- Submitted the following NGS Renewal Application for MoSeS work:
- Research Case
- This allocation is for MoSeS work (http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/projects/MoSeS/). In this we are creating a demographic model of the UK. I am creating an individual and household level population dataset for the UK for 2001. This is a datset with approximately 60 million records. The dataset is constructed in parts for Census Aggregate Statistics Areas. The lowest level aggregation of these are Output Areas of which there are 223060 in the UK. It takes approximately 5 minutes to calculate the population for an Output Area on a single processor. I hope to use NGS resources to generate datasets in much less time than it would take on other resources that are available. At the same time I hope to collaborate with NGS and middleware developers to support our use case. At the present time I am processing on ngs.leeds.ac.uk, but the hope is to submit jobs via the NGS or NCeSS portal and not have to worry which of the core sites the job is running on. All of the details of our research are to be made available on the Web. Progress on this work will probably be presented at the next UK e-Science All Hands Meeting and International e-Social Science conference.
- Case Summary
- I want more resource to run the MoSeS demographic model population initialisation. This is e-Social Science work due to be presented at the next UK e-Science All Hands Meeting and and International e-Social Science conference. Publication of this work will also be on the web and linked via the following URL: http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/projects/MoSeS/

- Tried to make a further NGS Renewal Application for MoSeS work:
- Renewal Case:
- I have used 8400 hours of CPU well over my initial 1000 hours allocation. I have an application in process for a further 10000 hours CPU, but have been advised to submit a further application. This I hereby do. This allocation is for MoSeS work (http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/projects/MoSeS/). In this we are creating a demographic model of the UK. To begin with I am performing a Population Initialisation, which is creating an individual and household level population dataset for the UK for 2001. This is a datset with approximately 60 million records. The dataset is constructed in parts for Census Aggregate Statistics Areas. The lowest level aggregation of these are Output Areas of which there are 223060 in the UK. It takes approximately 5 minutes to calculate the population for an Output Area on a single processor. I hope to use NGS resources to generate a dataset in much less time than it would take on other resources that are available. At the same time I hope to collaborate with NGS and middleware developers to support our use case, which might ultimately involve repeating this sort of process multiple times. At the present time I have been processing on ngs.leeds.ac.uk, but the hope is to submit jobs via the NGS or NCeSS portal and not have to worry which of the core sites the job is running on. All of the details of our research are to be made available on the Web. Progress on this work will probably be presented at the next UK e-Science All Hands Meeting and International e-Social Science conference.
