Grid Computing
 Grid Computing
systems can be
reached in to global
 Efficient utilization of
resources of
different
organizations
 Users do not need to
know where the
resources is
need to build the
Distributed Supercomputing

The Summary in 5th VAST-AIST Workshop
 Grid Computing
 Use PRAGMA as an international collaborative
framework (Japan and Vietnam are the members
of PRAGMA)
 National Project on GRID (VN GRID) since early
2008, using TEIN2 (5 nodes in Vietnam)
 VN Grid should be the substantial body to work
with PRAGMA
 PRAGMA 17 meeting will be in Hanoi Oct 2009
and it will organized by VAST (IOIT) and AIST is
willingness to join and support
 HOPE (Hospital Open Software Platform for EHealth)

The Summary in 5th VAST-AIST Workshop
GEOGRID, PRAGMA 17, IOIT – HANOI, VIETNAM
5 presentations
 2 from AIST
• Dr. Handa
• Dr. Sekiguchi
 3 from VAST
• Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao (IOIT)
• Mr. Dao Van Tuyet (IAMI) with 2 presentations
Topics
 1 on Multilingual support on TaiViet, ChuNom and Cham
(AIST) based on Open Source Software on LINUX
 2 on Natural Language Processing (VAST): Statistical
Machine Translation and spelling, grammar checking
 2 on GRID Computing (AIST and VAST): 1 on
Telemedicine application on GRID and 1 on programming
environment for GRID

GEO Grid introduction
The GEO (Global Earth Observation) Grid is aiming at providing an
E-Science Infrastructure for worldwide Earth Sciences communities to
accelerate GEO sciences based on the concept that relevant data and
computation are virtually integrated with a certain access control and
ease-of-use interface those are enabled by a set of Grid and Web service
technologies.

GEO Grid as E-science system design
ASTER Complete Data Set Online
 Handling large (>200TB) data archive for satelite imagery
 Accessible as a service
GEOGRID, PRAGMA 17, IOIT – HANOI, VIETNAM
Data Access Policies
 Retaining data owner’s publication policies without increasing
management cost
Data Intergration
 Handling wide diversification of data types, associated metadata,
prodcts and services
On-Demand data processing capability
 Use workflow for composing complex applications
 Run on “Grid managed” resources
