U.S. ATLAS Testbed Status Report Kaushik De Univ. of Texas at Arlington BNL Workshop, May 2002
Outline 2 week assessment Goals Planning Work organization teams details recent accomplishments SC2002: 6 month plan 12 month plan
Assessment Testbed Strengths Testbed Weaknesses Excellent package manager Information service plans ready Advanced grid portal Database manager ready Lots of existing hardware Experienced people Testbed Weaknesses Middleware outdated - Globus 1.1.3 Waiting for other middleware No applications, no interfaces 8 independent sites Need concrete plans for deployment Need concrete short term goals
Testbed Goals Demonstrate success of grid computing model for HEP in data production in data access in data analysis Develop & deploy grid middleware and applications layered structure ease of deployment Evolve into fully functioning scalable distributed tiered grid
Testbed Plans UTA Workshop as launch-pad SC2002 as milestone for testbed middleware upgrade to identify tasks & organize effort + resources SC2002 as milestone demonstrate real working HEP grid applications demonstrate middleware and tools developed for HEP component integration demonstrate inter-operability among experiments
