EGI Federation
EGI Federation

EGI is a federation of over 300 computing and data centres across 56 countries that delivers advanced computing services to support scientists and research infrastructures. Research collaborations like the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid and the Cherenkov Telescope Array use EGI's computing and storage resources to manage large data transfers and computations. Individual scientists also use EGI's resources through tools and platforms like HADDOCK, VIP, and Chipster to conduct simulations, analyze medical images and genomic data, and gain insights into fields like structural biology, virology, and bacterial infections.

Use Case Collection EGI is a federation of over 300 computing and data centres spread across 56 countries in Europe and worldwide EGI delivers advanced computing services to support scientists, multinational projects and research infrastructures EGI is supported by the EGI-Engage project, co-funded by the European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 program under grant number 654142
Research Infrastructures and Large Research Collaborations
In 2016, the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) transferred on average 80 Petabytes of data per month. This corresponds to more than 1 billion files per month transferred to thousands of particle physicists working across the world. ATLAS control room at CERN WLCG provides computing and storage to the High Energy Physics experiments operating at CERNs Large Hadron Collider WLCG: Online Storage and Data Transfer at unprecedented scales
1350 scientists from 32 countries CTA EGI usage (2013-2016): 360 million HS06 CPU hours 11 PB of data transferred 2 PB currently in storage 11 million compute jobs Credit: Akihiro Ikeshita Mero-TSK CTA uses EGIs High-Throughput Compute and Online Storage services to manage its computational challenges during the array preparatory phase. http://go.egi.eu/cta Cherenkov Telescope Array: the worlds leading gamma-ray observatory
240 scientists from 14 countries H.E.S.S. EGI usage (per year): 38 million HS06 CPU hours 2,000 compute jobs running at any given timeCredit: Julien Bolmont / Collaboration HESS / CNRS Phototh竪que H.E.S.S. uses EGIs High-Throughput Compute service to run massive Monte Carlo simulations from the data collected in their observatory in Namibia. http://go.egi.eu/hess H.E.S.S. Experiment: a window to the high energy universe
Applications, tools and platforms for science (Thematic Services)
For modelling the structure of proteins and other molecules Scientists input their data and specifications; HADDOCK returns best fit simulations. So far, HADDOCK processed over 130,000 submissions from more than 7,500 scientists. HADDOCK portal Structural Biology HADDOCK relies on EGIs High-Throughput Compute service https://www.egi.eu/use-cases/scientific-applications-tools/haddock/
For medical simulation and image data analysis VIP allows life scientists to use complex computational tools with no added IT overhead. VIP portal Medical Imaging VIP relies on EGIs High-Throughput Compute service and the DIRAC instance provided by France Grilles http://go.egi.eu/vip
http://chipster.csc.fi/ Chipster - Bioinformatics Research story: http://go.egi.eu/BIBD For genomic analysis A user-friendly analysis software for high-throughput data with over 350 analysis tools and a large collection of reference genomes Users can save and share automatic analysis workflows, and visualize data interactively
Individual scientists and research groups (the so-called Long-Tail of Science)
When human cell meets Salmonella K. F旦rstner (Univ. W端rzburg) used Cloud Compute to run READemption - a pipeline for the analysis of sequencing data. Cloud Compute helped the team to handle demand peaks and that sped up the whole process significantly.

Chipster helps virologists to understand millions of genomes J. Hepojoki (Univ. Helsinki) used Chipster to analyse the viruses found in six snakes suffering from Boid Inclusion Body Disease. They found that all samples had more than one arenavirus, some of them from entirely new species.
