Welcome to the workshop on adapting applications and computing services to multi- core and virtualization

4. Some Background
Early 2008 started two R&D projects in PH department (under White Paper Theme 3)
WP8 - Parallelization of Software Frameworks to exploit Multi-core Processors
WP9 - Portable Analysis Environment using Virtualization Technology
The ‘kickoff’ workshop took place on April 2008
Initial plans for both projects were laid down
Both projects work as ‘collaborations’ between LHC experiments

5. Motivation
Both R&D projects, and other initiatives from other groups, have started to deliver useful results for the experiments
Expected more to come in the near future
The current computational services at CERN and at the Grid does not support these new applications
For example, you can not ‘submit’ a user job exploiting all the available cores
You cannot ‘schedule’ a number virtual appliances

6. Motivation (2)
It is right time to start thinking how to adapt or evolve the existing computing services to support this new kind of applications
We thought that we should start with a workshop with a lot of time for discussion
Inviting technology providers (vendors) to present what exists and what directions the computing industry is going
Understanding the requirements from experiments
Exploring the different possibilities and sharing existing experiences

7. Aims for this workshop
Familiarize with latest technologies and the current industry trends
Migrating from Grids to Cloud computing
Management of large data centers
Understand applications from experiments
Initial exploration of solutions adequate to current and future HEP applications
Think more strategically than just minor adaptations to current services
Perhaps moving away from current practices (like batch systems, resource scheduling, accounting)

8. Non-Goal
This workshop is not the place to formulate formal requests by the experiments and take decisions on computing services
Other structures are [should be] available for this
