Scientific Data Grid

• SDG is built upon the mass scientific data
  resources of the Scientific Database (SDB).
• Scientific Data Grid (SDG) is a typical project
  of CAS e-Science, also a pilot.
• The vision of SDG is to take valuable data
  resources into full play by benefiting from
  advanced information technologies, in particular,
  the Grid technology.

9

• SDB status
• 45 institutes across 16 cities
• 388 databases (322 online)
• 13TB total volume (7.7TB online)

SDG Middleware

• SDG Security System (SDG-CA)
• Based on OpenCA
• Data Access Service (DAS)
• A middleware between users and databases
• Add virtual database based on real database
• Users can call DAS APIs to query the virtual
  databases, independent of heterogeneous database.
  
• Now available for Oracle/SQL Server/Mysql
• Information and Metadata System (IMS)
• SDG Service Registration
• SDG Service Discovery
• Developed by and installed in CNIC

SDG Demo Applications

• China Virtual Observatory
• National Astronomical Observatory, CAS
• Grid Services wrapping up astronomical data and
  code
• quite a few services ready now
• HEP (Yangbajing)
• Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS
• International cosmic rays preprocess center
• Do the demo in iGrid2005
• BioScience
• All the applications have installed in CNIC.

17
China National Grid (CNGrid)

• A key project supported by the National High-Tech
  RD program (the 863 Program)
• 8 grid nodes/clusters across China (including
  CNIC super computer)
• Grid software
• Now CNIC
• GOC of China National Grid
• The major node of North China
• Portal of CNGrid
