Information and computing resources of IREC: infrastructure, data, applications

The Integrated information and computing network of the Irkutsk scientific and educational complex (IICN IREC) is the basic technological platform for most interdisciplinary research conducted by scientific organizations of the Irkutsk region. The article presents the stages of development of the information, computing and telecommunications infrastructure of the IICN IREC in the period from 2008 to 2022. The main directions of modernization of IREC were: the development of a communication network, the deployment of a virtualization platform, data storage system and GPU cluster. The Irkutsk supercomputer center (ISCC) of the SB RAS, which interacts with IREC, has also been developed. The most significant stage in the development of the ISCC was the implementation of the project to create a new generation computing cluster, named after the first organizing director of the institute, Academician V.M. Matrosov. The effectiveness of the created information and computing infrastructure is shown on the example of the implementation of two major integration projects. These are the projects “Fundamental research and breakthrough technologies as the basis for the advanced development of the Baikal region and its interregional relations” (2016–2019) and “Fundamental foundations, methods and technologies for digital monitoring and forecasting of the environmental situation in the Baikal natural territory (BNT)” (2020–2022). More than a dozen institutions have taken part in these projects. To support interdisciplinary research, tools that ensure effective interaction of researchers with the IREC information and computing infrastructure have been developed at the ISDCT SB RAS. Among them are Geoportal, Digital Platform for Monitoring of BNT and Orlando Tools. As part of the projects,a large array of various formats data on the state of the region was collected and computationally complex problems were solved. The integration of heterogeneous scientific data and the possibility of processing them with high-performance computing tools open up new opportunities for obtaining new breakthrough results


Keywords: information-computing and telecommunication resources and platforms, high-performance computing systems, data storage systems, virtualization systems, geoportal, tools
