1 The Beijing Tier 2: status and plans
Xiaomei Zhang CMS Tier1 visit to IN2P3 in Lyon   November 30, 2007

2 Outline Introduction Manpower
Site overview: hardware, software, network Storage status Data transfer status Ongoing upgrade Future plan 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

3 Introduction The T2_Beijing is the only CMS T2 site in China mainland
The T2_Beijing site is set up and maintained by the computing center of IHEP in Beijing approved in 2006 no direct financial support from the government yet trying to get financial support soon… T2_Beijing shared (mainly) by CMS and ATLAS common LCG infrastructure no dedicated WN dedicated Storage Element for each experiment 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

4 Manpower 1 FTE for CMS T2_Beijing, 1 FTE for ATLAS T2_Beijing
Xiaomei Zhang is responsible for CMS Erming Pei is responsible for ATLAS 1 FTE for technical support Xiaofei Yan 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

5 Site overview Computing infrastructure Hardware Software
our computing hall has just finished repairing the cooling and power systems are in good condition Hardware LCG components: IBM x3650 (2 Xeon 5130 cpu and 4 GB RAM) 14 worknodes (2 Xeon 3.2G cpu and 2 GB RAM) Software middleware recently upgraded to gLite 3.0 work nodes OS system upgraded to SLC 4 CMSSW1.6.4 has been installed and tested External Network to T1 1Gbps to the CNNIC center, which has 1Gbps connected through CERNET to Europe GEANT, 1Gbps to US Internet ~80 stream  15MB/s in current tests to IN2P3 and FNAL 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

6 Storage Status The resources are very limited now, but will be improved step by step soon Use dCache system with 1.1TB storage 1.1TB is our first step 10TB disk has arrived  Headnodes and poolnodes in a single server: IBM x346 (2 Xeon 3.2G CPUs and 4 GB RAM) one poolnode, one pool with 1.1 TB it causes much trouble in current link debugging affect job running in our site, no space for data output and slow response from SE in the period of link debugging 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

7 Data Transfers We try to have two (up/down) links
IN2P3 and FNAL (FNAL is required by our local CMS group) Status: two links aren’t good enough, but will be promising after the resource increasing soon IN2P3 - a good rate about 15 MB/s some days, although the download link and upload link are still in the commissioning status FNAL - download link commissioned, upload link is ongoing Main reason only one link at one time is allowed in our poor SE hard to keep switching links and commissioning four links, even two links sometimes T1s are also not stable and have problems, making things even worse 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

8 PhEDEx Despite of bad situation, we still have transferred 30 (10) TB from FNAL (IN2P3) Also we have a very start this month for the upload link from FNAL and IN2P3 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

9 Ongoing Upgrade 12 new WNs (2 Xeon 5345 cpu 4 cores 16GB RAM) will be added next month 5 machines will be used to set up the new SE headnodes and poolnodes 5 pools and 10TB disk will be added soon for each experiment(10TB for CMS, 10TB for ATLAS) One poolnode with 4GB FC connected to one disk array box with Raid 5+1 xfs file system 2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center

10 Future Plan Try to maintain stable links with IN2P3 and FNAL
Meet the data demand of local CMS physics group in production instance and provide good service for physics analysis Try to support MC production after resource situation improves “Everything is getting better and better”, as our computing center manager said  2007/11/30 IHEP Computing Center
