Possible(St.Petersburg)scenarios for LHC data analysis • Valuable fraction of the data analysis will be done at PNPI and around (it means PNPI has to behave as St.Petersburg regional leader); • only PNPI computing facility will be used for the analysis; • PNPI will use all the available computing power. Andrei.Chevel@pnpi.spb.ru
LHC Data analysis at PNPI and around • In total we plan to have in 2005: • 100-200 physicists involved into analysis; • 50K-90K SpecInt95 of processor power; • 20-50TB disk cache; • 50TB-100TB tape library (tape robot); • All the equipment could be used in different manner: • In one place (for example at PNPI); • In several places in SPb and Gatchina.

Existing and planned channels at St.Petersburg region Andrei.Chevel@pnpi.spb.ru
PNPI needs for computing power • We should have as soon as possible: • Small tape library (10 cartridges) with drive DLT 8000 (about $10K); • 0.5TB disk cache (about $10K); • 1K SpecInt 95 (about 10 dual processor 1 GHz) (about $20K); • Network Equipment and Accessories (about $2K).

PNPI urgently needs for at least 2 Mbit to SPb • Currently available link from PNPI to SPb is reasonably below critics; • That means PNPI needs to upgrade the link to SPb (not the Internet); • I would like to emphasize that partner Universities at SPb do need for the same (good channel in between Universities and PNPI). Andrei.Chevel@pnpi.spb.ru
Completed tasks in year 2000 (1) • Seminar at SPb University (March 2000); • CERNlib and related software was installed at IHPC&DB. • Published paper on LHC computing at Russian journal ‘Byte Russia’ number 2, 2000. • Meetings at PNPI on LHC computing (see ‘www.pnpi.spb.ru/RRCF’). • Upgrade of the existing computing farm. Andrei.Chevel@pnpi.spb.ru
Completed tasks in year 2000 (2) • It was created and checked the testbed for system Globus: • Globus was installed on the cluster ‘pcfarm.pnpi.spb.ru’ and Linux station ‘future76.pnpi.spb.ru. • The people from HPC&DB installed Globus on ‘spp.csa.ru’ and ‘whitecrow.csa.ru’. • It was installed client part of AFS on ‘pcfarm’. Andrei.Chevel@pnpi.spb.ru
Conclusion • PNPI needs In nearest future (better in 2001) to upgrade the link to SPb. • PNPI needs to realize in nearest future (better in 2001) the 10-20 processor computing farm. Proposal was submitted to Russian fund “Integracia”. • PNPI has to work in close relation to all parallel programs: Russian RIVK BAK, GriPhyN, Data Grid and others. Andrei.Chevel@pnpi.spb.ru
Our view for level ofRussian Federation • Creating the large scale distributed computing platform is attractive activity; many young students and other people will take participation the project. Such a participation would be attractive for advanced commercial companies in several areas: computing, communications, education, publishing. • I think we have to work together.
