The Development ChallengeThe Development ChallengeElectronic design teams currently use different tools, have different data formats, need access to large scale compute resources, generate vast amounts of data, work independently of device engineers.

We propose to build an integrated Grid infrastructure which will ....

…da-da-daaah…

…revolutionise nanoCMOS design by making it a completely integrated collaborative process.

Will focus on 4 key areas – all targeted to real scientific needs:

Workflows Data mgt Security Resource mgt

Workflows are fundamental to the way scientists want to work tighter dependencies between services (e.g. coupled simulations)

Generating huge amounts of data in many different formats establishing metadata formats for a new industry

Advanced security crucial to engage with industry introducing advanced security to the OMII-UK architecture; allowing for the effect of licensing in managing workflow

Extremely computational intense, they need intelligent job scheduling/mgt linking OMII-UK services to batch-oriented codes; a marriage of the HPC-oriented Grid world and the user targeted service oriented architecture world

Feed requirements to, and shape the future implementation of OMII-UK e-Science partners directly involved in OMII-UK Pickles, Berry on OMII-UK Technical Advisory Board Sinnott in OMII User Group
