3. 15.07.20113 Mihnea Dulea, IFIN-HH Romanian participation in WLCG, R-ECFA Meeting HEP AND GRID COMPUTING IN ROMANIA The Romanian Authority for Scientific Research has signed the WLCG MoU in March 2006, as Funding Agency of the Romanian Tier-2 Federation (RO- LCG). The evolution of the national Grid in Romania is strongly related to HEP community HISTORY  2002: first Grid appl. implemented in RO (ALICE, NIHAM, IFIN-HH)  2004: participation in EGEE and SEE-GRID  2005: EGEE certification of RO-02-NIPNE (ATLAS)  2006: EGEE certification of RO-07-NIPNE (ALICE, ATLAS, LHCb)  EGEE certification of RO-11-NIPNE (LHCb)  RO-LCG

9. 15.07.20119 Mihnea Dulea, IFIN-HH Romanian participation in WLCG, R-ECFA Meeting EVOLUTION Between 2006-2010 RO-LCG grid production has steadily increased - production expressed in kSI2k units - only the data published by EGI portal is represented MoU resource pledge

10. GRID PRODUCTION PER VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION 15.07.201110 Mihnea Dulea, IFIN-HH WLCG (alice, atlas, lhcb):97,61% of national grid production HEP (WLCG+hone, ilc):98,10% of national grid production Romanian participation in WLCG, R-ECFA Meeting

12. NUMBER OF LCG JOBS 15.07.201112 Mihnea Dulea, IFIN-HH With 1,36% of the total Tier-2 number of jobs, RO-LCG is ranking 14th in WLCG collaboration. Romanian participation in WLCG, R-ECFA Meeting

14. FUNDING The RO-LCG Grid infrastructure was realized in the framework of various national projects from programmes of the National Plan for Research, Development and Innovation 1 & 2 (PNCDI1 & PNCDI2), financed by the National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS) More recently: Special structural funds call POS CCE 2.2.3 for Grid and RoEduNet PN2/12EU -CONDEGRID & NUCLEUS 15.07.201114 Mihnea Dulea, IFIN-HH PartnerFTEsFunding 12EU 2011: ~270.000 Euro IFIN8Applied for total 2011:~480.000 Euro ISS2 UPB2 ITIM1,5 UAIC2 Romanian participation in WLCG, R-ECFA Meeting

15. 15.07.201115 Mihnea Dulea, IFIN-HH Romanian participation in WLCG, R-ECFA Meeting CURRENT ISSUES 1. Relationship with NGI and availability monitoring Since November 2009, RO-LCG is not part of NGI_RO NGI gets funds from EGI-InSPIRE to monitor RO grid, including RO-LCG NGI_RO monitoring since March 2011 -> results provided to EGI The reliability of NGI_RO monitoring is low -> reported availability is not correct -> availability reported to EGI is lower than SLA RO-LCG developed its own monitoring system (SAM tests, etc.) Avoid site suspension! Re-certifying extremely difficult. 2. Utility costs Electric power consumed monthly by one major grid site ~6.000-7.000 Euro IFIN-HH applied to ANCS for the inclusion of Grid sites in the installations of national interest 3. Exhaustion of hosting space for equipment Applied for funds for extension with new building: 2007, 2008, 2011 4. Low reaction speed of NREN (RoEduNet) regarding P2P connectivity problems -> thousands of jobs lost (IFIN-ATLAS FR Cloud) 5. Finding qualified human resources
