The LHC Computing Grid Visit of Mr. Maurici Lucena Director General Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) Chairman of the ESA Council Spain Wednesday 21st October 2009 Frédéric HemmerIT Department Head
The ATLAS experiment 7000 tons, 150 million sensors generating data 40 millions times per second i.e. a petabyte/s
The Data Acquisition Ian.Bird@cern.ch 4
Tier 0 at CERN: Acquisition, First pass processingStorage & Distribution 1.25 GB/sec (ions) Ian.Bird@cern.ch 5
The LHC Data Challenge The accelerator will be completed in 2009 and run for 10-15 years Experiments will produce about 15 Million Gigabytes of data each year (about 20 million CDs!) LHC data analysis requires a computing power equivalent to ~100,000 of today's fastest PC processors Requires many cooperating computer centres, as CERN can only provide ~20% of the capacity The LHC Computing Grid, March 2009
Solution: the Grid • The World Wide Web provides seamless access to information that is stored in many millions of different geographical locations • The Grid is an infrastructure that provides seamless access to computing power and data storage capacity distributed over the globe The LHC Computing Grid, March 2009 Use the Grid to unite computing resources of particle physics institutes around the world
Tier 0 – Tier 1 – Tier 2 • Tier-0 (CERN): • Data recording • Initial data reconstruction • Data distribution • Tier-1 (11 centres): • Permanent storage • Re-processing • Analysis • Tier-2 (~130 centres): • Simulation • End-user analysis Ian.Bird@cern.ch 8

Impact of the LHC Computing Grid in Europe • LCG has been the driving force for the European multi-science Grid EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) • EGEE is now a global effort, and the largest Grid infrastructure worldwide • Co-funded by the European Commission (Cost: ~130 M€ over 4 years, funded by EU ~70M€) • EGEE already used for >100 applications, including… Bio-informatics Education, Training Medical Imaging Frédéric Hemmer, CERN, IT Department

EGEE-III Main Objectives Expand/optimise existing EGEE infrastructure, include more resources and user communities Prepare migration from a project-based model to a sustainable federated infrastructure based on National Grid Initiatives Flagship Grid infrastructure project co-funded by the European Commission Duration: 2 years Consortium: ~140 organisations across 33 countries EC co-funding: 32Million € Bob Jones - October 2009
Spain in EGEE • Spain - ES-GRID • Instituto de Física de Altas Energías, Barcelona - Lead beneficiary • IFAE/PIC • Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas CSIC • Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas CIEMAT • Universidad Politécnica de Valencia UPV • Entidad Pública Empresarial REDES RED.ES • Fundación Centro Tecnológico de Supercomputación de Galicia CESGA • Universidad Complutense de Madrid UCM • Universidad de Zaragoza UNIZAR • 25 FTEs • 2.1M€ EC funding Bob Jones - October 2009
Goal: Long-term sustainability of grid infrastructures in Europe • Approach: Establish a federated model bringing together National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) to build the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) • EGI Organisation: Coordination and operation of a common multi-national, multi-disciplinary Grid infrastructure • To enable and support international Grid-based collaboration • To provide support and added value to NGIs • To liaise with corresponding infrastructures outside Europe
EGI Council • EGI Council is the top management structure with EGI • 36 countries have joined as members so far • Spain: • CSIC - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (Isabel Campos Plasencia) • Ministry of Science and Innovation (Victor Castelo) • Further 7 countries as observers • 2 EIROforum labs are members • CERN • EMBL • ESA has expressed interest • Other EIROforum members will be approached
EGEE09 - EGEE’s annual conferencetheme - realising a sustainable European grid 631 registrants • from 43 countries • 18 % women 22 demos • 20 films!! 57 posters 108 sessions http://egee09.eu-egee.org/ Bob Jones - EGEE09
First edition 2006 and updated in 2008 with 44 projects Preparatory phase funding for most with second round soon About 10 will fly by 2010 European X-FEL first to go real – civil construction started in 2009 and International convention agreed 2 days ago. The ESFRI Roadmap is an ongoing process
