  1. PRAGUE site report

  2. Overview • Supported HEP experiments and staff • Hardware on Prague farms • Statistics about running LHC experiment’s DC • Experience

  3. Experiments and people • Three institutions in Prague • Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic • Charles University in Prague • Czech Technical University in Prague • Collaborate on experiments • CERN – ATLAS, ALICE, TOTEM, *AUGER* • FNAL – D0 • BNL -STAR • DESY – H1 • Collaborating community 125 persons • 60researchers • 43 students and PHD students • 22 engineers and 21 technicians • LCG Computing staff – takes care of GOLIAS (farm at IOP AS CR) and SKURUT (farm located at CESNET) • Jiri Kosina – LCG, experiment software support, networking • Jiri Chudoba – ATLAS and ALICE SW and running • Jan Svec – HW, operating system, PbsPro, networking, D0 SW support (SAM, JIM) • Vlastimil Hynek – run D0 simulations • Lukas Fiala – HW, networking, web

  4. Available HW in Prague GOLIAS • Two independent farms in Prague • GOLIAS – Institute of Physics AS CR • LCG2 (testZone - ATLAS & ALICE production), D0 (SAM and JIM installation) • SKURUT – CESNET, z.s.p.o. • EGEE preproduction farm, also used for ATLAS DC • Separate nodes used for GILDA (tool/interface developed at INFN to allow new users to easily use grid and demonstrate it’s power) with GENIUS installed on top of user interface • Sharing of resourcesD0:ATLAS:ALICE= 50:40:10 (dynamically changed when needed) • GOLIAS: • 80 nodes (2 CPUs each), 40 TB • 32 dual CPU nodes PIII1.13GHz, 1GB RAM • In July 04 bought new 49 dual CPU Xeon 3.06 GHz, 2 GB RAM (WN) • Currenlty considering, if HT should be on/off (memory, scheduler problems in older(?) kernels). • 10 TB disk space, we use LVM to create 3 volumes with 3 TB, one per experiment, nfs mounted on SE. • In July 04 + 30 TB disk space, now in tests (30 TB XFS NFS-exported partition. Unreliable with pre-2.6.5 kernels, newer seem reliable so far) • PBSPro batch system • New server room: 18 racks, more than half empty yet, 180 kW secured input electric power

  5. Skurut – located at CESNET 32 dual CPU nodes PIII 700MHz, 1GB RAM (16 LCG2 + 16 GILDA) OpenPBS batch system LCG2 installation: 1xCE+UI, 1xSE, WNs (count varies) GILDA installation: 1xCE+UI, 1xSE, 1xRB(installation in progress). WNs are manually moved to LCG2 or GILDA, as needed. Will be used for EGEE tutorial Available HW in Prague

  6. Network connection • General – Geant connection • 1 Gbps backbone at GOLIAS, over 10 Gbps Metropolitan Prague backbone • CZ - GEANT 2.5 Gbps (over 10 Gbps HW) • USA 0.8 Gbps (Telia) • Dedicated connection – provided by CESNET • Delivered by CESNET in Collaboration with NetherLight • 1 Gbps (10 Gbps line) optical connection Golias-CERN • Plan to provide the connection for other institutions in Prague • In consideration connections to FERMILAB, RAL or Taipei • Independent optical connection between the collaborating Institutes in Prague, will be finished by end 2004

  7. Data Challenges

  8. ATLAS - July 1 – September 21 number of jobs in DQ: 1349 done 1231 failed = 2580 jobs, 52% number of jobs in DQ:362 done572 failed = 934 jobs, 38%

  9. Local job distribution • GOLIAS • not enough ATLAS jobs 2 Aug 23 Aug ALICE D0 ATLAS

  10. Local job distribution • SKURUT • ATLAS jobs • usage much better

  11. ATLAS - CPU Time Xeon 3.06GHz PIII1.13GHz hours hours PIII700MHz queue limit: 48 hours later changed to 72 hours hours

  12. Statistics for 1.7.-6.10.2004 ATLAS - Jobs distribution

  13. ATLAS - Real and CPU Time very long tail for real time – some jobs were hanging during IO operation

  14. ATLAS Total statistics • Total time used: • 1593 days of CPU time • 1829 days of real time

  15. ALICE jobs 1.7.- 6.10. 04

  16. ALICE

  17. ALICE Total statistics • Total time used: • 2076 days of CPU time • 2409 days of real time

  18. LCG installation • LCG installation on GOLIAS • We use PBSPro. In cooperation with Peer Haaselmayer (FZK), “cookbook” for LCG2+PBSPro was created (some patching is needed) • Worker nodes – the first node installation is done using LCFGng, then immediately it is switched off • From then on everything is done manually - we find it much more convenient and transparent and manual installation guide helps. • Currently installed LCG2 version 2_2_0 • LCG installation on SKURUT • almost default LCG2 installation, only with some PBS queues properties tweaking • we recently found that openpbs in LCG2 already contains required_property patch, which is very convenient for better resource management • currently trying somehow to integrate this feature into PBSPro
