网格计算:下一个十年--报告与综述

Grid Computing: The Next Decade -- Report and Summary

摘要:

在过去的10多年里,全球科学网络基础设施(CI)的发展导致了CI实例的巨大多样性。虽然专业化、竞争性和替代性的CI构建块是健康生态系统所固有的,但很明显,日益严重的碎片化阻碍了互操作,从而限制了协作,而协作对于通常跨越国际团体和多学科的现代科学界至关重要。(但即使是拥有较小和本地化社区的“小科学”,也往往嵌入到更大的科学生态系统中,并且越来越依赖CI的可用性。在技术和社会层面上,出现分裂的原因各不相同。但是,很明显,目前用于创建CI组件的资助模式在很大程度上未能通过将CS研究和IT工程挑战混合到相同的资助策略中来帮助从研究到生产的过渡。欧盟资助的“网格实验室”项目10周年(这是一个早期的雄心勃勃的尝试,旨在为特定的科学界提供一个统一的、面向科学的网络基础设施软件栈),并以此为契机,邀请了来自欧洲、美洲和亚洲的网格计算和电子科学领域的国际领导人和早期研究人员,以及欧盟和美国资助机构的代表,讨论CI发展的基本方面,并考虑对CI的全球发展采取更一致、更协调的方法的选择。这份公开文件代表了该讲习班的成果-包括一份任务说明草案和一份蓝图进程建议-以便向更广泛的社区提供信息,并鼓励外部专家提供反馈和意见。

英文摘要:

The evolution of the global scientific cyberinfrastructure (CI) has, over the last 10+ years, led to a large diversity of CI instances. While specialized, competing and alternative CI building blocks are inherent to a healthy ecosystem, it also becomes apparent that the increasing degree of fragmentation is hindering interoperation, and thus limiting collaboration, which is essential for modern science communities often spanning international groups and multiple disciplines (but even 'small sciences', with smaller and localized communities, are often embedded into the larger scientific ecosystem, and are increasingly dependent on the availability of CI.) There are different reasons why fragmentation occurs, on technical and social level. But also, it is apparent that the current funding model for creating CI components largely fails to aid the transition from research to production, by mixing CS research and IT engineering challenges into the same funding strategies. The 10th anniversary of the EU funded project 'Grid Lab' (which was an early and ambitious attempt on providing a consolidated and science oriented cyberinfrastructure software stack to a specific science community) was taken as an opportunity to invite international leaders and early stage researchers in grid computing and e-Science from Europe, America and Asia, and, together with representatives of the EU and US funding agencies, to discuss the fundamental aspects of CI evolution, and to contemplate the options for a more coherent, more coordinated approach to the global evolution of CI. This open document represents the results of that workshop - including a draft of a mission statement and a proposal for a blueprint process - to inform the wider community as well as to encourage external experts to provide their feedback and comments.
