National e-infrastructure - a very brief history
Ø From the beginning, it was always recognized that e-infrastructure, just like other research infrastructure, should be shared.
Ø Early on, research institutions competed for basically the same funding and established disconnected e-infrastructure resources.
Ø In the early 2000’s, the need for coordination and sharing lead to the establishment of UNINETT Sigma and the Metacenter. Universities still competed for the same funding and had their own hardware resources, no common strategy.
Ø In December 2014, the 4 major universities (UiB, UiO, UiT, NTNU) and the Research Council of Norway (RCN) decided to establish UNINETT Sigma2 and collectively operate the national e-infrastructure.

Sigma2’s high level objectives
Ø Procure, operate and develop a critical national e-infrastructure
Ø Promote e-infrastructure to new research communities
Ø Lead and coordinate participation in international cooperation for e-infrastructure
Ø Provide an attractive and sustainable e-infrastructure for all research communities, with the following characteristics:
• High reliability and availability
• Cost effectiveness
• Predictable access
• Interoperability within the national e-infrastructure and between national and international infrastructures (e.g. PRACE, EUDAT)
Ø Provide services for data analytics of large datasets (Big Data)

The Metacenter
Ø National coordination and shared, consolidated resources have cost and efficiency advantages but creates a “distance” to the end-users (researchers)
Ø This is countered by keeping the support staff and competence near where the research is going on, at the universities
Ø Combined with a data-centric architecture for the e-infrastructure, this model combines the advantages of the centralized model and the local model

In summary
The core mission of UNINETT Sigma2 is to provide services that researchers need today, e.g. advanced user support, training, data services such as storage, archive, data management tool, data analytics (Big Data) and high performance computing (HPC), that all together facilitate research, FAIR use of data and the collaboration among research communities.

The NIRD Service Platform
Ø Bring compute to the data, not the other way around (data-centric architecture, sits “on top of” NIRD)
Ø Powerful compute nodes and virtualization technology (Kubernetes, Docker containers) for on-demand tasks and fast service deployment
Ø Designed for close integration with commercial cloud services.

Strength of the Service Platform (SP)
• Flexible and versatile: SP can host any dockerized service
• Cost-effective: SP computing resources can be use to dockerized jobs or tradictional HPC jobs (single threaded or OpenMP jobs)
• Customizable: researchers can run their own service (web service, computing workflows etc…) provided that it is dockerized
• GPUs for visualization and GPU/CPU computing (data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence)

Services for sensitive research dataØData that can be related to human subjects is by law/nature sensitive*, and the
importance and prevalence of this type of data in research is rapidly increasing as it relates to health and other societal issues of high impact and visibility.
ØOur ability to do research involving sensitive data is dependent on e-infrastructure that can protect the data according to laws and regulations while at the same time providing access and resources according to the needs of the researchers.
ØUiO/USIT, together with Sigma2 and others, have collaborated on establishing a secure e-infrastructure to provide services for sensitive data. The resulting ”TSD” is a nationalplatform for all types of research involving sensitive data.

High Performance Computing (HPC)Ø Transiting from one HPC system at each of the four universities, to
a shared model with two systems, with 2-year leap-frogged installation across a 4-year lifetime for each (two tracks).
Ø From 1 October ‘17 compute load serviced by Abel, Stallo and Fram. From early ‘19 Fram + the next system, “B1”.
Ø Shared and distributed operations between the four universities coordinated by Sigma2.
Ø Access to compute time on Colossus (TSD) for sensitive data available also from Sigma2.
Ø Accelerators, GPUs and Xeon Phis, currently available on Abel, soon also on the NIRD Service Platform (nVidia P80 or P100).
Ø The HPC resources, TSD and the NIRD Service Platform to complement each other in a data-centric “echosystem”.
