Outline: Data to Metadata to Data • Introduction • Yesterday “.. all my troubles seemed so far away” • (non-Grid) Database Access • Data Hierarchy • Today “.. is the greatest day I’ve ever known” • Grids and Metadata Management • File Replication • Replica Optimisation • Tomorrow “.. never knows” • Event Replication • Query Optimisation
GRID Services: Context Chemistry Cosmology Environment Applications Biology High Energy Physics Data- intensive applications toolkit Remote Visualisation applications toolkit Distributed computing toolkit Problem solving applications toolkit Remote instrumentation applications toolkit Collaborative applications toolkit Application Toolkits : E.g., Resource-independent and application-independent services Grid Services (Middleware) authentication, authorisation, resource location, resource allocation, events, accounting, remote data access, information, policy, fault detection : Resource-specific implementations of basic services Grid Fabric (Resources) E.g., transport protocols, name servers, differentiated services, CPU schedulers, public key infrastructure, site accounting, directory service, OS bypass

A running (non-Grid) experiment Three Steps to select an event today • Remote access to O(100) TBytes of ESD data • Via remote access to 100 GBytes of TAG data • Using offline selection e.g. ZeusIO-Variable (Ee>20.0)and(Ntrks>4) • Access to remote store via batch job • 1% database event finding overhead • O(1M) lines of reconstruction code • No middleware • 20k lines of C++ “glue” from Objectivity (TAG) to ADAMO (ESD) database ESD TAG • 100 Million selected events from 5 years’ data • TAG selection via 250 variables/event
A future (Grid) experiment Three steps to (analysis) heaven • 10 (1) PByte of RAW (ESD) data/yr • 1 TByte of TAG data (local access)/yr • Offline selection e.g. ATLASIO-Variable (Mee>100.0)and(Njets>4) • Interactive access to local TAG store • Automated batch jobs to distributed Tier-0, -1, -2 centres • O(1M) lines of reconstruction code • O(1M) lines of middleware… NEW… • O(20k) lines of Java/C++ provide TAG “glue” from TAG to ESD database • All working? • Efficiently? Inter DataBase Solutions Inc. • 1000 Million events from 1 year’s data-taking • TAG selection via 250 variables
GDMP Spitfire Reptor Optor Grid Data Management: Requirements • “Robust” - software development infrastructure • “Secure” – via Grid certificates • “Scalable” – non-centralised • “Efficient” – Optimised replication Examples:
Robust?Development Infrastructure • CVS Repository • management of DataGrid source code • all code available (some mirrored) • Bugzilla • Package Repository • public access to packaged DataGrid code • Development of Management Tools • statistics concerning DataGrid code • auto-building of DataGrid RPMs • publishing of generated API documentation • latest build = Release 1.2 (August 2002) 140506 Lines of Code 10 Languages (Release 1.0)
Robust?Middleware Testbed(s) Validation/ Maintenance =>Testbed(s) EU-wide development
1. Robust?Code Development Issues • Reverse Engineering (C++ code analysis and restructuring; coding standards) => abstraction of existing code to UML architecture diagrams • Language choice (currently 10 used in DataGrid) • Java = C++ - - “features” (global variables, pointer manipulation, goto statements, etc.). • Constraints (performance, libraries, legacy code) • Testing (automation, object oriented testing) • Industrial strength? • OGSA-compliant? • O(20 year) Future proof??
Data Management on the Grid • “Data in particle physics is centred on events stored in a database… Groups of events are collected in (typically GByte) files… In order to utilise additional resources and minimise data analysis time, Grid replication mechanisms are currently being used at the file level.” • Access to a database via Grid certificates (Spitfire/OGSA-DAI) • Replication of files on the Grid (GDMP/Giggle) • Replication and Optimisation Simulation (Reptor/Optor)

“The current EMBL production database is 150 GB, which takes over four hours to download at full bandwidth capability at the EBI. The EBI's data repositories receive 100,000 to 250,000 hits per day with 20% from UK sites; 563 unique UK domains with 27 sites have more than 50 hits per day.” MyGrid Proposal Suggests: Less emphasis on efficient data access and data hierarchy aspects (application specific). Large gains in biological applications from efficient file replication. Larger gains from application-specific replication? Application Requirements

Summary • Yesterday’s data access issues are still here • They just got bigger (by a factor 100) • Data Hierarchy is required to access more data more efficiently… insufficient • Today’s Grid tools are developing rapidly • Enable replicated file access across the grid • File replication standard (lfn:\\, pfn:\\) • Emerging standards for Grid Data Access.. • Tomorrow “.. never knows” • Replicated “Events” on the Grid?.. • Distributed databases?.. • or did that diagram look a little too monolithic?
