Ana Bela Dias Policy description of country Country Descriptions Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c G1, Xeon L5410 2.33 GHz, GigE 4248 21161.7 39591.4 Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, Xeon 54xx 2.66GHz, Infiniband 30041.1 23402 2816 Cray - XD1 Opteron 120.0 528.0 360.0 2006-01-12 XD1 3.0 2200.0 CESCA NEC - SX-8 7632.0 2000.0 2009-03-27 12800.0 128.0 SX-8 2048.0 100.0 GivenName2 Given Name 63 Institute of Engineering Mechanics EGO - European Gravitational Observatory IT Services (E) Dell Dell/Sun 314 Processor type Near East University Beowulf - Cluster 2400, 2600 Beowulf Opteron 384.0 2009-05-27 1945.6 Cluster 384.0 1.0 576.0 Wroclaw University of Technology MediGRID 2005-09-01 2008-08-31 MediGRID The main goal of MediGRID is the Development of a Grid middleware integration platform enabling eScience services for biomedical life science.

It will meet the goals set out in that report to strengthen interdisciplinary and cross-border collaboration and comparative research on a European dimension, enhance the creation of research infrastructure capacity in the less resourced European countries of today and it will increase the opportunity to improve knowledge on social processes. The project holds great potential in terms of advising European and national policy-makers on how to manage the challenges currently faced by the societies of Europe. Building on the existing operational structure of the Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) network of data archives and its associated partners, this proposal for a major RI upgrade will seek to address the major gaps and deficiencies identified by the EROHS report on Research Infrastructures through the facilitation of access to and sharing of existing European and national data.

Firstly, to produce rigorous trend data at a national and European level about people's social, political and moral values in the context of Europe's changing institutions; to remedy longstanding deficiencies in methods of cross-national social measurement, particularly in respect to public attitudes and to bring social indicators into closer focus as a means of monitoring the quality of life across European nations. ESS data and supporting documentation are freely and swiftly available to all and have already attracted over 13,000 registered users. Many books and journal articles arising from the ESS have already appeared; many more are in preparation. Now starting its fourth biennial Round, the ESS is a pioneering example of the principles and practices behind the European Research Area, with funding from both the EC and over 20 Research Councils. We now seek to consolidate the achievements to date and prepare the project for its transition into an upgraded and sustainable Infrastructure. Although always envisaged as a time series, the future of the ESS has remained uncertain owing to a lack of sustained funding. 1960000 144 Beowulf - Cluster 176.0 352.0 2009-05-27 1.0 Cluster Opteron 2400.0 844.7999999999999 176.0 Beowulf University of Namur LUFAC Computacion SA de CV CSIC Number Blue Gene/P Solution 46830 933887 55706 16384 Vladimir State University Earth Simulator - Earth Simulator 1280 122400 131072 1556480 972000 972000 Policy description of Greece 2009-01-15 23500 10.7 South Africa BladeCenter HS21 Cluster, Xeon QC HT 3 GHz, GigEthernet 19030 45216 3768 Association for the Italian Grid Infrastructure IGI IGI (Association for the Italian Grid Infrastructure) has been established as successor of the GRID.IT project to provide long term sustainability for the Italian Grid.

Conceived from the start as a four-year project, the second two-year phase started on 1 April 2006, and is funded by the European Commission. Expanding from originally two scientific fields, high energy physics and life sciences, EGEE now integrates applications from many other scientific fields, ranging from geology to computational chemistry. Generally, the EGEE Grid infrastructure is ideal for any scientific research especially where the time and resources needed for running the applications are considered impractical when using traditional IT infrastructures. The EGEE Grid consists of over 20,000 CPU available to users 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in addition to about 5 Petabytes (5 million Gigabytes) of storage, and maintains 20,000 concurrent jobs on average. Having such resources available changes the way scientific research takes place. The end use depends on the users' needs: large storage capacity, the bandwidth that the infrastructure provides, or the sheer computing power available. 46160000 NEC - SX-8 7633.0 9216.0 60.79999999999999 2008-09-16 SX-8 35000.0 576.0 2000.0 Beowulf - cluster 224.0 P4 2005-12-09 80.0 cluster 2.0 40.0 Beowulf 2800.0 Arev - SunBlade x6250, Xeon L5420 2.5GHz, Infiniband DDR 3440 1275000 27370 34400 46 RED.ES Definition A statement or formal explanation of the meaning of a concept.

This proposal will initially provide neuroscientists with the capability to identify neurodegenerative disease markers through the analysis of 3D magnetic resonance brain images via the provision of sets of distributed medical and Grid services and later to provide a general, expandable infrastructure of services for other medical applications. neuGRID will be compliant with acknowledged EU and international standards regarding data collection, data management, and Grid construction. Of the two deployed infrastructure, MammoGrid will provide knowledge related to the middleware and upperware that will allow applications to talk to the Grid, and AddNeuroMed that related to the collection/archiving/retrieval of multicentre clinical data, biomedical images and computerized image analysis. A grid-based e-infrastructure for data archiving/communication and computationally intensive applications in the medical sciences Ana Bela Dias Astrophysical Institute Potsdam 185 Institute of High Energy Physics, Protvino ANAEE 2010-01-31 Ana Bela Dias ANAEE is a design study that aims at implementing a new concept of integrated research infrastructures in Europe for research on agro-ecosystems and natural ecosystems and environment. This infrastructure consists in interfacing three types of platforms: (i)The in situ Long Term Experimental Plateforms which consists in developing experiments for the main type of land use systems (arable crops, grasslands, forest, marchlands, heathlands ), where different types of land management are imposed for a long term and where the state variables of the system are monitored for long term in conjunction with the measurement of the environmental fluxes to atmosphere and hydrosphere. (ii)The in vitro ECOTRON equipments where blocks of ecosystems of different size could be introduced within controlled environment. Since feedbacks between the plants and the soil responses take time to establish, experiments often need to last a few years. An alternative use of Ecotrons is to analyse the physiology of blocks of ecosystems which have been subjected in situ for years to various treatments within LTEP platforms. In that case, Ecotrons can be seen as ecological analysers receiving samples for analysis.

Biomedical quality-assessed samples and data as well as biomolecular resources and molecular analysis tools are essential for academic and industry-driven research to treat and prevent human diseases. Although currently established national biobanks and biomolecular resources are a unique European strength, valuable collections typically suffer from fragmentation of the European biobanking-related research community. This hampers the collation of biological samples and data from different biobanks required to achieve sufficient statistical power. 2010-04-30 2008-02-01 Biobanking and BioMolecular resources Research Infrastructure Ana Bela Dias TU Graz 328 Tampere University of Technology GWDG 309 Cluster Platform 3000 BL2x220, L54xx 2.33 Ghz, GigE 30389.7 6144 57262.1 281 E-IRG 4500000 4500000 CECIC Mario Campolargo European Commission - DG Information Society F3 B-1049 Research Infrastructure J54 Mr. Mario Belgium Brussels Campolargo Beowulf - Cluster 5168.0 Beowulf Cluster 2600.0 2.0 2584.0 Opteron 8512.0 2008-01-22 13436.8 Beowulf - Cluster 2.0 Opteron 2000, 2800 1204.0 196.0 907.2 2009-05-27 Cluster Beowulf 98.0 University of Barcelona BladeCenter HS21 Cluster, Xeon dual core, 3.0 GHz, GigEthernet 3672 17786.2 44064 Jaws - PowerEdge 1955, 3.0 GHz, Infiniband 42390 5200 62400 HP - Cluster 2006-11-29 3000.0 6000.0 15600.0 8249.0 2600.0 Cluster 2.0 Opteron Beowulf - Cluster 2000? 3.0 Cluster 64.0 256.0 2005-02-16 Beowulf Opteron 192.0 GRENA GRENA - Georgian Research and Educational Networking Association 2008-11-05 GRENA, the Georgian Research and Educational Networking Association, was founded in 1999 as a non-profit organisation with the aim to create a network infrastructure for Georgian research and educational institutions, libraries and non-profit organisations.

The role of this agency would be to take primary responsability for all the legal and market support functions necessary to build a European Grid industry. According to the report, the European IT industry has different characteristics from those in other parts of the world. In Europe, a few larger integrators and many SME's dominate the industry, with large vendors being more or less absent. Building complex Grids also requires having good solutions to the IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) problems. Current licence schemes vary, and it is not clear which scheme or schemes best fit a European Grid industry, although it should have some level of openness to it. The legal situation with software patents is also quite different here than in the USA. A big part of the report is devoted to analyse the IPR situation. A European Grid Agency should develop and support the creation and promotion of a common reference model and toolkit for commercial products. Is it all worth the while? Yes, the report forecasts the European Grid Market could value euro 9 billion in 2011. 2006-11-25 University of Crete 492 HP - Cluster 1024.0 716.7999999999999 2005-04-19 128.0 8.0 Itanium2 Cluster 1450.0 Beowulf - Cluster 2330.0 58.0 Beowulf Cluster 2009-02-05 72.0 0.8 144.0 671.04 Xeon EVALSO 4300000 2008-08-27 Enabling Virtual Access to Latin-American Southern Observatories 2012-12-31 2008-01-01 Ana Bela Dias EVALSO aims to create a physical infrastructure (and the tools to exploit it) to efficiently connect the ESO Paranal and the Cerro Armazones Observatories to Europe.

The concept of a Virtual Observatory (VObs) is that all the world's astronomical data should feel like it sits on the astronomer's desk top, analysable with a user selected workbench of tools and made available through standard interfaces across the whole range of astronomical research topics. VObs is embraced as a world-wide community-based initiative with the potential to transform and restructure the way astronomy research is done. Euro-VO is the European implementation of this idea, and the EuroVO-AIDA project is proposed to lead the transition of Euro-VO into an operational phase. EuroVO-AIDA integrates the technology, networking and service activities of Euro-VO into a fully functioning eInfrastructure. It will establish a Registry of VObs-compliant resources; support the network of data centres in deploying the VObs e-Infrastructure; co-ordinate development of user tools for science extraction; and disseminate results to the astronomical community and identify their needs. The VObs interoperability standards will be updated taking into account feedback from implementation by data centre and from science usage. Specific emphasis will be placed on data access and data models, and on assessing innovative use of emerging technologies such as Web 2.0 by data centres for continuous improvement of the eInfrastructure. 3510000 Ana Bela Dias Euro-VO astronomical infrastructure for data access 2010-07-31 2008-02-01 2008-08-27 Narrower term Broader/Narrower Broader term A relationship to a concept that is more general in meaning.

WASY BalticGrid-II The Baltic Grid Second Phase (BalticGrid-II) project is designed to increase the impact, adoption and reach, and to further improve the support of services and users of the recently created e-Infrastructure in the Baltic States. This will be achieved by an extension of the BalticGrid infrastructure to Belarus; interoperation of the gLite-based infrastructure with UNICORE and ARC based Grid resources in the region; identifying and addressing the specific needs of new scientific communities such as nano-science and engineering sciences; and by establishing new Grid services for linguistic research, Baltic Sea environmental research, data mining tools for communication modelling and bioinformatics. The e-Infrastructure, based on the successful BalticGrid project, will be fully interoperable with the pan-European e-Infrastructures established by EGEE, EGEE associated projects, and the planned EGI, with the goal of a sustained e-Infrastructure in the Baltic Region. The present BalticGrid e-Infrastructure of 26 clusters in five countries is envisaged to grow, both in capacity and capability of its computing resources. The consortium is composed of 13 leading institutions in seven countries, with 7 institutions in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, 2 in Belarus, 2 in Poland, and one each in Sweden and Switzerland. The overall vision is to support and stimulate scientists and services used in the Baltic region to conveniently access critical networked resources both within Europe and beyond, and thereby enable the formation of effective research collaborations. 3340000 Ana Bela Dias Baltic Grid Second Phase 2008-05-01 2010-04-30 2008-07-10 SGI Altix ICE 8200EX, Xeon X5560 quad core 2.8 GHz 1183560 42690 45875.2 4096 Torbjörn Wiberg Umeå Universitet - IT unit Dr. Torbjörn CIO Umeå Sweden Wiberg SE-901 87 University of Birmingham University of Coimbra LIP-Coimbra Beowulf - Cluster Cluster 560.0 2400.0 1120.0 2.0 2688.0 1120.0 Opteron 2008-12-11 Beowulf Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) UPV - Polytechnic University of Valencia Gaming Saphor 21 IECB Has role ITPA Software Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, Xeon L54xx 2.5 GHz, GigEthernet 3784 37840 20260.7 selfmade - Cluster 3686.4 1800.0 1024.0 selfmade 3072.0 7030.0 2008-12-10 Opteron Cluster 3.0 CNPC Sichuan Geophysical Company DOE/Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory 408 Justinmind SL Grid.IT Grid Italy The GRID.IT project, in which six centers participate, created in the period 2002-2006 several grid testbeds.

A Resource Allocation Committee has been established by the RCN that evaluates the applications and decides on the allocation of computing time to research projects. Researchers can apply twice per year. Special procedures exist for large applications. The universities that host the facilities also have procedures for access to the local resources. 41000 4.6 The national HPC policy is set by the Research Council of Norway (RCN), in particular the eVITA Programme under the Division for Science of the RCN. An Advisory Board advises the eVITA Programme Board on e-Infrastructure. The national policy aims at providing a modern e-Infrastructure in an international and competitive setting for education and research at Norwegian universities, colleges and research organizations, and for operational forecasting at the Meteorological Institute. This includes powerful and cost-effective resources for computation and storage, as well as support services that enable the efficient utilization of these resources. The eVITA Programme was established late 2005 and published its first policy document on e-Infrastructure in February 2007. The Notur II project implements the national HPC infrastructure. Notur II is a project under eVITA. The project consortium consists of six partners: UNINETT Sigma (coordinator), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, the University of Tromsø, and the Meteorological Institute. The four university partners host the computing facilities. UNINETT Sigma is a subsidiary of the NREN UNINETT. The NOTUR II project will cover the period 2005-2014. The minimum guaranteed funding from the RCN is ~€2.7 million per year. The partners that host the supercomputer resources contribute with local funding and in-kind.

The project will enhance the modelling capabilities for ITER and DEMO sized plasmas through the adaptation, optimization and integration of a set of critical applications for edge and core transport modelling targeting different computing paradigms as needed (serial and parallel grid computing and HPC). Deployment of both a grid service and a High Performance computing services are essential to the project. A novel aspect is the dynamic coupling and integration of codes and applications running on a set of heterogeneous platforms into a single coupled framework through a workflow engine a mechanism needed to provide the necessary level integration in the physics applications. This strongly enhances the integrated modelling capabilities of fusion plasmas and will at the same time provide new computing infrastructure and tools to the fusion community in general. 2010-12-31 Ana Bela Dias 4900000 4900000 1090000 1090000 BladeCenter HS21 Cluster, Xeon QC HT 2.83 GHz, GigEthernet 21459 4384 49626.9 Grids in a country or region National or regional Grid Country Grids in a national or regional Grid Beowulf - cluster 174.0 696.0 2000.0 435.0 Beowulf 2006-05-10 2.5 Opteron cluster TIGEM Fornara e Maulini SpA EUN Sinopec ShengLI Oilfield Branch Company, Geophysical Research Institute 365 2800000 2800000 Beowulf - Cluster Xeon 104.0 2.0 2004-09-22 291.2 2800.0 52.0 Cluster Beowulf 57 Beowulf - Cluster 2009-02-05 883.2 192.0 2200 & 2400 2.0 Opteron Cluster 384.0 384.0 Beowulf Armenia AM UFF Beowulf - Cluster 2009-04-16 1280.0 Xeon 5420 Cluster Beowulf 1.0 128.0 128.0 256.0 2500.0 G-Cast 2007-05-15 Ad Emmen Application of GRID-computing in a coastal morphodynamics nowcast-forecast system.

Rossend LLurba 2008-02-28 Institute e-Austria Timisoara 31 HellasGrid HellasGrid 2008-03-26 The Local Office of the Information Society – Ministry of Economy and Finance established in December 2002 the HellasGrid task force, which was the nucleus of the Hellasgrid National Grid Initiative. Its task was to define the basic strategy and guidelines for the Greek national, regional and international grid activities. The outcome of the above was documented in the Hellasgrid strategy document http://www.hellasgrid.gr/engine/index.php?op=modload&modname=Downloads&action=downloadsviewfile&ctn=17&language=en The above work was funded with around €0,5 million. At the end of 2003 the 20 partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which established the first instance of the Hellasgrid National Grid Initiative, coordinated by GRNET. At the end of 2004 the Hellasgrid national grid infrastructure project was approved with a duration of 2 years and a budget of around €2 million. The project has developed the computing, storage and virtual collaboration infrastructures, complemented with operation, middleware, security, training and dissemination activities. The infrastructure of HellasGrid consists of 6 clusters with a total of 850 CPUs and around 100 TB of storage. The clusters are located in Athens (3) (Demokritos, NDC and IASA), Thessaloniki (AUTH), Patras (CTI-CEID) and Heraclion-Crete (ICS-FORTH). http://www.hellasgrid.gr/infrastructure/ The Hellasgrid MoU was extended in scope and parntership and was signed at the end of 2007 among 25 leading institutes, which officially plays the role of the NGI. Two committees similar to the Hellasgrid Task Force ones were composed, a governing one and a scientific one, while GRNET acts as the coordinating partner. The Hellasgrid project has been extended until the end of 2008, with some additional funding in the order of €1 million.

In DEISA2, activities and services relevant for Application Enabling, Operation, and Technologies are continued and enhanced, as these are indispensable for the effective support of world-leading computational sciences in the area of supercomputing. The service provisioning model is extended from one that supports a single project to one supporting Virtual European Communities. Collaborative activities will be carried out with new European and other world-leading initiatives. Of strategic importance is the cooperation with the PACE initiative which is preparing for the installation of a limited number of leadership-class tier-0 supercomputers in Europe. The principal partners are: CINECA (Italy), CSC (Finland), ECMWF (UK), EPCC (UK), FZJ (Germany), IDRIS (France), RZG (Germany), SARA (the Netherlands), LRZ (Germany), HLRS (Germany) and BSC (Spain). The DEISA supercomputing environment incorporates several different platforms and operating systems. It includes IBM AIX on Power5-6, IBM Linux on PowerPC, IBM BlueGene/P, SGI Linux on Itanium, Cray XT and NEC vectror systems: RZG – 14592 cores, LRZ - 9728 cores, BSC – 10240 cores, CINECA – 5632 cores, CSC – 8760 cores, FZJ – 66848 cores, IDRIS – 1800 cores, SARA – 5248 cores, EPCC – 11520 cores and HLRS – 576 cores. The aggregate peak computing capacity is close to 1 Pflop/s . DEISA uses an internal network with reserved bandwidth and 10 Gbps connections provided by GEANT and the NRENs to connect the supercomputers. The DEISA project received €14 million funding from the FP6 program for the period May 2004 until April 2008. DEISA was extended to eDEISA (extended DEISA) to complement the DEISA research infrastructure project. eDEISA received a EU grant of €7 million for the period June 2006 until May 2008. The DEISA2 project will run for three years from May 2008 until April 2011 and has received a funding of €10.24 million from the FP7 programme. 2008-07-07 Beowulf - Cluster 2005-02-16 PIII + AMD 933 & 2000 Beowulf 264.0 269.06 Cluster 2.0 132.0 PowerEdge M600 Cluster, Intel E5430 2.66 Ghz, Infiniband 17380 21790 672000 2048 Beowulf - Cluster Beowulf 2008-10-06 784.0 1.0 140.0 2800.0 Xeon Cluster 140.0 Cray - XD1 2400.0 172.8 XD1 2006-04-26 3.0 Opteron 36.0 108.0 Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c G1, Xeon L5420 2.5 GHz, GigE 62200 33000.8 6220 D4SCIENCE 2008-08-27 The main objective of D4SCIENCE is to deploy the e-Infrastructures built so far by the EGEE and DILIGENT projects so that they address the needs of several new scientific communities affiliated with the broad disciplines of Environmental Monitoring and Fishery Resource Management. These e-Infrastructures, which offer mechanisms that concurrently exploit networks, grids, and data in a seamless fashion, will enable scientific communities to operate within a coherent pan-European model, regardless of the location of their research facilities. The project will progressively consolidate and expand these open e-Infrastructures to better address the needs of the two major target disciplines (which have challenging differences but also interesting commonalities). Thousands of scientists will obtain increasingly more facilities for creating Virtual Research Environments based on shared computation, storage, and generic service resources offered by EGEE and DILIGENT at a European level, as well as on data and domain-specific service resources offered by large international organizations, such as ESA, FAO, and CGIAR. 2008-01-01 2009-12-31 DIstributed colLaboratories infrastructure on Grid enabled technology 4 science Ana Bela Dias 3920000 Sun - Cluster 520.0 2200.0 2007-07-18 1.5 Cluster 700.0 Opteron 2288.0 INTA - National Institute for Aerospace Technology OCS Distribution Deutschalnd GmbH NW-GRID NorthWest Grid Ana Bela Dias The NW-GRID (NorthWest Grid) project started in 2005.

However, there still exist many scientific communities whose applications require much more computing resources than existing Grids like EGEE can provide. The main objective of EDGeS is to support these new communities by providing the necessary extensions for existing Grid infrastructures to address the specific needs in these new scientific communities within a coherent pan-European model, regardless of the location of their research facilities; with the adaptation of their applications to the enhanced Grid infrastructure; and through the provision of standard APIs and Grid application development tools that facilitate the adaptation of their application to the enhanced Grid infrastructure. In order to support the specific needs of these scientific communities EDGeS will interconnect the existing EGEE Grid infrastructure with existing Desktop Grid (DG) systems in a strong partnership with EGEE. Service Grids (SGs) like EGEE are more flexible than DGs and can accommodate a broader variety of applications, however, they are much more expensive to maintain.

SNIC has 6 member centres strategically located to provide strong national HPC services. The first affiliation contract period for the participating centres was 2003-2005. The objective of this document is to form the basis of the SNIC strategy for the coming contract period. The document puts the Swedish HPC infrastructure in the context of the current trends in com- putational sciences as well as service and hardware developments. The document also analyses the resources needed to provide Swedish researchers with a competitive HPC infrastructure. The Swedish HPC landscape is then painted from the perspective of services provided to users and the infrastructure needed to provide these services is deduced. Road maps outlining how SNIC will implement the landscape are also given for each of the contributing components. These road maps are the blueprints for the future infrastructure and define the development of the Swedish high per- formance computing landscape for the period 2006-2009. 2006-04-01 Exactly one Grid Research in Europe An overview of Grid research activities in Europe.

The policy is to let the national high-capacity network remain well ahead of what is commercially available with regards to capacity, uptime and functionality. The capacity should be over-provisioned to allow for the development of new applications and experimental usage. A hybrid network is planned for and should be in line with NORDUnet and GEANT2. The national network UNINETT connects more than 200 organizations for education and research. Its backbone operates at 2.5 Gbps. International connectivity is through a 10 Gbps connection to NORDUnet. UNINETTS’ 2008 budget is €13.8 million. It is a combination of user funding (68%) and central government funding (32%). The funding for the policy implementation is integrated in other UNINETT expenses. 297 Beowulf - Cluster Cluster 2004-10-20 Athlon 136.0 68.0 34.0 2.0 2000.0 Beowulf T-Systems INGV - National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology Pyramid Computer Ilmars Slaidins Latvia Azenes 12 Slaidins Riga Technical University - Assoc.

ELI will be the first extreme light infrastructure to approach this limit. It represents the consensual effort of 13 European countries, more than 50 laboratories and numerous international collaborators. Dedicated to the fundamental study of laser-matter interaction in a new and unsurpassed, ultra-relativistic regime, this facility will be based on an exawatt-class laser delivering ultra-short (down to fractions of attosecond) pulses at least 100 times more powerful than any other existing or planned. ELI will strive to be a highly multidisciplinary platform with specialized laser, particle or radiation beam lines dedicated to wide scientific fields, from fundamental ones: atomic, particle, nuclear, gravitational, and cosmology, to societal ones. ELI will for instance benefit in life science, nanotechnology material science, or environment. ELI will finally foster technology transfers, as well as education and training. The ELI preparatory phase aims at establishing all the elements for the start of a successful construction and operation of the facility. 2010-10-31 Extreme Light Infrastructure Preparatory Phase 2008-08-20 2090000 2090000 239 Occurrence type Policy 25 Policy Enviscope GmBH T2K Open Supercomputer (Todai Combined Cluster) - Hitachi Cluster Opteron QC 2.3 GHz, Myrinet 10G 82984 113050 12288 1433600 IBM - Cluster 2400.0 28.0 268.8 Opteron 2009-06-17 Cluster LCN 490 xSeries x3450 Cluster Xeon quad core, 3.0 GHz, GigEthernet 18522.1 45408 3784 259 Cray - XT3 Cray XT3, 2.6 GHz dual Core 2.0 Opteron 40622.4 7812.0 33929.4 7812 XT3 15624.0 32000.0 2008-10-06 8196.0 2600.0 40622.4 HP - Cluster 480.0 60.0 1300.0 Itanium2 2004-10-13 8.0 312.0 Cluster Centre in country Country Computer centre in country Computer centre Beowulf - Cluster Opteron 2.0 400.0 400.0 200.0 Beowulf 880.0 2200.0 2009-02-05 Cluster BladeCenter HS21 Cluster, Xeon QC 2.66 GHz, GigEthernet 44122.8 20693 4136 Beowulf - Cluster 3000.0 128.0 768.0 2.0 2009-04-02 Xeon Cluster Beowulf 256.0 256.0 University of Paris Sud University Paris Sud XI Geophysical Center Russian Academy Sciences 1646500 1646500 IBM - p5-575 1344.0 1276.8 168.0 1900.0 2008-09-12 8.0 Power5 p5-575 NEC - SX-9 4700.0 112.0 11424.0 5600.0 3000.0 SX-9 50.0 2009-04-01 165 Bull - cluster 1500.0 Itanium2 2008-03-11 32.0 8.0 192.0 cluster 256.0 Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, Xeon 54xx 2.6 GHz, GigEthernet 17683.2 3096 32941.4 Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c G1, Xeon L5405 2 GHz, GigE 18534.8 34688 4336 University of Belfast Pleiades - SGI Altix ICE 8200EX, Xeon QC 3.0/2.66 GHz 608829 51200 2300760 487005 University of Leicester Joe Dunton CEMEF R-Systems 91611 91611 Beowulf - Cluster Beowulf 712.0 3987.2 2800.0 712.0 Cluster 800.0 1.0 2009-05-26 Xeon 288 Information Agency Beowulf - Cluster 2007-03-28 1.5 1600.0 Cluster 72.0 Beowulf Opteron 48.0 153.6 329 Malaysia 342 Beowulf - Cluster 2007-03-28 92.0 Beowulf Cluster 3200.0 588.7999999999999 Xeon 1.5 138.0 ICTP MNTEE The FP6/Infrastructure project MNT-Europe (RII3-CT-2004-506231) has led to the creation of a unique distributed platform for research and development in the field of Micro and Nano Technologies (MNT), based on the national facilities of Léti (F), CSEM (CH), IZM-M and IISB Fraunhofer (D), IMEC (B) and Tyndall (Ir) research institutes. The networking and Joint Research Activities performed during this project have highlighted the strengths and been able to pinpoint the remaining weaknesses of this Alliance. The basic idea of this proposal is to complete in the most efficient way this integration, based on the experience of this Alliance defined between major partners. Moreover, this will allow in a further step to aggregate new European R&D partners into a very robust core. Basically, three main activities will be dealt with: global management of technical, strategic and commercial joint activities, with both consolidation of common strategy and growth (based on expertise from mixed groups of technical experts, managers and commercial people), and the refinement in the coordination of operation plans (and a two step strategy with respect to the industrial world and the academic one, in view of future international access activities).

Delegation of work and responsibilities are often not very well defined and hence is an error prone process than can lead to considerable costs. The goal of the BauVOGrid project is to increase the operationalibility of a real "Bau-VO" by applying a building-Grid. BauVOGrid will built an authentication and authorisation infrastructure on top of the basic D-Grid and combine this into a coherent management infrastructire for Virtual Organisation (VO) processes. All types of resoruces can be combined and presented in the office or at a construction site. Four key technologies are being integrated to achieve this result: D-Grid, Semantic Web, Process managemetn and mobile information management.

The VObs concept has the potential to transform and re-structure the way astronomy research is done, and the Virtual Observatory is a worldwide community-based initiative. Euro-VO is a specifically European implementation of this idea that will produce a unified virtual data and service resource (a data and service grid) with the ability to perform complex data discovery and manipulation tasks across the whole range of astronomical research topics. The Euro-VO Data Centre Alliance, an essential component of the Euro-VO, populates the VObs with data produced by the European astronomy infrastructures. The EuroVO-DCA project will co-ordinate the national and European Agencies VO initiatives, to implement networking of European data centres, disseminate knowledge and good practice about the VObs technical framework, organise feedback from implementation of interoperability standards, prepare the inclusion of theoretical astronomy in the VObs framework, seek coordination with national and international projects for computational Grids, and help data centres from beyond the partners' countries to participate in the VObs endeavour.
