NorduGrid & applications • The level of the NorduGrid stability allows to execute real tasks • Most of the applications so far are in the high energy physics domain • Apart of the simple curiosity and testing, there is a bare necessity to run ATLAS Data Challenge exercises • Requires a lot of computing power • Intensions are to run it in a distributed (Grid) manner a.s.a.p. Oxana Smirnova
Pre-requisites • Valid NorduGrid credentials • A machine with the User Interface installed • Includes minimal Globus client installation • A user may want to make some personal adjustments: • .ngrc # Sample .ngrc file# Comments starts with #NGDEBUG=1NGDOWNLOAD=/tmp • .ngiislistldap://grid.nbi.dk:2135/O=Grid/Mds-Vo-name=NorduGridldap://grid.quark.lu.se:2135/O=Grid/Mds-Vo-name=NorduGrid Oxana Smirnova

Re-used JETSET/PYTHIA generation • Problem: • A legacy code (FORTRAN) uses specific input cards • Each job needs a new random seed • “Gridification” is still trivial: • Generate xRSL files on-fly • Submit for execution a shell-script, wrapped around the actual executable Oxana Smirnova

ATLAS DC1 • Problem: • Executed binary, libraries etc do not belong to a user, but are a part of the ATLAS runtime environment • Input files are residing on [remote] storages • However, as soon as the runtime environment is set up, the task becomes even easier on the Grid, comparing to a traditional method (see the Demo later) • Again, the most convenient method may be to produce xRSL and steering files on-fly Oxana Smirnova

Summary • NorduGrid is ready to run “traditional” applications in a Grid environment • There is still plenty of room for development: e.g., data management, production job management etc Oxana Smirnova
