  6. DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  7. Grid Deployment Organization DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  8. Grid Technology Activities • Overall Requirements • Technology Tracking • Middleware Development • Middleware Recommendations DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  9. Overall Requirements • Keep a clear view of the emerging requirements for the LHC computing including batch and interactive analysis. The HEPCAL document is the starting point for this. • Track the grid activities within the experiments and help disseminate the experiences gained • Disseminate the need for high quality infrastructure services and work towards their technical realization • Work towards a systems architecture for grid technology to support the project DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  10. Technology Tracking • Monitor closely the technology evolution and “put into practice” the technologies as they mature in production. Work with the experiments to perform structured tests will be required. This may also involve working with industry and other sponsored developments to prototype and test solutions as they emerge • Study the system architecture issues as experience is gained in order to steer the technology evolution DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  11. Middleware Development • Seek strategic advice from the individuals driving the multiple projects producing the core technologies • Work towards one set of common and complementary projects encompassing the efforts underway. This involves participating in the plans for funding future projects • Identify key developments that are required for the LHC computing grid that are not developed as part of existing projects and promote their development. DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  12. Middleware Recommendations • Recommend a coherent technology suite to be deployed to regional centers. This has to be done taking into account the matching with the LHC requirements • Develop a plan for the evolution of this suite as new products become available and as new technologies mature • Work towards developing a long term support structure for the middleware technology DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  13. ARDA • The basic middleware development team. Joint European-US team, part of EGEE project, but including participation from VDT. • At least one team in each experiment, that takes part in adapting the analysis system of their experiment to use the basic middleware. • Providers of common HEP tools, such as POOL, SEAL, ROOT, GANGA and PROOF. • Users within experiments that will provide immediate feedback to the developers. DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  14. ARDA (con’t) • Service providers from regional centers who will be involved in deploying early versions of the middleware and analysis systems. • The participation of teams from other sciences, such as those participating in EGEE, is welcomed.

  18. DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  19. SW Tier 2 Status • Tier 2 Center • ATLAS management selected OU, LU, UT-Arlington, as a Tier 2 Center (Southwest Tier 2 Center) • Collaboration started on grid software development (PanDA) • OCHEP linux cluster will be deployed this year • Efforts will be made to increase NSF funding • Physics Analysis: OCHEP collaboration will begin on physics topics, building on Tevatron experience • b tagging • - t tagging • top physics • Higgs/SUSY searches DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  20. Production and Distributed Analysis (PanDA) DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  21. Questions for Discussion DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  22. Questions from Sergio • How would we fit in the general structure of LCG? • Will DOSAR VO become a distributed Tier 2 center? • Which would be our associated Tier 1? Fermilab? • What should we do to comply with Atlas and CMS requirements? • How will we share our resources between D0 and LHC? DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  23. Should DOSAR collaborate with other Tier 2 Centers? • CMS Tier 2C? • Brazil Tier 2 Federation? DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  24. Should DOSAR participate in LCG software development or deployment? • Common ATLAS-CMS projects? DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  25. Should DOSAR software efforts be part of larger collaborations? • OSG proposal? • PanDA and DIRAC? DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  26. Services: installed on high availability, centrally managed, servers • Agents: installed at various computing centres of institutes associated with the LHCb experiment • Clients: available to end users to submit, monitor, and retrieve jobs DIRAC- Distributed Infrastructure with Remote Agent Control DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  27. DIRAC (con’t) • It has been designed to be lightweight, robust, and scalable. This has been achieved by using a service oriented architecture and utilizing existing software for key components: 99% of DIRAC is written in Python, which provides a high performance, object oriented scripting language for rapid development, and maintenance. • MySQL database is used for persistency. Services make connections to various DBs to manage job state, monitoring information, and meta-data concerning grid files. • Condor ClassAds and Matchmaking are the basis of the scheduling strategy. This makes the best match between an available resource and a queued job. • Jabber Instant Messaging has been used to provide asynchronous, real-time, fault-tolerant monitoring and control capabilities to DIRAC Agents, Services, and Jobs. DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005

  28. Action Items • To be decided after discussion DOSAR Workshop, Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 16-17, 2005
