  2. LondonGrid • Five Universities with seven GOC sites • Brunel University • Imperial HEP and Imperial LeSC • Queen Mary • Royal Holloway • UCL Central and UCL-HEP • Thirteen compute clusters, eight storage elements LondonGrid Status

  3. Administrative News • Brunel – new sys-admin starts beginning October • RHUL – sys-admin post vacant since Jan 08 - starting recruitment soon • QMUL – sys-admin post vacant - about to be advertised • Imperial - sys-admin went on maternity leave start Aug • Barry MacEvoy replaces her part time • LondonGrid - recruited new Technical coordinator • 0.25 FTE Imperial sys-admin • starts mid-September LondonGrid Status

  4. Site news Brunel • Site has been running OK over last 6 months • predominantly as CMS site but also ATLAS MC • however has recently suffered air conditioning problems • DPM too small and somewhat unreliable • Recent purchase of 60TB disk and 1 MSI2k CPU - in process of installing • Still only 400 Mbit/s WAN link LondonGrid Status

  5. Imperial • HEP • Workhorse ce00 running well • Mainly CMS analysis and MC • ATLAS MC jobs changed to stage out to RHUL SE • IBM cluster (gw39) retired • Recent purchase of 100 TB disk and ~2.4 MSI2k CPU • Added in new 120 WN to ce00 this week • Will the air conditioning cope? • ICT/ LeSC • Essentially run ATLAS and CMS MC plus biomed LondonGrid Status

  6. Royal Holloway • Manpower low - awaiting new system administrator • Nevertheless commissioned new cluster in April 2008 • Generally runs well • Have had networking issues • WAN issues seem to have been related to external firewall • Set up as CMS Tier-3 LondonGrid Status

  7. Queen Mary • No full time admin • Makeover completed • Now running SGE • CE gets overloaded need to upgrade it • DPM on Lustre • works OK – 50 MB/s WAN access, not yet stress tested LAN • will replace DPM head node with modern machine (10 Gbit/s) • Storm test SE – works OK but difficult to add ATLAS space tokens • Running mainly ATLAS and biomed jobs • need to get CMS MC running ASAP LondonGrid Status

  8. University College • UCL-Centralfinally passing SAM tests yesterday • Need to complete acceptance tests, install ATLAS software and get MC running • SE working • requires update of space tokens • UCL-HEP purchasing new equipment- should bring online soon LondonGrid Status

  9. CPU contribution by site • RHUL obvious arrival! • QMUL/LeSC –increase LondonGrid Status

  10. CPU usage by VO • CMS and ATLAS are the big users in last 6 months • Also biomed • LHCb still low • Concentrating on CMS & ATLAS… LondonGrid Status

  11. CPU usage by Tier-2 LondonGrid Status

  12. CMS • Imperial (T2-London-IC) and Brunel (T2-London-Brunel) • Running OK • SE’s quite full • London plan to use non-CMS sites as CMS Tier-3’s • Make use of T3-UK-London-RHUL cluster when ATLAS not using it • ~75 TB CMS data already on site • Up to 100 MB/s download from multiple CMS Tier-1’s • Running many analysis jobs (mostly Imperial users) • Just joined MC production • A real success in terms of supporting multiple VO’s LondonGrid Status

  13. CMS download to T3_UK London_RHUL ppMuX_pt10 2.4TB transferred in an afternoon LondonGrid Status

  14. CMS analysis jobs From 2008-08-23 to 2008-08-26 LondonGrid Status

  15. CMS Site View Monitoring Page • Excellent page summarising status of sites from CMS point of view • The much sought after single source of information http://dashb-cms-sv.cern.ch/dashboard/request.py/siteviewhome LondonGrid Status

  16. Other VO ‘s • vo.londongrid.ac.uk for local users • Set up local LFC catalogue for • supernemo.vo.eu-egee.org • mice • vo.londongrid.ac.uk • UKQCD VO supported at RHUL • large memory jobs and possibly MPI LondonGrid Status

  17. Conclusion • Still suffering from an acute shortage of manpower • New Technical coordinator starting very soon and three admin posts will be filled in autumn – hopefully! • Nevertheless Royal Holloway and QMUL sites brought on line and now contributing as ATLAS sites • RHUL also acting successfully as CMS Tier-3 – MC and analysis • Imperial and Brunel continue to service CMS and also run ATLAS MC • Looking forward to increased contribution by UCL LondonGrid Status
