WLCG Collaboration Meeting Finalisation of Technical Evolution (TEG) reports Exciting new development in ‘Feasibility Study on Common Analysis Framework 5

Pledges of 2012 have been met Pledges of 2013: new inputs froms CRSG (C-RRB, April 2012) Resource pledges

8 Deployed Equipment (May 2012) Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Madrid) Instituto de Física de Altas Energías (Barcelona) Instituto de Física Corpuscular (Valencia) –The Spanish ATLAS Tier-2 is integrated in the WLCG Project (Worldwide LHC Computing GRID) and follows the ATLAS Computing Model 50% 25% UAM IFAE IFICTIER-2 CPU (HS (3.325) (3.325) (6.650) ( ) Disk (TB) 432 (588) 775 (588) (1.176) (2.352) Details given at the MB Meeting of 14 February (collected by Gonzalo for the 3 experiments)

5 Tier-2 Operations Meting and cloud meeting every 2 weeks Review of the status of sites and cloud coordination Tier-2 Reliability has suffered some inestabilities 3.- ES-ATLAS-T2 Reliability/Availability Reliability/ Availability

Status in May

Present Project Issues a) Monte Carlo Production

12

13 PVSS (José del Peso’s talk) –SCADA System (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition T2 are becoming more important in the Mesh Computing Model T2 directely (T2D) Adaptation plans: convergence of the different systems chosen in the sites Last news about Tier-2 connectivity To evaluate this tool in order to Decide its implementation in our T2 b) Implementation of an Expert System in the ES-ATLAS-T2 It seems to be good and we need to continue doing the effort c) Present Role of our Tier-2 d) Tier-2 Connectivity

14 M & O effort Class 3 shifts Coordination e) Involvement of ES-ATLAS-T2 in Core Computing Tasks To get more visibility in ATLAS Collaboration

Publications & Talks Developments and progress of the LHC GRID Computing obtained in the framework of the Tier-2 Project have been presented in different conferences, workshops, etc: –IS GRID de Taiwan. Presentación de Alvaro Fernández –CHEP2012: 3 posters The more relevant outcomes have been published in specialized reviews: Proceedings of conferences/workshops/ets Main objective: to publish in indexed reviews

‘ Harvest’ of FPA2007 project Scientific-technical publications: 9 Difusion of results:29 PhD thesis: 2 Other contributions: 8 Comments: 16 Very good publication rate Improvement in the ranking of the contributions….. But try to publish in scientific reviews with a higher impact factor

17 CHEP contributions (verificar) 1- The evolving role of Tier2s in ATLAS with the new computing and Data Model S. González de la Hoz 2.- ‘Model of shared ATLAS Tier-2 and Tier-3 facilities in EGI/gLite GRID Flavour’ S. González de la Hoz 3.- ‘ATLAS Tier-3 in IFIC-Valencia Analysis Facility’ Miguel Villaplana

18 We are doing reasonably well… … but we face many issues to be ‘up & running’, to maintain the commitments… –We loose experts: Carlos Borrego, Juanjo Pardo, Alex Lamas,… Problem : to maintain a good quality of service at the sites –Tier-2 are becoming more important in the new Computing Model –Challenging issues –More initiatives, visibility and influence are needed (in HEP community). For the next Presential Meeting (Barcelona ?) in November: –Santi will replace me as IFIC IP –To prepare the issues for the joint Spanish LHC Computing Grid meeting (with Paco del Aguila) 7.- Conclusiones & Perspectives (2012)

19 “New trends”: Cloud Computing & Virtualization: –Cloud Computing: In the last 3 years a considerable effort has been devoted in using the Cloud Computing in LHC framework –HELIX NEBULA GRID and Cloud computing can been seen as complementary in some way –Virtualization
