THEGrid Workshop Jae Yu THEGrid Workshop UTA, July 8 – 9, 2004 • Introduction • An Example of Existing Activities • What do we want to accomplish at the workshop? • Programs and demo plans • Workshop Organizations July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction

Welcome everyone! Thank you for your strong interest and participation! July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction

Workshop Stat. • Total of 38 registered participants – In person: 30 – Remote: 8 – HEP: 26 – CSE+HPC: 12 • Four different remote conferencing technologies – 2 video conferencing – 2 teleconferencing July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 3

Why are we here? • To mark the new beginning of a Texas alliance • High Performance Computing Across Texas (Hi. PCAT, http: //www. hipcat. net/) organization is a consortium of many universities in Texas to collaborate in bringing high level computing to the community spanning wide ranges – Education – Research July 8, 2004 – Industry Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 4

Why are we here, cont’d • High Energy Physics anticipates large amount of data (over several Peta Bytes – million GB, 10000, 100 GB drives) to be shared throughout the world – Provide excellent problems to solve through cutting edge technology • Construct a nucleus grid that must solve immediate problems • Bring computing grid technology one step closer to every day lives to improve quality of life • Need to promote grass root effort in July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop 5 Introduction Texas

High Energy Physics in Texas • Several Universities – UTA, TTU, SMU, UTD, TAM, UH, UT, Rice, UTB, UTEP, etc • UTA and TTU play leading role in their Tevatron experiments • Many different research facilities used – – Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Jefferson Lab Brookhaven National Lab CERN, Switzerland, DESY, Germany, and KEK, Japan – SLAC, CA and Cornell – Natural sources and underground labs • Sizable community, variety of experiments and needs July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop 6 Introduction • Large data (~1 PB/experiment) now!!

DØ Collaboration 650 Collaborators 78 Institutions 18 Countries July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 7

A Solution Computing Grid • Grid: Geographically distributed computing resources configured for coordinated use • Physical resources & networks provide raw capability • “Middleware” software ties it together Many small grids could form a larger grid.

Where are we and where do we want to go? • Grid solutions are being implemented and used • Discover additional computing resources • Accumulate local expertise to help each other • Data analysis at remote universities being done • Operational grid producing MC samples July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop • Time to work with each other within 12 Introduction

Workshop Goals • Primary goals: – Kick-start Texas High Energy Grid, THEGrid – Prepare THEGrid sites for the "grid" environment (Globus, Condor, etc. ) via hands-on sessions – Understand the software & hardware requirements – Set clear goals and their corresponding time scales for eventual integration of THEGrid into the global grid activities, such as Grid 3 and Open Science Grid – Decide on work assignments for participating institutions – Identify available resources within the field in the state of Texas – Set common goals, task lists and schedules • Distribute tasks • Establish clear road map and milestones for the future July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 13

Workshop Program July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 14

Demo Plan This Afternoon • Hyun. Woo Kim: UT Arlington – Demonstrate the operation of the DØ Southern Analysis Regional Grid (DØSARGrid) using Mc. Farm Software – Submit an official DØ MC (Simulated) events – Display the submitted request status on JIM – Display the status of the job at the destination cluster – Display the status of resource consumption • Joel Snow, Langston University, Oklahoma – Demonstrate the operation of more generic DØGrid which involves primarily European clusters – Display the submitted request status on JIM • Alan Sill, Texas Tech University – Demonstrate the operation of CAF, CDFGrid July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 15

Hand-on session • Globus or VTD installation • Condor desktop farm installation • Certificate application and (perhaps) installation • Demo for how to add approved users' certificate for them to submit jobs • ganglia installation • Mona. LISA installation • SAM/Grid installation July 8, 2004 Jae Yu, THEGrid Workshop Introduction 16
