neuGRID
neuGRID’s OBJECTIVE
To develop a grid-based
environment for the
collection/archiving of large
amounts of imaging data paired
with computationally intensive
data analysis tools (testbed
cortical thickness extraction)

neuGRID Infrastructure
A Layered Infrastructure
Expected infrastructure of
500 Cores and 30TB of storage
fully dedicated
to neuGRID
DEPLOYED
Local clusters available in

neuGRID Technology
• Combination of LORIS & MammoGrid
• Grid as the technological glue
• Deployment of the Solution in relevant major centres
accross Europe
LORIS
neuGRID
MammoGrid
neuGRID Architecture
Service-Oriented Architecture
Highly Specialized
Interfaces
Common Purpose
Interfaces
Web Portal
Domain Logic
(Generic Services)
Backends Abstraction
Generic to ALL domains
(Software abstraction from databases, grid,
enactment environments...)
(can theoretically be fully reused)
Backends Middleware
(Underlying IT legacy assets, e.g. EGEE gLite, mySQL, Globus, Oracle 11g...)
Monitoring, Logging and Accounting
(can theoretically be reused in other medical applications)
(Provides the mechanisms to store, archive and sort all log
information. The layer is concerned with services which allow
efficient monitoring of all infrastructure resources)
Generic to Medical domain
Security
(Specific Services)
Workflow Management
Business Logic
(SOA Governance is in charge of defining, accessing,
executing, operating and maintaining reusable services
with appropriate quality of services and conforming
With all other requirements, e.g. Security, privacy...)
(can theoretically be partly reused in
similar projects since
abstracted from underlying IT)
(All services concerned with authentication,
Authorization within the platform)
