GRID PRODUCTION PER SITE and VO RO-LCG WORKSHOP - IFIN-HH, MAGURELE, LCG VOs: 97.55% HEP total: 98.03% National VOs: 0.91% Other VOs: 1.06%

MONITORING SERVICES - NGI seems not be able, or not enough motivated to ensure reliable SAM services for RO-LCG - RO-LCG site admins of are not notified about the problems => development of a parallel system for SAM and real-time notification The service is provided through IFOPS VO, which plays a similar role as OPS. The tests are modified to replace the part wich publishes the results to a STOMP server with the gsi-ftp transfer to GriNFiC's WMS. The results are collected and published using Nagios.

MONITORING SERVICES RO-LCG WORKSHOP - IFIN-HH, MAGURELE,

MONITORING/ACCOUNTING TOOLS job monitoring (queued/exec) on each VO job accounting (megaSI2k) on each VO data trensfer RO-LCG WORKSHOP - IFIN-HH, MAGURELE, Tools for monitoring/accounting of jobs, network traffic for clusters & storage, developed in IFIN-HH

ROMANIAN TIER-2 FEDERATION RO-LCG Objective: Coordination of the provision of the pledged hardware resources and the necessary manpower for computational simulation and analysis necessary in ALICE, ATLAS, LHCb, together with the realization of the minimal Tier-2 SLAs assumed in the MoU with CERN. Today, RO-LCG benefits of its own monitoring services.

ORGANIZATION Romanian Association for the Promotion of the Advanced Computational Methods in Scientific Research (ARCAŞ) - organization of scientists, IT professionals, and institutions engaged in the use of high performance computing technologies and methods for scientific research. ARCAŞ is a Romanian private legal entity, apolitical, non-governmental, non-profit, which complies with the Romanian laws in force. The purpose of ARCAŞ is to unify and coordinate at national level the efforts of the scientific community towards the promotion and development of advanced computational methods and the realization of a sustainable computing infrastructure for scientific research. Founded in 2011 by a group of professionals from UAIC, IFIN-HH, ISS, UPB, UTCN, ROSA, UVT Main objectives: Support of the development and application of advanced computational methods in scientific research, such as HPC, Grid computing, and cloud computing Strengthening the role of the scientific research and education community in the coordination at the national level of the HPSC activity RO-LCG WORKSHOP - IFIN-HH, MAGURELE,

PROSPECTS RO-LCG Participate to intense activity in 2012 in order to find evidence of new physics Preparing for reprocessing and reanalysis of LHC data to be performed during the LHC stop GriNFiC Enlarge the user community Programing and/or implementation of new user tools ARCAS Increase number of members (persons and institutions) Take part actively to the coordination of the advanced computing activities, projects, etc RO-LCG WORKSHOP - IFIN-HH, MAGURELE,

FUNDING RO-LCG Grid infrastructure was realized in the framework of various national projects within programmes of the National Plan for Research, Development and Innovation 1 & 2 (PNCDI1 & PNCDI2), financed by the National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS) GRIDIFIN infrastructure was realized with funding from the GRICEFCO project, special structural funds call SOP IEC for Grid and RoEduNet The collaboration with LIT-JINR / Dubna in the framework of the Hulubei-Meshcheriakov programme ( ), theme Optimization Investigations of the GRID and Parallel Computing Facilities at LIT-JINR and Magurele Campus The operational support of the HPC infrastructure that will be accessed through GriNFiC benefits of the FP7 HP-SEE project High-Performance Computing Infrastructure for South East Europe’s Research Communities, RO-LCG WORKSHOP - IFIN-HH, MAGURELE,
