1. OSG Area Coordinator’s Report: Workload Management Maxim Potekhin BNL 631-344-3621 potekhin@bnl.gov

2. 2 Overview Workload Management Current Initiatives: extensions of the Panda job aggregation and submission service, in particular scalability and security enhancements  finalizing work on the Panda Pilot Factory, that would help in improving scalability; will proceed to deploy at BNL  integration work on MyProxy/GUMS/glexec; deployment at BNL being worked on; testing on EGEE platform planned in near future – will develop transparent pilot code for both OSG and EGEE  integration work done with new version of WS-GRAM, whereby a web server is a wrapper for the WS-GRAM gatekeeper and can be cloned as necessary, and load balanced, thus allowing us to significantly boost throughput Accomplishments Since Last Report  glexec-enabled Panda pilot tested, with VOMS proxies cached on FNAL MyProxy server  improved user-level access control in Panda  Panda has been/is successfully used in production and user analyses Issues / Concerns  Current priorities in the OSG Workload Management effort continue to be scalability and security  EGEE interoperability re: glexec?  To further improve scalability of Panda operations across multiple operating regions and VOs, the capability to partition the system across multiple instances while retaining coherent overall system management and monitoring is being implemented  This is being done in tandem with the introduction of high-availability load balancers to improve the scalability of individual instances, in particular the primary instance at BNL. This enables a single Panda Service to span several physical servers, transparently offering better scaling and fault tolerance.  Security activities include establishing a facility level (as opposed to Panda-based) audit trail, in the pilot- based job submission environment. (see the above on glexec/MyProxy pilots)
