Update Update (to 10/10/02)(to 10/10/02)

DataGrid Q7 Update

• ATLAS taskforce– v. useful, ongoing, other

experiments

• Releases– Avoid “Big Bang” approach– Separate “Prod” & “Dev”

• 2nd EU Review– 1 month earlier

• Active in FP6 planning

• Domestic– Q7 delivered~150% contract– No major issues

Applications Q7 Update• Review of Project Map

Milestones

(DB, PC, NB – 9/10/02)– No major issues

– Feedback to experiments initiated

• GridPP-LCG-DataGrid applications overlap

• e.g. persistency framework• e.g. future milestones

Summary (by Project Map areas)Summary (by Project Map areas)

• Grid success is fundamental for PP

1. CERN = LCG, Grid as a Service.

2. DataGrid = Middleware built upon Globus and Condor-G. Testbed 1 deployed.

3. Applications – complex, need to interface to middleware.

LHC Analyses – ongoing feedback/development.

Other Analyses have immediate requirements. Integrated using Globus, Condor, EDG/SAM tools

4. Infrastructure = Tiered computing to the physicist desktop:

Scale in UK? 1 PByte and 2,000 distributed CPUs

GridPP in Sept 2004 5. Integration = ongoing with UK e-

science…6. Dissemination• Co-operation required with other

disciplines/industry7. Finances – under control, but need to

start looking to Year 4..• Year 1 was a good starting point.

First Grid jobs have been submitted.. • Looking forward to Year 2. Web

services ahead.. but• Experiments will define whether this

experiment is successful (or not)

• Reverse Engineering (C++ code analysis and restructuring; coding standards) => abstraction of existing code to UML architecture diagrams

• Language choice

(currently 10 used in DataGrid)– Java = C++ - - “features” (global variables, pointer

manipulation, goto statements, etc.).– Constraints (performance, libraries, legacy code)

• Testing (automation, object oriented testing)

• Industrial strength?

Tier-1/A developmentTier-1/A development

In the next six months the main targets will be:

• Integration within the Grid (or Grids).

• Improving monitoring and error-handling.

• Developing support structure including longer hours of cover.

• Optimising the service for LHC Data Challenges.

• Completing next year’s hardware procurement.

• Migration to UK e-Science CA (start October 30th)

• Beyond this, we recognise support of the Tier-1/A centre as our highest priority for future funding

• Rapid middleware deployment /testing

• Integrated US-EU applications development e.g. BaBar+EDG

• Roll-out document for all sites in the UK (Core Sites, Friendly Testers, User Only).

• Testbed up and running at 16 sites in the UK

• Tier-1 Deployment• 250 GridPP Certificates issued

(personal + server)• First significant use of Grid by an

external user (LISA simulations) in May 2002

• Web page development (GridSite)

• Issues for Year 2• Status: 28 Oct 2002 15:22 GMT

– monitor and improve testbed deployment efficiency short (10 min) and long-term (monthly)…

• Importance of EU-wide development of middleware and integration with US-led approach

• Integrated Testbed for use/testing by all applications

• Common “integration” layer between middleware and application software

• Integrated US-EU applications development

• Tier-1 Grid Production Mode• Tier-2 Definitions and Deployment• Integrated Tier-1 + Tier-2 Testbed• Transfer to UK e-Science CA• Integration with other UK projects

SWOT AnalysisSWOT Analysis

• Strengths– Excellent people, sense of community, well resourced, well

respected, integrated into EU development, significant role in US development, good website

• Weaknesses– Slow to get going, have not convinced the UK PP community

yet, limited industry involvement

• Opportunities– Further funding, potential for wide impact (talks, demos etc),

sharing of resources by all experiments

• Threats– EDG software delays, UK PP community no longer support us

Reporting to OversightReporting to Oversight(and Steering) Committee(and Steering) Committee

• Exceeding 1st year targets

• Delivering.. and seen to be delivering via the Project Map

• 1st year Grid and PP success

The Project has now completed one year of operations with almost all posts filled in the UK and interviews completed at CERN. There is active engagement across 16 UK sites, with more than 120 Grid users on 130 servers underpinned by a strong testbed team and a successful website. Valuable contributions are being made to Grid middleware and interfaces to each of the applications are being developed. DataGrid release1.2 is currently being deployed. The project is widely recognised and engaged with the UK e-Science programme and is starting to make an impact in developments within the International Grid community. Project and resource management is under control, the Tier 1/A centre is recognised as making significant impact Internationally and a plan for Tier-2 site development has been prepared. We approach year 2 expecting to build upon these initial foundations and extend the Grid in terms of functionality (via middleware development), robustness (through the testbed development), accountability (necessary to ensure sharing of distributed resources), accessibility (via integration of farms to all experiments and a wider user base) and risk management (via the establishment of a risk register). This summary highlights various issues with respect to project management, resource monitoring, LHC Computing Grid (LCG) development at CERN, DataGrid and application developments, Tier-1/A and UK central support issues, Tier-2 development plan and dissemination.
