Gardner is the ATLAS lead, J. Schopf is the CS liaison  GriPhyN proposal emphasizes virtual data requirements, collaboration between experiments  iVDGL proposal emphasizes testbed and infrastructure issues across experiment

6. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 6 GriPhyN  Principal ATLAS GriPhyN/iVDGL deliverables:  2001: Testbed with GriPhyN VDT 1.0, packaged with PacMan  2002: Serving DC1 data  2003: Dataset re-creation/Data signature  Additional efforts:  Monitoring: Dantong Yu, BNL, and J. Schopf,ANL, joint with PPDG  GRAPPA: Rob Gardner and Randy Bramley, IU

7. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 7 GriPhyN Testbed Issues T GriPhyN is defining VDT 1.o q SW install for GriPhyN/PPDG, compatible with EDG as well q Globus 2.0 beta when it’s released (10/30) z GSI, GridFTP, MDS, repl, cat stuff, etc (Gram 1.5) q GDMP 2.0 (supports flat files) q Condor 6.3.1 (also Condor-G, Dagman) T Extra tools for ATLAS q objectivity 6.1 q Magda T Still need to resolve CA issue between EDG and US test sites

8. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 8 GriPhyN ATLAS Goal 1 Serving DC1 Data (July-Dec 2002) T Limited reconstruction analysis job using grid job submission interface T Serving the data results form DC1 q As part of DC1, data must be tagged with meta data for ease of access  Minimal keywords would be sufficient  Magda already implements portions of this T Job submission with minimal smarts q Extend GRAPPA work q Move compute resources to data sites

9. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 9 GriPhyN ATLAS Goal 2 Dataset Re-creation (Jan-Sept 2003) T Goal: be able to re-create a data file T Need to evaluate what parameters need to be kept track of T Need to evaluate data needed for full data signature T Need to develop a metric for evaluating success - what is good enough?

10. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 10 GRAPPA: Grid Access Portal for Physics Applications  Provide a point of access to ATLAS grid resources  IU (Physics, CS), Northwestern (ECE), ANL (CS), BU (Physics),  Provide a simple interface for physicists to submit and monitor jobs on the Grid  Web-based as well as script-based  Ability to “replay”  Compatible with both ATLSim and Athena architecture  Adaptable and/or “extensible” to new developments in Grid software, Athena, etc

11. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 11 GRAPPA Components  User Interface  Job submission  Monitoring  Bookkeeping  Resource selection

12. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 12 Current Status  Simple prototype that allows users to submit an Athena job from a web interface to the Condor pool on the Atlas IU cluster (via Globus)  Next steps  Adding more Athena functionality to the interface (e.g., user's defined libraries)  Experiment with other job launch mechanisms  Condor-G and DAGMAN description language  Web Services Flow Language as a more general workflow description  Explore interfaces for multiple metadata and replica catalog systems.  http://lexus.physics.indiana.edu/~griphyn/grappa/

13. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 13 Grid-Enabled Data Access in Athena T David Malon, ANL T Integrate Grid Data Access techniques (Globus replica catalog and/or GDMP) into the Athena event selection module T When a file is needed, a check is done to see if the file is local q if not, use Grid Data Access tools to make it local

14. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 14 Grid-Enabled Data Access in Athena  Athena and Globus  Search Globus replica catalog and select  Transfer file using the protocol associated with the location object in the catalog (gsiftp, https/globus-url-copy from a remote gass_server,...)  Athena and GDMP  Work to date uses GDMP 1.2.2, which had not yet incorporated the Globus replica catalog  Uses the GDMP import/export catalogs  Supports certain subscription-based approaches  Automatically updates Objectivity/DB internal catalog when Objectivity database files are transferred

15. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 15 Status  Paper presented at CHEP  Prototype up and running on ANL systems  GDMP-based prototype work done between CERN and Milan  Next Steps:  GDMP will use Globus data replica work  Use GDMP to copy files  Requirements and design work for interfaces between Athena data producers and metadata catalogs and replica management services (e.g., Magda)  Metadata work – extending the Athena Event Selector properties to allow for data signature/virtual data

16. Oct 2001 Jennifer Schopf, ANL 16 Monitoring  Joint working group set up between PPDG and GriPhyN to investigate monitoring issues  Led by J. Schopf and D. Yu  Monitoring currently defined very broadly:  Is this router configured correctly?  Has the application finished using that file yet?  What information do I need to determine where to run my application?
