2. June 20, 2002 Rob Gardner US Grid Projects 2 Projects Overview TParticle Physics Data Grid (T. Wenaus)  Year 2 of 3-year project to deliver vertically integrated grid services to experiments  Initial ATLAS activity: distributed data storage on the grid (Magda)  grid analysis (new)  EDG kit evaluation and US ATLAS testbed certification (ANL); Monitoring, information servers (BNL) TGriPhyN (R. Gardner)  Year 2 of 5 year project: main deliverables for ATLAS: VDT, Pacman, Grappa; Chimera toolkit: virtual data catalog and data language (VDC, VDL, VDLI)  Virtual data prototyping effort by S. Vanaichine (ANL) P. Nevski (BNL)  Architecture for virtual data portal developed (Argonne-Chicago-IU project) TiVDGL (R. Gardner), Networking (S. McKee)  Platform on which to design, implement, integrate VDT  Boston and Indiana University Prototype Tier2 Centers  Forum for grid interoperability – collaborate with EU DataGrid, DataTag, etc.  Networking: U of Michigan leads  see Internet2 working group: http://www.internet2.edu/henp/ TUS ATLAS grid applications testbed (K.De)  Lots of contributions from various Lab and University groups! BNL,ANL,LBL,BU,OU,UM,UTA,IU

3. June 20, 2002 Rob Gardner US Grid Projects 3 TMAnager for Grid-based DAta TDesigned for ‘managed production’ and ‘chaotic end-user’ usage TDesigned for rapid development of components to support users quickly, with components later replaced by Grid Toolkit elements  Deploy as an evolving production tool and as a testing ground for Grid Toolkit components TAdopted by ATLAS for 2002 ATLAS Data Challenges TDevelopers - T. Wenaus and W. Deng (fulltime, postdoc) PPDG Magda http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/computing/grid/ppdg/ Info: http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/magda/info The system: http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/magda/dyShowMain.pl

4. June 20, 2002 Rob Gardner US Grid Projects 4 Status TFull time developer/support Wensheng Deng  Development, support: ATLAS DC, US ATLAS testbed, LAr bench test DAQ, GDMP integration TATLAS DC production usage for cataloging (passive and active) and replication  Improved usability, doc for replication; dynamic replication; more replication modes  DC1 data replication from BNL to CERN to begin  To be used for data replication among the ~18 sites of DC1 phase 0 T260k files, ~11TB cataloged at present TGDMP integration beginning  Issues given to GDMP in Jan re: Magda integration fixed in V3  David Rebatto, a CS working for Laura Perini, is helping  GDMP3 being set up in Milan; will install Magda and do integration work there Torre Wenaus

5. June 20, 2002 Rob Gardner US Grid Projects 5 PPDG Year 2 & Magda TGDMP integration  Use GDMP to support a ‘publish/subscribe’ replication mode within Magda, targeted at ‘conventional production’ usage (what GDMP is designed for)  Magda still ‘adds value’ with a more flexible approach to data management and replication TApplication in demos TBuild Magda outwards into distributed job management/analysis  Distributed job management is to be the ATLAS PPDG yr 2 focus  Together with distributed analysis? TApply as replica manager in hybrid store common project TBuild it outwards (or adapt it) to support more metadata? E.g. data history information; HES metadata (HEMP a teeny step in this direction) TTo be eclipsed by Alien? Examine Alien and evaluate Torre Wenaus

6. June 20, 2002 Rob Gardner US Grid Projects 6 Pacman http://physics.bu.edu/~youssef/pacman/ TPackage manager for the grid  Saul Youssef (Boston)  Used by VDT TSingle tool to easily manage installation and environment  fetch, install, configure, add to login environment, update  Sits over top of many software packaging approaches (rpm, tar.gz, etc.)  Uses dependency hierarchy, so one command can drive the installation of a complete environment of many packages  Packages organized into caches hosted at various sites  Distribute responsibility for support

7. June 20, 2002 Rob Gardner US Grid Projects 7 Grappa Work http://iuatlas.physics.indiana.edu/grappa/ TGrid user interface for Athena TFlexible, use existing portal technology TSubmit Athena jobs to grid computing elements TManage JobOptions, record sessions TFile staging and output collection supported TRegisters output to MAGDA file catalog TPackaged for general ATLAS use with Pacman TDemonstrated on US ATLAS Grid Testbed (ATLFAST) TFuture: virtual data portal + GANGA (UK Grid) collaboration
