CERN openlab for DataGrid applicationsSetting the SceneF.Fluckigeropencluster ProjectS.Jarp
What is it? • “Contractual” framework for sponsorship • IT Division “R&D” in collaboration with Industry • Current Guiding Principles (GP document publicly available) • 3-year commitment from sponsors • Minimum contribution: USD1.5M over three years • Contributions may be a mix of • In kind (HW, SW) • In cash (then, CERN commits to use it for funding manpower)
openlab framework What are we doing? • Evaluate, validate, Integratecutting edge solutions • Focus: LCG in the medium/longer term • Current Project: opencluster opencluster cluster opencluster project

In perspective … • openlab: CERN openlab for a framework DataGrid application • opencluster: a project in the openlab • LCG: LHC Computing Grid a project • EDG: European DataGrid a project
LCG LCG • Selection, Integration (technology) and deployment (full scale) • Full Production service • Worldwide scope 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
EDG LCG • Development (middleware) and deployment (large scale) • European Testbed ( + US via DataTag) EDG 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
