Experience in Running LCG as a Production Grid Service
نویسنده
چکیده
By summer 2004 the LCG service will have been in real production use for some 6 months during which period the LHC experiment data challenges will have been running. This paper reports on the experiences and lessons learned. We describe what services have been set up and what policies put in place to enable this, how the production has been supported, and finally we discuss how the service is expected to evolve over the next year. During this period, the LCG infrastructure has formed the basis of the EGEE production service. The paper will report on that experience and how the service has been expanded to include other application domains and what might be needed as further development in this direction.

The SAM-Grid system is an integrated data, job, and information management infrastructure. The SAM-Grid addresses the distributed computing needs of the experiments of RunII at Fermilab. The system typically relies on SAM-Grid services deployed at the remote facilities in order to manage computing resources. Such deployment requires special agreements with each resource provider and it is a lab...
متن کاملHep Applications Experience with the European Datagrid Middleware and Testbed
The European DataGrid (EDG) project ran from 2001 to 2004, with the aim of producing middleware which could form the basis of a production Grid, and of running a testbed to demonstrate the middleware. HEP experiments (initially the four LHC experiments and subsequently BaBar and D0) were involved from the start in specifying requirements, and subsequently in evaluating the performance of the mi...

The LHCb grid software has been used for two Physics Data Challenges, the most recent of which will have produced 90 TB of data and required over 400 processor-years of computing power. This paper discusses the group’s experience with developing Grid Services, interfacing to the LCG, running LHCb experiment software on the grid, and the integration of a number of new technologies into the LHCb ...
متن کاملMigration to the GLUE 2.0 information schema in the LCG/EGEE/EGI production Grid
The GLUE information schema has been in use in the LCG/EGEE production Grid since the first version was released in 2002. In 2008 a major redesign of GLUE, version 2.0, was defined in the context of the Open Grid Forum. The implementation of the publication and use of the new schema is a complex process which needs to be carefully managed to avoid any disruption to the production service, espec...
