2. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04Introduction Tevatron –Less data than LHC, but still PBs/experiment and growing –Running experiments SAM (Sequential Access to Metadata) –Well developed metadata and distributed data replication system –Developed by DØ & FNAL-CD JIM ( Job Information and Monitoring) –handles job submission and monitoring (all but data handling) –SAM + JIM →SAMGrid – computational grid Runjob –handles job workflow management See http://cdinternal.fnal.gov/RUNIIRev2004/runIIMP.asp

3. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 SAMGrid Architecture

4. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 SAM plots Up to 200TB/month Over 2 PB in last yr CDF usage now similar -have just topped the PB Active SAM sites 40 DØ, 26 CDF (DØ usage)

5. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04SAMGrid-plots http://samgrid.fnal.gov:8080/ (09/09/04) JIM: Active execution sites: 11DØ, 1 CDF in testing

7. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 DØ – Production - MC All DØ MC always produced off-site SAMGrid now default (went into production in mar 04) –Based on request system and jobmanager-mc_runjob –MC software package retrieved via SAM –Currently running at (multiple) sites in Cz, Fr, UK, USA (10 in total + FNAL) more on way, inc central farm –Average production efficiency ~90% –Average inefficiency due to grid infrastructure ~1-5% For more details, see –GridPP10 DØ talk by Peter Love –http://www-d0.fnal.gov/computing/grid/deployment-issues.html

8. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 P14 Autumn 2003 –25M events in UK –Based around mc_runjob –Distributed computing rather than Grid –UK effort key to project success P17 Autumn 2004 –x 10 larger, use of db proxy servers –SAMGrid as default –Use LCG resources DØ – Production - Reprocessing

9. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 DØ – Production - LCG Increasing effort to ensure SAMGrid / LCG interoperability –MC generated on EDG/LCG and other shared resources (inc Imperial, RAL) “by hand” –Demo of sam_client functionality on LCG at London workshop in Apr –Will use LCG resources p17 data reprocessing All Nikhef MC produced this way

10. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 (DØ –) Runjob mc_runjob currently used by SAMGrid for MC and reprocessing DØrunjob - the rewrite Joint CDF, CMS, DØ, FNAL-CD project Base classes from common Runjob package DØrunjob available this autumn –Will incorporate Sandbox as a separate module For details see: http://projects.fnal.gov/runjob/ Runjob CDFRunjobCMSRunjobDØRunjob

11. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 CDF – production - I See Mòrag Burgon-Lyon’s GridPP 10 talk for details Goal 1: 25% of computing offsite by June 2004 –Done, using DCAF and SAM DCAF = de-centralised CDF analysis farm, core of 7 sites, more on way Goal 2: 50% by June 2005, using Grid –Resources being identified / pledged JIM deployment –Originally planned for Oct 15 th –Problematic, look at grid3 as possible alternative

12. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 CDF – production - II Migration of DCAF sites to Condor Migration to SAM V6 –Switch to new internal dbserve code under test –Roll out to global sites expected soon FroNTier - new way to serve database contents to remote institutes –Should lower load on central CDF Oracle servers Studying methods to lower load and avoid fragmentation on remote file servers due to simultaneous network writes

13. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 (CDF -) SAMTV SAM TV used by CDF & DØ to monitor SAM and SAM stations –Currently created from log files –Version in dev created from MIS database, filled by new MIS server

14. GridPP11 Liverpool Sept04 Summary / plans SAM & SAMGrid critical –GridPP key part of effort SAMGrid, default for –MC production –Data reprocessing from autumn –Analysis to follow dØ tools, dØrte, sandboxing Interoperability –Good progress DØDØ 25% of computing off-site –Most with DCAF/SAM –GridPP effort key part of effort Increase to 50% for June 2005 –More DCAF installations Encourage user migration UKLight -10Gbit/s - “data –reprocessing” CDF
