1 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 1 NorthGrid Status Andrew McNab High Energy Physics University of Manchester

2 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 2 NorthGrid members

3 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 3 Membership Daresbury, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield Draft MoU, but not formally ratified yet. Significant hardware already exists: Expected resources in 2004:

4 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 4 Lancaster 26 new 1.1kSI2k dual-processors, end-Sept 03 3 TB new raid array at same time £420k for new hardware in the Spring (SRIF), expect by summer 04 (Approved by HEFC) There is also a £0.5M NWGrid facility being installed –Discussion of joint Grid gatekeepers –Might help the EGEE service to other disciplines –Would require a pay-back! EDG 2.0 being installed

5 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 5 Liverpool New facility now installed –940 3GHz/1GB/128GB PIV Dell Nodes –SCALIManage installed, RH9 –Software for LHCb in ~2 weeks? –Online for physics about 1st October 20 CPU CDF facility now installed, Fermi RH Linux and 5.9TB disk MAP memory upgrade (270 nodes) EDG 2.0 being installed

6 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 6 Manchester Existing BaBar (80 nodes), DZero (60 nodes) and Gridfarm (20 nodes) equipment in use. Outcome of SRIF/SRIF replacement funding of dedicated HEP facility not officially announced. The GridPP-funded Tier2 half-post for NorthGrid is currently under offer –Other half will come from e-Science North West. Installing EDG 2.0 on Gridfarm testbed machines.

7 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 7 Sheffield A partner of the White Rose Grid SRIF bid (with Leeds) will be sent to HEFC by end of September –400 CPU, 10 TB storage; ~50% for HEP. 50 processors running, 100 by December (2-2.4 GHz) for HEP –EDG 2.0 being installed

8 Andrew McNabNorthGrid, GridPP8, 23 Sept 2003Slide 8 Summary Significant resources already online We have even more in the pipeline Tier2 half-post being filled. Good links with other bodies: –North West Development Agency –North West e-Science Centre –White Rose Grid
