3. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP1 Financial Summary Balance of £3.6m attributed to GridPP2 To be confirmed by PPARC Dissemination officer Grant Planned. £56,283 EDG cost claim £18,349 (Est.) Manchester. £25,000 (Est.) Bristol.

4. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP1 Financial Summary No significant changes to categories FY03 hardware spend slipped to FY04

5. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP2 Financial Summary Total includes £102,077 carried forward from GridPP1. Funds are fully allocated.

6. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP1 Effort Summary Approximately 38.7 FTE/year funded in GridPP1 and approximately 48.2 FTE/year effort reported against deliverables.

7. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP2 Effort Summary Note-1: Not possible to estimate Note-2: May fall once Tier-2 posts are in place; expected about 4. Note-3: Reduced from 3.6 in previous planning. Note-4: Dissemination officer and Production Manager. 62.5 FTE/year (c.f. GridPP1 38.7). Tier-2 hardware posts currently being filled.

11. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP2 ProjectMap

12. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report GridPP2 ProjectMap 253 Milestones, 112 Monitoring Metrics at present. Work to be done: LCG area to be defined. Production Grid details refined. Some metrics are not yet finalised. Specific risks and dependencies to be included.

13. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Risk Register Currently using GridPP1 Register. 13 Changes made: 2 Risks added 5 risks reduced 5 risks increased 1 adjusted 2 previously High risks were reduced. R10_GridPP (S.linux) R14_LCG (Stability) 1 risk elevated to High. R32_INF (Security)

14. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Tier-1 Hardware The issues here are: The “fair” allocation of Tier-1 hardware International MOU’s and other less formal commitments The Disk-CPU balance and the real cost of Tape The absolute scale. Enter the Spreadsheet

15. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Tier-1 Hardware  Table of “M&O Authors.  Future information sketchy.  To preserve unitarity ought to:  be an FTE count  to come from groups not experiments.

16. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Tier-1 Hardware Table of “Splits”: CPU/Disk/Tape ratio. Future information is sketchy.

17. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Tier-1 Hardware Table of “Strategic Weights.”  Movement of M&O authors.  Future stategic importance.  Other factors? Clearly controversial… … requesting input.

18. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Tier-1 Hardware Output – guidelines for the User Board within which to perform actual allocation. Output – guidelines within which international MOU’s can be discussed. Note current lack of information on absolute scale.

19. D. Britton12/Jan/2005Project Manager’s Report Tier-1 Hardware We would like the CB’s input to this Hardware allocation process. A breakdown from each institute of estimated M&O FTE/experiment for 2005 to 2008 would significantly reduce the current influence of the “strategic weights”. Ideally, we would like the blessing of the CB for this approach and then, with some added assessment of the actual scale of the hardware, present to PPARC for consideration in the context of both the international MOU’s (BaBar, LHC, etc) and for post-GridPP planning.
