Desktop GRID Computing Seminar & Workshop
Institut Teknologi Bandung, 4 Oktober 2011
PENDAHULUAN
Komputasi GRID atau GRID computing adalah teknologi di bidang sains dan komputasi yang saat ini
berkembang pesat di kalangan akademisi tingkat global dalam bentuk penyediaan infrastruktur
komputasi berkinerja tinggi (high performance computing) untuk bahan pengajaran serta
penelitian. Teknologi tersebut merupakan terobosan yang saat ini terus dikembangkan untuk
menjawab tantangan dalam bidang komputasi.
Institut Teknologi Bandung bekerja sama dengan IDGF (International Desktop Grid Federation)
melakukan upaya untuk bisa menyerap serta membagikan informasi yang berkaitan dengan
teknologi ini dengan jalan menghadirkan narasumber yang kompeten untuk berbagi pengetahuan
tentang perkembangan teknologi GRID computing ini sebagai bahan kolaborasi riset dan
pengembangan.
Robert Lovas, PhD., co-editor buku “Distributed and Parallel Systems: Desktop Grid Computing”
(Springer) dari Budapest University of Technology and Economics; Basuki Suhardiman, Institut
Teknologi Bandung; dan M. Farhan Sjaugi dari Universiti Putra Malaysia adalah narasumber yang
akan hadir pada Desktop GRID Computing Seminar & Workshop untuk menyampaikan topik terkini
dalam bidang GRID computing , secara khusus membahas mengenai Desktop GRID serta kolaborasi
internasional membangun infratruktur GRID melalui IDGF.
TUJUAN
Kegiatan bertujuan
1. Mensosialisasikan dan diseminasi tentang Tren Perkembangan GRID & Desktop GRID
2. Membangun kolaborasi institusi untuk penelitian dan pengembangan komputasi GRID
3. Membangun komunitas internasional GRID computing developer
BENTUK KEGIATAN
Kegiatan dilaksanakan dalam bentuk seminar , presentasi mengenai pengembangan teknologi
komputasi GRID dengan framework Desktop GRID, dilanjutkan dengan Workshop (opsional).

Convergence of distributed computing infrastructures with
focus on Volunteer and campus-wide Desktop Grids
Abstract
Traditional Desktop Grids consist of computers and other devices, including desktop PCs and
notebooks that are used for general purposes but having unused computational and storage
capacities. Nowadays there are more and more efforts to help harness GPUs, game consoles,
clouds, and human intelligence as well.
These distributed infrastructures can be formed inside research institutes and universities (local
Desktop Grids) or by citizens that voluntarily donate spare computing time to science (volunteer
Desktop Grids). Both types of Grids collect large number of underutilized resources and can offer
them for various simulations and other applications. To be more useful for researchers and
students, Desktop Grids have been integrated into scientific workflows on a regular basis; the
elaborated generic bridge between Desktop Grids and traditional service Grids together with the
appropriate application development methodology can foster the convergence of distributed
computing infrastructures.
The EU FP7 DEGISCO project transfers the knowledge concerning this combined distributed
computing infrastructure towards new communities by supporting the creation of new Desktop
Grids for e-Science worldwide. Moreover, the project members connect the different types of
Grids applying the bridge technology, support the production level combined Grid infrastructure,
assist in porting applications, as well as disseminate, promote and provide training about the Grid
and its usage. Several scientific applications with large user communities are already available but
DEGISCO is searching potential new applications that benefit of the research infrastructure.
The International Desktop Grid Federation has been set-up to exchange experience about the
usage of Desktop Grid technology, to expand scientific infrastructures, and in order to bring
together Grid operators, application developers, and other key players.
The talk will outline the above described efforts, achievements and the progress towards
convergence.

Biography
Dr. Robert Lovas is the deputy head of the Laboratory of the Parallel and Distributed Systems at
the Computer and Automation Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI).
He received his MSc and PhD degrees at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He
is the coordinator of the DEGISCO international Grid project in the European Union 7th Framework
Programme, founding member of the International Desktop Grid Federation, member of the
Technical Committee of the Hungarian Grid Competence Center, expert of the Grid Application
Support Center (GASuC) in collaboration with the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI), former
member of the EU CoreGrid Network of Excellence, and programme committee member of several
summer schools and workshops/conferences.
From 1997 he has been involved in several national (Chemistry Grid, HAGRID, WEB2GRID),
intergovernmental bilateral, and European Grid projects (all phases of EGEE, CANCERGRID, ETICS-
2, and EDGeS). In the HARNESS project he worked as an exchange scientist at the Department of
Math and Computer Science, Emory University, Atlanta, USA. He has long-running experience in
ICT collaborations with academic organizations, universities, and enterprises from various
application areas of meteorology, biotechnology, telecommunication, and computational
chemistry.
He is a co-author of more than 40 scientific papers and book chapters on parallel software
engineering and Grid computing particularly from design, debugging, and application aspects. He
was a co-editor of the book 'Distributed and Parallel Systems: Desktop Grid Computing' (Springer).
