2 2 Outline Quick LCLS Overview Availability and downtime vs. time Downtime per system and planned upgrades Tuning and Availability Operational Availability Goals Questions ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

3 3 Operated by Stanford University for the US Department of Energy Study the molecular world in ways never before possible 3 of 6 LCLS scientific instruments fully commissioned By February 2011 1,162 unique scientists from 28 countries have submitted 427 proposals to use LCLS Typically two experiments are scheduled for a five day user run. LCLS FEL at SLAC ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

4 4 A Tool for the Global Science Community ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011 “By 2013 six instruments will give researchers unprecedented tools for a broad range of research in material science, medicine, chemistry, energy science, physics, biology and environmental science” (LCLS fact sheet: http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/com/docs/lcls_fact_sheets.pdfhttp://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/com/docs/lcls_fact_sheets.pdf )

COMM: Hutch Commissioning Programs. Run I: 92.8% Photon, 97.0% Hardware Run II: 92.5% Photon, 97.2% Hardware Runs I and II Photon Availability combined “Tuning” and “Configuration Change” as one category.

8 8 LCLS Availability Terms Photon Availability: (Delivered + User Off + Configuration Change) / Scheduled On Hardware Availability: (Delivered + User Off + Configuration Change + Tuning)/ Scheduled On Scheduled On: Delivered + User Off + Configuration Change + Tuning + Down ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

9 9 Photon or Operational Availability Short term performance as important as long term. Users scheduled for machine time for five day intervals. ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

10 10 Trends Tuning, Downtime and Configuration Change time improved during the user run. Tuning and Configuration Change time reduction likely due to increased operational efficiencies. Downtime reduction not fully explained. Further analysis (Weibull analysis) needed. Notice correlation between tuning time and down time. (Down time leads to tuning time).

12 12 MTBM and MDT Mean Time Between Maintenance Includes Corrective Maintenance and it does not include Preventive Maintenance. We accept that there will be preventive maintenance scheduled. This MTBM number should better reflect “Maintainability” when it most matters: During beam delivery to users. Only Selected Systems shown. See conference paper for full list. Data is 6 month snapshot (69.7 operating days).

13 13 Tuning Reduction Task Force Members from Physics, Operations and Software groups. Working on reducing tuning time during Machine Development and Repair Days recovery. Expect this effort to also reduce tuning time during User runs. Tuning reduced operational availability by ~2% ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

14 14 Tuning Task Force Identify how tuning time is spent; Mine data from electronic logbook. Talk to Operators. Measure execution time of software procedures. Understand Machine configuration reproducibility. Ongoing development of software to simplify and automate tuning procedures. ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

16 16 LCLS Availability Goal is 95% That is 95% Operational Availability to Users. Before run III, goals did not take Tuning into account. A tuning budget (~2%) will be included in the availability plan. This sets the hardware availability goal at 97%. ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

18 18 Conclusion LCLS science program is ongoing. Two year hardware availability ~ 97% Photon availability of 95% realizable. Multiple upgrade projects underway. Further analysis needed to better understand long term time dependence of individual subsystem and component failure rate. ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011

19 19 Thank You! Questions. ARW 2011/LCLS Availability Cape Town, April 2011 If we use failure rates as a metric for determining which systems (and therefore groups) will receive attention and/or resources; are we setting up a system where failure is rewarded? In a climate of decreasing resources and budget constrains: Is there a model that correlates Availability and Reliability with Budget Allowance?
