Birth of the Estonian Grid (EG)

Jan 29, 2004: the CA (and the phone of the RA),the country GIIS, the first CE

Brief history of the EG

Jan '04: first components of the EG: EG CA, country level GIIS and first test clusters

Jan '04: NorduGrid technical meeting in Tallinn Feb '04: Centre of High Energy Physics and Computational

Sciences at NICPB Mar '04: some first multiprocessor clusters join the EG Apr '04: CP/CPA draft for the EG CA May '04: first scientific software ported to the EG May '04: Grid laboratory at the Tartu University Jun '04: establishment of the technical coordination group

of the EG Jun-Jul '04: first massive scientific calculations at the EG Okt '04: EG technical support group publishes the first

article about the first scientific results produced with the EG

Brief history of the EG

Oct 5-7 ’04: The first Baltic Grid meeting

Current situation of the EG Choice of middleware: NorduGrid ARC EG CA is trusted by EUGridPMA and NorduGrid 62 CPUs in the EG (Pentium4 2.2…3.0 GHz) The country GIIS registers to NorduGrids top level GIISes

Political structure and cost of the EG The political structure of the EG

- the steering committee of the EG is establishing

- EENet, NICPB, TUT, UT The cost of the EG

- 0 euros in this year- based volunteers in this year- 4-6 persons are involved, not full-time- the budget of the next year is open

Some excellent possibilities of the EG Electronic ID-card infrastructure (600 000 ID-

cards), it is easy to use for the Grid Local experiences with E-money and rental

software Good connections to NorduGrid

Support project for the commercial applications

AS EGeen: analyse of gene information OÜ Nukufilm: animations and rendering OÜ Vendomar: testing of the applications AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus: ID-card and its applications AS Silmet: nuclear and radiation safety AS Tallinna Diagnostikakeskus: medical applications Other: Centre of Radiation Safety, the Ministry of Defence

Analyse of the gene information on the Grid

First scientific results from the EG: nuclear safety calculations using Geant4The total time of the computations was 417 CPU days. The

speed of the CPUs used were between 2.4 GHz and 3.06 GHz (IntelPentium 4).

In total there were 17 failed jobs (2.6%) during the computations, probably due to random hardware errors. There were 16 post-processing errors (2.5%) due to the instability of the hardware/software caused by the external factors: blackouts of electric grid, overheating, etc.
