Motivation and Objectives • Motivation the involvement in Grid Testbeds • Participation in LHC experiments (HEP): • ATLAS • Participation in Air Pollution Modelling • Objectives: • Initial development and exploitation of a Grid infrastructure in Valencia. • Physics and Chemistry analysis preparation for Grid computing. • Provide support and infrastructure for: • Development of Grid applications; • Test and validation of Grid applications. CROSSGRID WP4
GRID Projects • DATAGRID (from European Union) • CROSSGRID (from European Union) • SPECIAL ACTION (Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology) • project approved • Three-Years Project (Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology) • In the refereeing process CROSSGRID WP4
Current Grid Activities • Evaluation of the DATAGRID middleware • Implementation of the Valencia testbed site: • Maintenance of a Globus meta-directory: • Institutional MDS of Valencia “dc=ific, dc=es, o=Grid” • Integration of Valencia into the DATAGRID testbed: • Globus gatekeeper; • Globus Condor and PBS job-manager; • GSI authentication through the Spanish (in IFCA) CA • Etc,... • Participation in DATAGRID testbeds 0 and 1 CROSSGRID WP4
Current Grid Activities • We are participating in this year in the DATA CHALLENGE 1(DC1) of ATLAS experiment with two goals: • Event productions in our farm in order to provide samples for physics studies and make the Technical Design Report for the end of 2002. • To test in our farm the new software, including Geant4, the new event data model and the evaluation of two database technologies, Objectivity and Root-I/O. CROSSGRID WP4
Networking in Spain • ISP: RedIris (Spanish Academic Research Network) • Geant connectivity at 2.5 Gbits/s. • US connectivity at 180 Mbits/s. CROSSGRID WP4
Valencia Networking • Gibabit Ethernet BackBone in local area network. • Fiber optic link with University BackBone using Gigabit Ethernet • Fiber optic link of 155 Mbits/s with IP over ATM from the University to RedIris (Shared among other Universities and research centers of the “Comunidad Valenciana”) CROSSGRID WP4
Computing Infrastructure • Acquired an infrastructure for Grid activities from CSIC-Universitat de València: • Grupo de Ordenadores para el GRID (GoG) • 192 CPU’s • Chassis: 2U (Rack Mountable) • CPU: AMD K7 Athlon @1.2GHz • Memory: 1 Gbytes, PC133 • HD: 40 Gbytes, ATA 100 @7200 rpm • NIC: 100 Mbps full duplex.PXE 2.1, WOL CROSSGRID WP4
Computing Infrastructure • 9 Racks 19” • 9 switches ( • 2 switches (Gigabit Ethernet 12 ports) • Running Linux RH 6.2 (considering RH 7.2) • Job scheduling by CONDOR (looking at PBS) Catalyst 3524 XL fast Ethernet with Gigabit Ethernet uplink) CROSSGRID WP4
Computing Infrastructure • GRID test FARM • 4 AMD and 5 Intel processor: • 4 AMD are K7 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM and 40GB HD; • 5 Intel are Pentium MMX 150MHz, 64 MB of RAM and 2 GB HD. • Running Linux RH 6.2 • Job scheduling by Condor and PBS • Being used to test DATAGRID testbed 0 and 1: • Gatekeeper; • CE; • SE; • Institutional GIIS; • Installation server CROSSGRID WP4
