Status of Tasks Emerging from the February Core/Grid Workshop David Malon malon@anl.gov Second ATLAS Core/Grid Workshop 6 May 2002
First US ATLAS Core/Grid Workshop • Motivation was to bring US ATLAS core and grid software developers together • Ensure coherence between core (control framework, data management) and grid middleware • Input specification and output registration are two examples
Discussions leading to tasks • Discussed how to get virtual data into Phase II of Data Challenge 1 • Walked through much of what needs to happen to make this possible • Since this is what we did in the last portion of the workshop, many of our tasks are strongly related to this
Sample tasks • Build a small transformation catalog • Sufficient to describe DC1 event generation • Appropriately parameterized • Get transformation parameters into job options • Emit EDG JDL • LFN generation from transformation parameters • LFNoutstream specification • Background: find out what’s real, what isn’t, in the way of EDG Testbed1 services • …
Task status • Build transformation catalog • Get transformation parameters into job options Status: See Pavel’s talk on Sasha Vaniachine’s prototyping for Phase I DC1 • Emit EDG JDL, with job options in input sandbox Status: No progress(?)
Task status • What’s available and what works in EDG Testbed1 release Status: • Jerry Gieraltowski joined ATLAS EDG validation team to gain early access • Some of our February questions have been answered in principle (e.g., how to find the particular file instance identified by the WP1 scheduler corresponding to an input LFN)
Task status • Initiate file vs. object replication discussions Status: proposed and initiated by Ed Frank, no responses reported to date • Reconcile database architecture and grid and hybrid event store ideas Status: several discussions to date; see later talks • Initiate discussions to coordinate GriPhyN/PPDG/EDG request planner, scheduler Status: Discussions underway (Ruth, Mike, Jenny, Mirco, …)
Task status • Initiate further discussions to specify Event Collection Services Status: In ATLAS database architecture, user interacts with event collection services to specify input • identification of corresponding LFNs and selection of physical file instances is transparent to user Queryable event collections are expected to be a product of LHC-wide common project on persistence
Task status • Coordinate ATLAS PPDG/GriPhyN/iVDGL plans Status: see Rob’s and Torre’s material
