Project Month 9: TestBed 1 First "big deliverable" of DataGrid project working model of Grid with "what we've got" at end of September evaluation of TB1 due in January 2002 experiences provide input into development of software for TB2 (September 2002)

What will be in TB 1? RedHat 6.2 w/ latest kernel patches + Globus 2.0 resource broker service a job submission service (PBS, LSF, Condor interfaces) CLI to these services an information index (presumably this is metadata) bookkeeping and logging (for job submission) Grid Data Management Pilot (GDMP)
What will be in TB 1? (Cont'd) Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) database interface file replica catalogue API mass data transfer using GridFTP & RFIO
Schedule for TB 1 successful install at CERN (2 mini-farms) successful install at Lyon successful install at CERN-B (tens of machines successful installs at other large centers (e.g. NIKHEF) "dynamic addition" of further sites (?)
Schedule for Applications Datagrid Work Package 8 Technical Working Group gets applications from collaborations & installs on CERN testbed once they are working, they get installed on new testbeds upon request NIKHEF (JAT) responsible for LHCb app, unofficially involved with Alice PPR "user" usage will be limited until 2002
