2. Members (2010) Japan(KEK) M. Nozaki T. Sasaki Y. Watase G. Iwai Y. Kawai S.Yashiro Y. Iida France(CC-IN2P3) D. Boutigny G. Rahal S. Reynaud F. Hernandez J.Y. Nief Y. Cardenas P. Calvat 2FJPPL 2010

3. Activities in 2009-2010 Cooperative development of SAGA and iRODS – Please see following slides Workshop at Lyon on February 17 – Status report on each side – SAGA and iRODS development discussion – 3 Japanese visited Lyon FJPPL+other KEK budget One had to cancel the trip because the person was suspected to be influenced by a swein flu 3FJPPL 2010

4. Common concern GRID interoperability – How we build the world wide distributed computing infrastructure in HEP and related fields? Different middleware are deployed and operated in the different region Data handling in smaller experiments – Should be simple, but efficient enough 4FJPPL 2010

5. SAGA Virtualization of Grid/cloud resources and Grid interoperability 5FJPPL 2010

6. International collaboration and computing resource e-Science infrastructures are developed and operated independently and not compatible each other Japan:NAREGI United states: globus and VDT(OSG) Europe: gLite(EGEE), ARC, UNICORE How they can share the resources? How they can develop the software together? Local computing resource Grid Interoperability and SAGA will be the key. 6FJPPL 2010

7. SAGA Simple API for Grid Applications – The API to provide the single method to access the distributed computing infrastructure, such as “cloud”, GRID, local batch schedulers and independent local machines. API definition itself is language independent – This is the technology for a world size collaboration, such as Belle-II or ILC Different institutes depends on different technologies – There are implementations in two languages JAVA – JSAGA: CC-IN2P3 – JAVA SAGA C++ (SAGA-C++): KEK and others – Python and C languages bindings are also available 7FJPPL 2010

8. The aim of the project Exchange the knowledge and information Converge two implementations in the future 8FJPPL 2010

19. Client tools  Client tools  i-commands  JUX (GUI Application)  Davis (Web Application)

20. Client tools  JUX (Java Universal eXplorer)  Works on Linux, Windows and Mac Looks like windows explorer Looks like windows explorer  visually confirm the file structuring  copy the files by drag and drop  not able to recognize the replicated files  not able to handle Japanese character

21. Client tools  Davis (A webDAV-iRODS/SRB)  running Jetty and Apache on iRODS server Useful for a small laboratory in a university Useful for a small laboratory in a university  don’t need a special software at client side  use only https port  not able to upload/download some files at the same time  not support parallel transfer

22. KEK wiki page  Wiki page in Japanese for end users  what is iRODS  how to use at KEK  how to install  how to make rule  how to make MS  … http://wiki.kek.jp/display/irods/

23. MLF@J-PARC storage raw data 20~50TB/year in each groups raw data simulateddata MLF : Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility

24. Use case Scenario Storage@KEKStorage@J-PARC raw data simulateddata  Raw data is used once  Simulated data can be accessed from collaborators raw data  After processing, move to KEK storage raw data simulateddata  Replicate between J-PARC and KEK  After a certain term, delete from J-PARC  Keep it forever at KEK  Data preservation and distribution for MLF groups

25. iCAT From J-PARC to Collaborators J-PARC (Tokai) KEK (Tsukuba) Collaborators (Internet) Storage Storage HPSS iRODSServer iRODS Client DataServer iRODSServer Web Client iRODS Client HPSS Client(?) iCAT iRODSServer

26. Rules and Micro-services  Main Rules 1.All created data should be replicated to the KEKCC storage 10 min later. 2.All row data older than 1 week should be removed from the JPARC storage, with checking the existence of their replicated data in the KEKCC storage before removing. 3.All simulated data should be removed in the same way but the period of time can be changed by each research group.

27. Rules and Micro-services  Created a new micro-service  To detect the files matched with the specified age.  Implemented by Adil Hasan at University of Liverpool  Other experiments use the different rule  Send the files for successful runs only  Check file sizes and age

28. Client Speed Performance  Data transfer between KEK and J-PARC HPSS iput: 43MB/s iget: 40MB/s pftp put: 26MB/s pftp get: 33MB/s scp: 24MB/s scp: 4MB/s J-PARCKEK iRODSserver iRODS ssh HPSS workserver

29. New server setup  Set up parallel iRODS servers  Before March: running 1 iRODS on 2 machine (active & standby)  Now: running separate iRODS on each machine (backup each other)  run the iRODS for each experiment  in order to change the writing user to HPSS for each experiment group  in order to avoid the influence of the congestion of other experiment groups iRODSserver iRODSserveriRODS-AiRODS-B:iRODS-BiRODS-A:iRODS-CiRODS-D:iRODS-DiRODS-C:

30. iRODS setup @ CC-IN2P3 In production since early 2008. 9 servers: –3 iCAT servers (metacatalog): Linux SL4, Linux SL5 –6 data servers (200 TB): Sun Thor x4540, Solaris 10. Metacatalog on a dedicated Oracle 11g cluster. HPSS interface: rfio server (using universal MSS driver). Use of fuse-iRODS: –For Fedora-Commons. –For legacy web applications. TSM: backup of some stored data. Monitoring and restart of the services fully automated (crontab + Nagios + SMURF). Automatic weekly reindexing of the iCAT databases. Accounting: daily report on our web site.

31. iRODS usage: prospects Starting: –Neuroscience: ~60 TB. –IMXGAM: ~ 15 TB ( X and gamma ray imagery). –dChooz (neutrino experiment): ~ 15 TB / year. Coming soon: LSST (astro): –For the IN2P3 electronic test-bed: ~ 10 TB. –For the DC3b data challenge: 100 TB ? Thinking about a replacement of light weight transfer tool (bbftp).  communities: High Energy physics, astrophysics, biology, biomedical, Arts and Humanities.

32. iRODS contributions Scripts: –Test of icommands functionnalities. icommand: –iscan (release 2.3): admin command. Micro-services: –Access control: flexible firewall. –Msi to tar/untar files and register them in iRODS. –Msi to set ACLs on objects/collections. Universal Mass Storage driver. Miscealeneous (related to the Resource Monitoring System): –Choose best resource based on the load. –Automatic setup of status for a server (up or down).

33. JUX: Java Universal eXplorer Provide a single GUI for accessing the data on the GRID. JUX tries to be intuitive and easy to use for non-expert users: –use context menus, drag-and-drop… –close to widely used explorer (i.e. Windows explorer) Written in Java by Pascal Calvat. Based on the JSAGA API developed at ccin2p3 by Sylvain Reynaud. JSAGA provides the data management layer: –Protocols: srb, irods, gsiftp, srm, http, file, sftp, zip… –SRB and iRODS plugins are using Jargon. –Can add a plugin easily for a new protocol. JSAGA provides security mechanisms: –Globus proxy, VOMS proxy, Login/Password, X509

35. iRODS overall assessement iRODS is becoming more and more popular in IN2P3 community and beyond. Very flexible, large amount of functionnalities. Can be interfaced with many different technologies (no limit): –Cloud, Mass Storage, web services, databases, ….  Able to answer a vast amount of needs for our users community. Lot of projects = lot of work for us ! Goal for this year: ~ x00 TB (guess: > 300 TBs). Should reach PB scale very quickly.

37. FJKPPL? CC-IN2P3, KISTI Super Computing Center and KEK Computing Research Center are agreed to build the three points collaboration – We share the common interests on Grid computing – We will discuss what we will do together The same effort is done in BIO_1 also FJPPL 201037

38. SUMMARY FJPPL 201038

39. Summary CC-IN2P3 and KEK-CRC are working to solve the common problems in Grid computing mostly independently, but interactively and complementary – SAGA as the solution for Grid interoperability – iRODS as the solution for data management in smaller size projects Long term collaboration has a benefit – For KEK. CC-IN2P3 is very strong partner who provides useful software tools 39FJPPL 2010
