  1. The State of DOSAR DOSAR VI Workshop at Ole Miss April 17-18 2008 Dick Greenwood Louisiana Tech University

  2. What is DOSAR ? Distributed Organization for Scientific & Academic Research • Community and campus based grid organization • Its primary goal is spreading/enabling grid use • DOSAR in Korean is the God of Martial Arts • DOSAR evolved from the DØ Remote Analysis effort • Coordinated group efforts in DØ simulation/reconstruction/production Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  3. History Ancient times: DØ Remote Computing Era • SAM, DØ data management system, in place: pre-2001 • DØ Remote Analysis Model Proposed: Nov. 2001 • Proposal for RAC accepted and endorsed by DØ: Aug. 2002 • UTA awarded MRI for RAC: June 2002 • Formation of DØSouthern Analysis Region (D0SAR 1.0): Apr. 2003 • D0SAR DØ MC Production begins • Activation of 1st US (Regional Analysis Center) RAC at UTA: Nov. 2003 • Formation and activation of DOSAR Grid for MC: Apr. 2004 Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  4. DØ Remote Analysis Model (DØRAM) Central Analysis Center (CAC) Normal Interaction Communication Path Occasional Interaction Communication Path …. RAC RAC ... … IAC IAC IAC IAC …. …. DAS DAS DAS DAS Fermilab Regional Analysis Centers • Data and Resource hub • MC Production • Data processing • Data analysis Institutional Analysis Centers Desktop Analysis Stations Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  5. History Modern times: beyond DØ • Transition to • Distributed Organization for Scientific and Academic Research, DOSAR: Apr. 2005 (DOSAR 2.0) • Active engagements with LHC experiments began • DOSAR VOMS installed at UTA: May 2005 • DOSAR registered as a VO in OSG: July 2005 • ATLAS distributed production and analysis system, • Panda, implemented at OU and UTA: Jan. 2006 • All groups engaged in LHC experiments Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  6. Who is DOSAR ? • First Generation IAC’s • University of Texas at Arlington • Louisiana Tech University • Langston University • University of Oklahoma • Tata Institute (India) • Second Generation IAC’s • Cinvestav, Mexico • SPRACE - São Paulo Regional Analysis Center, Universidade Estadual Paulista; Brazil • University of Kansas • Kansas State University • Third Generation IAC’s • University of Arizona, Tucson • Rice University • Ole Miss, University of Mississippi • Iowa State University • Louisiana State University • Oklahoma State University • … Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  7. Goals As its needs increase faster than funding, the scientific community should try to tap into these un(under)-used resources but, there are many barriers to utilizing these resources (technical, financial, manpower, …) (strength in collaboration) DOSAR seeks to bring together institutions which can/must use GRID technology to solve their computing problems (esp smaller institutions) (member institutions should serve as nucleation points for regional/statewide GRIDS) DOSAR should, as necessary, serve as a representative/liason for these institutions to the greater GRID community DOSAR should help enable maximal use of available resources at the member institutions

  8. Accomplishments • LTU brought in Super-Mike and additional resources for DØ & ATLAS • UTA plays leadership role in HiPCAT, Texas Grid community; Leading BioTex grid, working with chemists, geologists and medical professionals • LTU Working as a leading institution in LONI, Louisiana Grid community • OU and LU have been working toward creating “The Oklahoma state grid”, working closely with OSCER • OU has successfully developed a Condor pool of pc’s running CoLinux on Windows. UTA is developing a similar system. • SPRACE leads Brazilian national grid effort w/ funds!!! Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  9. DØ Production Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  10. Breakdown of DOSAR Contribution to DØ Production Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  11. DOSAR Weekly Production by site (common scale) Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  12. DOSAR Weekly Production by site Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  13. Some Successes in DOSAR Funding • Funds from NSF MRI for UTA – RAC: 2002 • Construction of the first U.S. university based RAC • EPSCoR + University funds for LTU – IAC: 2003 • Increase IAC compute resources • Brazilian National Funds for SPRACE: 2003 & 5 • Construction of an extensive RAC • EPSCoR funds for OSU, OU & LU: 2004 • Compute resources for IAC • Human resource for further development • Renewal submitted • LTU at part of LONI wins support from State of LA: 2005 • OU, LU and UTA, together with UNM, won a joint ATLAS Tier 2 site: 2005 • LTU won a joint MRI funds (PetaShare): 2006 Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  14. DOSAR Strategy • Maximally exploit existing software and utilities to enable as many sites to contribute to the DØ and LHC experiments • Continue to participate in DØ MC and Reco activities in opportunistic manner • Focus on LHC experiments • Support OSG move into the global grid framework • Engage in and contribute significantly in OSG • Engage in realization of computing grid beyond HEP • Work closely with campus and state computing people to bring grid onto campuses • Bring DOSAR specific computing jobs to the grid • Want to make grid usage more commonplace Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  15. Working with OSG • We accomplished virtually everything we wanted in DØ • J. Snow (LU) is the leader in MC production • Bring fresh expertise to OSG • Expertise in monitoring solutions such as Ganglia and MonALISA  UTA working on Panda ATLAS monitoring together with CMS experiment • LTU continues to investigate HA applications • DOSAR now has seat on OSG Council • Possibly engage non-HEP science use of DOSAR? Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  16. Developments Since Last Workshop Ole Miss is ready to resume MC production! • Got OSG v0.6.0 working (October 2007) • • Fixed Condor configuration (November 2007) • • Running OSG Jobs (11/2007 - 2/2008) • • Power Failure “broke” Condor (February 2007 • • Upgraded Condor (April 2007) • • Reconfigured Farm and Upgraded OSG (April 2007) Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  17. Further Developments DOSAR Members Very Active in LHC Preparations for Data Taking • All ATLAS members engaged in Tier 2 and Tier 3 FDR activities • Jim Cochran (ISU)leads the US ATLAS FDR effort and was recently appointed Chair of the U.S. ATLAS Analysis Support Activities • Sao Paulo Groups (UNESP & UFABC) playing similar Tier 2 role in CMS preparations Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss

  18. Conclusions • DOSAR is an example of a successful grid organization • Critically important asset to DØ • All groups actively engaged in LHC experiments • - (and preparations for data taking!) • Using DOSAR resources for DØ and LHC data analyses and production • Closely engaged in OSG activities • Continue Desktop Cluster deployment, CONDOR pools • Provide leadership role in state-wide grid efforts • Expanding membership and scope Dick Greenwood DOSAR VI at OleMiss
