The Experiments – progress and status Roger Barlow GridPP7 Oxford 2 nd July 2003
ATLAS MC production on the way (AtCom) Generic configuration editor JOE Ongoing work on packaging, installation tools, job submission and replica catalogs Low-level activity on Data Challenge Move on from EDG and prepare for LCG1 – delay leads to delay in deliverables
CMS Reconstruction code ORCA gridified Progress with POOL, Guido, BOSS and R-GMA, EDG and LCG0 testbeds Problems: Grid-standard replica manager unsatisfactory for >2000 files. Threatening deliverables Install SRB at ATLAS datastore – it works!
Ganga Prototype presented to users got negative response Streamlined and simplified, CLI enhanced Revised version approved by users (specially LHCb) 1 month workshop at LBL to cut across problems of line management at different institutes and implement software bus design
LHCb POOL file catalog with mySQL Monte Carlo production Monitoring and work-flow Late deliverable – online histogramming – too specific, being revised
BaBar Prototype job submission and retrieval (x2) Held up by unreliability of Resource Broker and by changes in computing model Thrashing Tier 1/A
CDF Good progress on MC production And on CDF production system Delays caused by RAL testbed Rick St Denis heading SAM group and very busy!
DØ UK Production MC in good shape. Working testbed. Main problem is the merging of output files from many nodes. MC storage Karlsruhe to FNAL Gridification of SAM continues Runjob – joint project with CMS – taken up by CDF
UKQCD Phase I – Datagrid – complete –Replica manager managing replicas of several thousand files across several sites. Globus/LDAP –Linking up with International Lattice Grid Phase II – ComputeGrid – underway –Using EDG components. Thwarted by Condor not being open-source
Summary Much has been done Much is being done Much remains to be done
