NSF Renews PRAGMA for Five Year
Thanks to the work of all of us

And what is expected of PRAGMA?

• Validate the investments in cyberinfrastructure

One (not to be lost in) translation Have
scientist use the grid to do science!
6
Savannah BurnHow tightly linked are burning,
vegetation, and rainfall?

• PRAGMA Testbed ran CSIRO climate model called
  CCAM in combination with Nimrod/G tool set.
• Executed on a maximum of 90 processors (out of a
  maximum 159) across 7 PRAGMA grid resources
  located in Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
  Thailand and the U.S.
• David Abramson, Amanda Lynch

Validation of Cyberinfrastructure Investmentsby
the Savannah Burn experiment

• Science Resulted The hypothesis that burning the
  Savanna can affect the strength and timing of the
  monsoon was confirmed.
• Testbed Exercised The testbed operated for 170
  days, and delivered over 1.25 million processor
  hours! Importantly, we were able to do a live
  upgrade of a number of the cyberinfrastructure
  components during the period.
• Middleware Improved Improved Nimrod's ability to
  schedule computations by incorporating both data
  location and transport delays.
• Allowing it to make a better choice of resources,
  improving the performance of the system as well
  as its fault tolerance.
• We also enhanced Nimrod's ability to handle
  faults in the Grid testbed.
• Policy Impacted The experiment shipped some
  1.6TB of data across national and international
  networks. This exposed some interesting features
  of Australias network charging policy, and will
  lead to lasting improvements.

PRAGMA Continues to Experiment

• Expand our impact to new application areas
• GEO and Geosciences Metagenomics
• Increase emphasis on data in our routine use
  laboratory
• Establish data grid testbed (AIST, SDSC,
  Tsukuba, NCHC)
• GEO and Geosciences and others
• Harness the potential of lambda grids
• Telescience and Tile Display Walls with demo at
  SC06
• Work with productions grids to achieve
  interoperations
• Grid Interoperations Now (GIN)
• Broaden involvement of middleware developments
  from outside the Pacific Rim
• U Amsterdam UK National e-science Center, U
  Zurich
• Build the community
• Develop federated approach to training and to
  establishing research directions
• Understand organizational aspects of how virtual
  organizations work

Well already be seeing results of some of
these activities
