  1. CNAP S.L.LloydUK HEP Sysman Meeting21 March 2000 • What is CNAP? • CNAP Structure and Membership • What does CNAP do? • Interaction with Sysman • What is the future of CNAP? CNAP

  2. CNAP Terms of Reference Computing and Networking Advisory Panel for Particle Physics • Set up in 1995 by PPC • “To monitor and review the provision of computing and networking in the UK for particle physics research” • Interface between Institutes and providers of networking, data storage and computing power • Reports to PPC (Annual Report) and wider community (Town Meeting etc) CNAP

  3. CNAP Structure HEPCCC High Energy Physics Computing Coordination Committee PPC/PPARC RAL ITD Information Technology Department HTASC HEP Technical Advisory Sub-Committee Data Storage Sub-Group CNAP ‘Grid’ Steering Committee? PPNCG Particle Physics Network Coordinating Group Sysman System Managers Sub-Group CUF Computer Users Forum CNAP

  4. CNAP Membership • S.L.Lloyd QMW Chairman 2001 • T.Adye RAL Central Fac/CUF 2002 • P.Clarke UCL Chair PPNCG 2000 • R.Cranfield UCL Chair Sysman 2000 • A.Halley Glasgow Computing Coord 2002 • D.Newbold Bristol Coopted (CMS) 2002 • P.Renton Oxford Chair Data Store 2000 • L.Thompson Sheffield Institutes 2002 In attendance: A.Coates PPARC P.Jeffreys RAL PPARC SLA S.Fisher RAL Training D.Kelsey RAL Chair HTASC A.Flavell Glasgow UK HTASC Rep R.Middleton RAL Secretary J.Gordon RAL ITD CNAP

  5. What does CNAP do? • Meets twice a year (this Thursday) • Reports annually to Town Meeting (IoP Conference in Edinburgh) • Writes an Annual Report for PPARC • Reports to each PPC meeting via Chairman CNAP

  6. What does CNAP do? • ‘Manages’ Central Computing Budget (£750k + 9SY at CLRC) • Decides Central Computing Policy • Recently - Installed SUN for BaBar • Soon - Decide future of NT Farm • Coordinates interactions with and between other computing resources • JIF/JREI etc • Grid… CNAP

  7. What does CNAP do? • Reviews HEP Computing in UK • White books • Tries to predict future demand • Grant request Form G • PPESP Review of experiments (Reviewing questions) • Advises other HEP Committees • Soon - Advice to Grants Committee on purchase of VC and Linux Servers CNAP

  8. Interaction with Sysman • Topics from Sysman brought to CNAP via Sysman Chairman • e.g.Security • Concerns raised by System Managers • Discussed at CNAP • Raised at PPC and Town Meeting • Letter written to all Group Leaders CNAP

  9. Future of CNAP • At moment Chairman of Grid Steering Committee is a member of CNAP • However as Grid grows - not clear how relationship should develop • Probably CNAP retains advisory role but management of resources moves to new Grid structure • Clearly need to retain contact with users (Sysman and CUF now) CNAP
