Main Roadmap and Innovation Technology For Users For Resource Providers Media



Introduction

This wiki page provides information about the user communities and use cases who are exploiting the EGI Federated Cloud infrastructure and its services. These use cases and communities collaborated (or collaborate in the past) with the EGI Federated Cloud to enable scientific applications, simulations or tools in virtualised environments. The evolution of the Federated Cloud infrastructure is driven by the requirements of these use cases and the needs of the broader scientific community and industry in the European Research Area.

The EGI Federated Cloud User Support (FCUS) team during the porting and integration work of the use cases into the Federated Cloud, follows a well defined process described bellow. The various phases are described as well, and will be used in the next coming tables to list the ongoing, production and closed use cases.

Cloud.Use.Cases.Status.PNG
Status Description
Pre-assessment FCUS members identified a potential use case that can profit from the EGI Federated Cloud services
Assessed The use case requirements are assessed with relevant information added to a dedicated wiki page, to manage the full porting & integration process
Preparatory The user & FCUS team setup the environment to execute tests on the FedCloud (configuration of client environment, identify resource providers, upload vm images, ...)
Test & Integration Users are accessing the FedCloud through the fedcloud.egi.eu VO to execute tests while integrate their applications to the infrastructure
Pre-production Test & integration phases were successfully completed. Create a production Virtual Organization (VO) or join an already existing VO
Production Use case is being used in production. The use case completed all tests and is regularly making use of the Federated Cloud using a production level VO
Closed Test & integration successfully completed. Use case either does not foresee moving into production or production phase ended
Cancelled Test & integration did not successfully completed. User cancelled the use case.

Closed Use Cases

Note: use cases that reached the Closed status phase

Project or Application Description Further information
Catania Science Gateway Framework The Catania Science Gateway Framework (CSGF) provides application developers with a tool to create Science Gateways. CSGF is able to manage AuthN/AuthZ and to interact with different DCIs (grid, cloud, HPC, local, etc.). The CSGF use case exploits EGI Cloud capabilities through via a SaaS service model. Furthermore, the CSGF can orchestrate the cloud services through their OCCI-compliant and rOCCI-enabled interfaces acting as infrastructure broker.
BNCWeb BNCWeb is an interface to the British National Corpus, being a key reference work in English studies, linguistics and language teaching and is widely used in a wide variety of computational linguistic applications. The use case aims to offer BNCWeb services via EGI FedCloud. FedCloudBNCweb
WeNMR WeNMR community provides the user community with a platform integrating and streamlining the computational approaches necessary for NMR/SAXS data analysis and structural modelling. A set of use cases aim to explore cloud resources to run molecular dynamics simulations for educational purpose, and to port VirtualCing suite of program to the cloud. FedCloudWeNMR
Cranfield University One of the gosal of this use case is to evaluate the EGI Federated Cloud in order to organise hands-on training for students. Another topic of interest is the exploitation of the Federated Cloud capabilities for resource allocation and scheduling algorithms for federated cloud systems. FedCloudCranfield
DIRAC The DIRAC interware project provides a framework for building ready to use distributed computing systems. Regarding cloud resources, DIRAC is currently integrated with Amazon EC2, OpenNebula, OpenStack and CloudStack. DIRAC wants to explore Iaas cloud model for Monte Carlo simulations, and to explore VMDIRAC as portal for VM scheduler, with third party job broker. FedCloudDIRAC
European Space Agency In the context of the Helix Nebula initiative, the European Space Agency organized a Proof of Concept using EGI Federated Cloud resources. The objective is to prove the interoperability between commercial (Helix Nebula) and academic (EGI Federated Cloud) cloud providers and to prove the possibility to provide processing services to scientists using the Federated Cloud IaaS system. FedCloudESAPoC
FTK FTK – Research Institute for Telecommunication and Cooperation – consists of a team with broad and profound expertise in various fields such as consulting, research, information, innovation- and project management, event organisation and web development. FTK would like to evaluate the EGI Federated Cloud capabilities. FedCloudFTK
JAMS Jena Adaptable Modelling System (JAMS) is an java-based, open-source software platform that has been especially designed to address the demands of a process-based hydrological model development and various aspects of model application. The use case was to run JAMS on the EGI Federated Cloud. FedCloudJAMSPoC
READemption READemption is a pipeline for the computational evaluation of RNA-Seq data. The use case consists in running the analysis workflow on the EGI Cloud Federation. FedCloudRNASeq
WS-PGRADE WS-PGRADE is a portal environment for the development, execution and monitoring of workflows and workflow based parameter studies on different Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCI). WS-PGRADE wants to exploit the cloud for software testing and debugging. FedCloudWSPGRADE
