10. Russia in LCG We have started activity in LCG in autumn 2002. Russia joined to the LCG-1 infrastructure (CERN press-release 29.09.2003). Goal now – to join to LCG-2, to be an operational segment of world-wide LCG infrastructure and participate in DC04’s. Manpower contribution to LCG (started in May 2003): the Protocol is signed by CERN, Russia and JINR, in total 3 FTEs per year: 3 months visits to IT to work on tasks agreed, budget for 2003 is approved, 3 tasks for our responsibility, work started in April 2003: 1) testing GRID mw to be used in LCG (3x3months – IHEP, JINR, PNPI) 2) evaluation of new GRID mw (OGSA/GT3, 9 months – SINP, JINR) 3) common solutions for event generators and event data bases (9 months – SINP, ITEP) The Protocol on Russia participation in experiments at LHC has been signed in November 2003- frameworks for period from 2007: M&O regional center in Russia and LCG computing in Experiments (on-line, off-line)

13. Information System testing for LCG-1 Elena Slabospitskaya Institute for High Energy Physics, Protvino, Russia 18.07.2003

14. It was designed and realized OGSA/GT3 testbed (named 'Beryllium') on the basis of PCs located at CERN and SINP MSU modelling a GT3 based Grid system. http://lcg.web.cern.ch/LCG/PEB/GTA/LCG_GTA_OGSA.htm Created software for common library of MC generators, GENSER, http://lcgapp.cern.ch/project/simu/generator/ New project MCDB (Monte Carlo Data Base) for LCG AA is proposed with Russia responsibility, as common solution for storing and providing access cross the LCG sites to the samples of events at partonic level.

15. The simplified schema of Beryllium testbed (CERN-SINP) ● The resource broker plays a central role: – Accepts requests from the User – Using the Information Service information, selects the suitable computer elements – Reserve the selected Computing Element – Communicates to the user a “ticket” to allow job submission – Maintains a list of all jobs running and receive confirmation – messages of the ongoing processing from the CEs – At job end, it updates the table of running job/CE status

16. CERN-INTAS In 2001-2003 we had CERN-INTAS grant 00-0440 (60 Keuro per year): Russia teams: SINP MSU, ITEP, IHEP and JINR INTAS teams: CERN IT, IN2P3 In July 2003 this grant is finishing. Final meeting was in May at CERN. New CERN-INTAS grant 03-52-4297 will start in April 2004. Main goals: on the base of LCG infrastructure to study some key R&D problems (advanced algorithms for task dispatching, managing chaotic set of analysis tasks etc). Russia teams: SINP MSU, JINR, ITEP, IHEP, BINP and PNPI INTAS teams: CERN IT, INFN-Padua, FZK Budget again 60 Keuro per year. First working meeting – today (19.03.04) at CERN.

17. EGEE Six Russian HEP institutes participate in the EGEE project ( Enabling Grids for E- science in Europe – EU FP6 Contract 508833). EGEE will start in April 2004, for two years. This is an infrastructure project: distributed ROC (24x7 service) – IHEP, JINR, ITEP, PNPI CIC (from the end of 2004) – SINP, plus some functions by JINR, RRC KI Budget of Russian institutes - 1 MEuro for two years. Major application – LHC computing (some 100%, at least in 2004). Thus, CIC-ROC infrastructure will serve both for EGEE and LCG.

18. Distribution of Service Activities over Europe : Operations Management at CERN; Core Infrastructure Centres in the UK, France, Italy, Russia (PM12) and at CERN, responsible for managing the overall Grid infrastructure; Regional Operations Centres, responsible for coordinating regional resources, regional deployment and support of services. Russia: CIC – SINP MSU, RRC KI (security and CA), JINR (monitoring) ROC – IHEP, PNPI, IMPB RAS Dissemination&Outreach – JINR,

19. Financial situation Main points: 2003: Ministry of Atomic Energy (IHEP, ITEP and RRC KI) - 250 Keuro. Local sources of the institutes - ~150 Keuro CERN-INTAS – 60 Keuro MoIST&JINR - manpower contribution to LCG - 63 (42+21) KEuro 2004: EGEE- 500 Keuro (EU budget) MoAE – 200 Keuro (to match EGEE EU budget) MoIST – 400 Keuro (to match EGEE EU budget) CERN-INTAS - 60 Keuro (plus 35 Keuro on networking – INTAS infrastructure project RuGNet) Local sources of the institutes - ~150 Keuro MoIST&JINR - manpower contribution to LCG - 98 (65+33) KEuro This level of financial support will allow us to continue participation in DC04’s and in LCG-2.

20. Connectivity with CERN International links for Russian science are (RBNet): 4 STM1 (4x155 Mbps) links Moscow-Stockholm Today three 155 Mbps links operate: 1.one for NaukaNet 155 Mbps connectivity with StarLight in Chicago 2.second 155 Mbps for commodity Internet 3.155 Mbps to GEANT 4.4 th 155 Mbps – plan to establish backup link to GEANT and pan European GRID projects. Actual problem: get few-to-few connectivity with GEANT (GRID motivation) – MPLS (infrastructure INTAS project RuGNet) RunNET (Moscow-St-Petersburg-Helsinki (NorduNET) – GEANT) 622 Mbps (soon 2.4 Gbps). Some bandwidth can be used for HEP (LCG/DC04) applications. Some prospocts: Project GLORIAD (global f/o ring Chicago-Amsterdam-Moscow-Novosibirsk- Khabarovsk-Beijing-Japan-Chicago), initiated by USA (NSF+DoE). Protocol was signed at official level by USA, Russia and China. In 2005 10 Gbps - LHC needs are recognized as major application! Now littleGLORIAD has started in January 2004 – (the circle of) 155 Mbps.

21. Note 10 Gbps Connections to Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary Pan-European Multi-Gigabit Backbone (33 Countries) January 2004 Planning Underway for “GEANT2” (GN2) Multi-Lambda Backbone, to Start In 2005

24. REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY for RUSSIA HEP Moscow 1 Gbps IHEP 8 Mbps (m/w), under construction 100 Mbps fiber-optic (Q2-Q3 2004?) JINR 45 Mbps, 100-155 Mbps (Q2 2004?), Gbps (2005?) INR RAS 2 Mbps+2x4Mbps(m/w) BINP 1 Mbps, 45 Mbps (2004 ?), … GLORIAD PNPI 512 Kbps (commodity Internet), and 34 Mbps f/o but (!) budget is only for 2 Mbps

25. LHC Data Challenges Typical example – transferring of 100 Gbyte of data from Moscow to CERN for one working day  50 Mbps of bandwidth !
