Our intent is first to evaluate the FedCloud, its technology and offers, from the viewpoint of the VERCE project. E.g. to see if it would be possible to use the FedCloud for data analysis or postprocessing just as EGI Grid sites. In our opinion it is important, not only to assess possible use of the FedCloud in VERCE, but also to be aware of current developments and trends in the infrastructures.
Distributed trace processing in the Cloud: service that is intended to complement the services of the VERCE projects infrastructure, utilizing Cloud resources to offer simplified execution of data pre- and post-processing scripts. It offers users access to the ObsPy seismological toolbox for processing data with the Python programming language, executed on virtual Cloud resources in a secured sandbox.
The solution encompasses a frontend with a modern graphical user interface, a messaging infrastructure as well as Python worker nodes for background processing.

Short Description

VERCE (Virtual Earthquake and seismology Research Community in Europe e-science environment) is a project which, as the name suggests, strives to create a holistic environment that is specialised for earthquake and seismology researchers, easing their use of European e-infrastructures. The idea is to facilitate especially the combined usage of European data-infrastructures (mainly seismology data resources that e.g. archive waveforms etc.), PRACE HPC sites, Grid and even local resources of the institutions of the researchers. The project has identified a set of use-cases that correspond to typical applications from the field, as well as a set of application tools and libraries that are commonly used. Examples are seismic noise cross-correlation, or high resolution tomography from 3D full waveform inversion.

As the typical work of seismologists includes applications with hugely different resource requirements, the different infrastructures will be used for different purposes, e.g. the production runs of typically HPC simulation codes requiring hundreds of parallel CPUs are run on PRACE sites, while pre- and post-processing, data analysis tasks, tests, etc. are run on other resources, such as EGI. VERCE already has an established VO verce.eu, which currently includes only project sites.

Use Case

Distributed trace processing in the Cloud: service that is intended to complement the services of the VERCE projects infrastructure, utilizing Cloud resources to offer simplified execution of data pre- and post-processing scripts. It offers users access to the ObsPy seismological toolbox for processing data with the Python programming language, executed on virtual Cloud resources in a secured sandbox. The solution encompasses a frontend with a modern graphical user interface, a messaging infrastructure as well as Python worker nodes for background processing.
