  2. Outline • The IT Challenges Whitepaper • From Use Cases to openlab Projects • Process and Timeline Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  3. The IT Challenges Whitepaper Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  4. The Main IT Challenges Data acquisition (online) Computing platforms (offline) Data storage architectures Compute management and provisioning Networks and connectivity Medical applications Data analytics Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  5. The Use Cases • Total of 34 use cases in the Whitepaper • Online triggers and DAQ: 3 • Offline analysis and simulation: 4 • Data storage architectures: 4 • Compute management and provisioning: 5 • Networks and connectivity: 8 • Data analytics: 10 Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  6. The Use Cases • Data acquisition (online) • Online data filtering and processing • High-bandwidth (TB/s) networking for DAQ at LHC • Data transfer and storage • Computing platforms (offline) • Continuous benchmarking and evaluation of hardware platforms and software tools • Design and optimization of simulation and analysis software • Investigation of applications of GPUs and co-processors • Development of expertise and skills in multi-core parallel programming Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  7. The Use Cases • Data storage architectures • Evaluation of cloud storage for science cases • End-to-end implementation of data protection • NoSQL solutions for big data • Scalable namespaces and catalogues • Compute management and provisioning • Data analysis facility • Secure data federations • Remote management of analysis facility • Provisioning research clouds at scale • Hardware support for large-scale desktop computing Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  8. The Use Cases • Networks and connectivity • Ability to migrate public IP address between sites • Cross-site, on demand VLANs • Intelligent bandwidth optimisation • Latency-tolerant wide-area NFS • Layer-3 roaming across Wi-Fi and mobile telephony data services • Intelligent, self-adjusting and self-healing Wi-Fi networks • Wireless networks for data acquisition • Secure, high-bandwidth mobile communication technology Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  9. The Use Cases • Data analytics • The CERN Accelerator Logging Service • CERN industrial control systems • IT monitoring • Intelligent data placement • Network monitoring • The CERN Advanced Storage Manager (CASTOR) • ESA and serendipity in the data archives • Analytics and modelling for available improvement in the CERN FCC • Data analytics of scientific articles • Administrative information systems Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  10. Use Cases with Specific Interest to Intel • Data acquisition systems • Software optimization • Rackscale Architectures and Open Compute • Support for enterprise-level desktop computing Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  11. From Use Cases to openlab Projects Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  12. CERN openlab Projects • The use cases represent high-level requirements or areas of investigation • The next step is to define concrete projects out of the use cases • The goal is to have an initial set of concrete projects in the coming months Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  13. Representation and Coordination • The projects are the main units of technical activity • As broad or as specific as the project participants require as long as cost, effort and contributions are clear • CERN/Research Lab group and openlab sponsor representation needed across all projects • The CERN/Research Lab groups will host the projects • Needed for coordination, monitoring, review, etc. • Each project can be reviewed independently to be able to preserve confidentiality as necessary Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  14. Training and Education • Some of the projects may not be R&D-focused • Training or educational activities • Leverage existing training activities or facilities across openlab sponsors and research labs • Relationship with • The Summer Student program • Wider education/training activities (similar to the current ICE-DIP project) Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  15. Project Starting Date • Formally, January 1st, 2015 • New projects can be defined during openlab V • If activities do not fit in current projects • When new openlab members join • Projects can start earlier than January 2015 • When Openlab V Collaboration Agreement is in place • When project Statement of Work is defined Intel Visit - 8 July 2014

  16. Conclusion • CERN openlab V will be a very flexible and dynamic phase with a low level of entry for new partners, wider CERN community participation, wider Research Lab participation, and possible EU contributions • The challenges CERN and hence our partners face remain formidable Intel Visit - 8 July 2014
