Is this still a sensible project?


Life after GridPP2

We propose a 7-month transition period for GridPP2, followed by a three year co-development programme with the LHC Computing Grid, the proposed European Grid Infrastructure (EGI), the Particle Physics experiments and the Institutes. The GridPP3 project, a continuation of GridPP, will deliver a full-scale Grid for Exploitation to meet the reconstruction, simulation and analysis requirements of experiments across the Particle Physics programme.

Timeframe: GridPP2+ Sep 07 to Mar 08 GridPP3 Apr 08 to Mar 11

Budget: Has not been pre-specified… input to exploitation review was £36.6m for this period which is clearly (above) the upper limit.


GridPP2+

In the 7 Month period from Sep-07 to Apr-08 we propose (following the suggestion of the Oversight Committee) to continue the GridPP2 project largely as-is primarily in order to:

1) To sort out issues with the time-frame for the PPRP process and post-extension in Sep 07.

2) Provide continuity of management and support over the expected start-up phase of the LHC.

3) Align future projects with financial years, with EGEE and possible future EGI project, and with other grants in the UK.

Proposal is to continue all GridPP2 posts in this period except for the Application

posts (which have been applied for via the Rolling Grant mechanism).

We hope (need) to use the GridPP2+ period to install/commission a substantial

pulse of hardware to be ready for the start of the LHC.

GridPP3 Deployment Board

In GridPP2, the Deployment Board is squeezed into a space already occupied by the Tier-2 Board; the D-TEAM; and the PMB. Many meetings have been “joint” with one of these other bodies. Identity and function have become blurred.

Project Management Board

XIn GridPP3, propose a combined Tier-2 Board and Deployment Board with overall responsibility for deployment strategy to meet the needs of the experiments. In particular, this is a forum where providers and users formally meet. Deals with:

1) Issues raised by the Production Manager which require strategic input.2) Issues raised by users concerning the service provision. 3) Issues to do with Tier-1 - Tier-2 relationships. 4) Issues to do with Tier-2 allocations, service levels, performance. 5) Issues to do with collaboration with Grid Ireland and NGS.


GridPP3 DB Membership

1) Chair 2) Production Manager 3) Technical Coordinator 4) Four Tier-2 Management Board chairs. 5) Tier-1 Board Chair. 6) ATLAS, CMS, LHCb representatives. 7) User Board Chair. 8) Grid Ireland representative 9) NGS representative. 10) Technical people invited for specific issues.

Above list gives ~13 core members, 5 of whom are probably on PMB. There is a move away from the technical side of the current DB and it becomes a forum where the deployers meet each other and hear directly from the main users. The latter is designed to ensure buy-in by the users to strategic decisions.


LHC Hardware Requirements

GridPP Exploitation Review input: Took Global Hardware requirements and multiplied by UK authorship fraction.

ALICE 1% ATLAS 10% CMS 5% LHCB 15%

Problematic using “Authors” in the denominator when not all Authors (globally) have an associated Tier-1. Such an algorithm applied globally would not result in sufficient hardware. GridPP has asked the experiments for requirements and their input (relative to their global requirements) is:

ALICE ~1.3% ATLAS ~13.7% CMS ~10.5% LHCb ~16.8%

?? (Global Requirements) X (Global T1 author frac.)

(Global Requirements) (Number of Tier1s)

~50% X

(Global Requirements) (Number of Tier1s)

~ UK Authorship fraction


Proposed Hardware

The input from the User Board was that that the hardware requirements in the GridPP3 proposal should be:

• Those defined by the LHC experiments;

• plus those defined by BaBar (historically well understood);

• plus a 5% provision for “Other” experiments at the Tier-2s only.

Kryder’s Law for disk cost

Moore’s Law for CPU cost

Hardware costs extrapolated from recent purchases. However, experience tells us there are fluctuations associated with technology steps. Significant uncertainty in integrated cost.

Model must factor in:- Operational life of equipment- Known operational overheads- Lead time for delivery and deployment.

Tier-2 Resources

Sanity Checks:

1) Can apply the model and compare cost of hardware at the Tier-1 and Tier-2 integrated over the lifetime of the project:

2) Total cost of ownership: Can compare total cost of the Tier-2 facilities with the cost of placing the same hardware at the Tier-1 (assuming that doubling the Tier-1 hardware requires a 35% increase in staff).

Tier-1 Tier-2CPU (K£/KSI2K-year): 0.070 0.045DISK (K£/TB-year): 0.144 0.109TAPE (K£/TB-year): 0.052

Including staff and hardware, the cost of the Tier-2 facilities is ~80% of cost of an enlarged Tier-1.

Tier-1 Service

“Tier1 Centres provide a distributed permanent back-up of the raw data, permanent storage and management of data needed during the analysis process, and offer a grid-enabled data service. They also perform data-intensive analysis and re-processing, and may undertake national or regional support tasks, as well as contribute to Grid Operations Services.”[LCG MoU]

The exact role of the Tier-1 varies from experiment to experiment, and is provided in detail in the individual experiments’ TDRs. However broadly the Tier-1 will carry out the following tasks:

• acceptance of an agreed share of raw data from the Tier0 Centre, keeping up with data acquisition;• acceptance of an agreed share of first-pass reconstructed data from the Tier0 Centre;• acceptance of processed and simulated data from other centres of the WLCG;• recording and archival storage of the accepted share of raw data (distributed back-up);• recording and maintenance of processed and simulated data on permanent mass storage;• provision of managed disk storage providing permanent and temporary data storage for files and

databases;• provision of access to the stored data by other centres of the WLCG … • operation of a data-intensive analysis facility; • provision of other services according to agreed Experiment requirements; • ensure high-capacity network bandwidth and services for data exchange with the Tier0 Centre, as part of

an overall plan agreed amongst the Experiments, Tier1 and Tier0 Centres; • ensure network bandwidth and services for data exchange with Tier1 and Tier2 Centres, as part of an

overall plan agreed amongst the Experiments, Tier1 and Tier2 Centres; • administration of databases required by Experiments at Tier1 Centres. All storage and computational

services shall be “grid enabled” according to standards agreed between the LHC Experiments and the regional centres.

To achieve the levels of service specified in the MOU, a multi-skilled incident response unit (3 FTE) is proposed. This is intended to reduce the risk of over-provisioning other work areas to cope with long term fluctuations in fault rate. These staff will have an expectation that their primary daily role will be dealing with what has gone wrong. They will also provide the backbone of the primary callout team.

Dissemination

4. The bid (s) should : a) show how developments build upon PPARC’s existing investment in e-Science and IT investment, leverage investment by the e-science Core programme and demonstrate close collaboration with other science and industry and with key international partners such as CERN. It is expected that a plan for collaboration with industry will be presented or justification if such a plan is not appropriate.

For exploitation review it was assumed dissemination was absorbed by PPARC. Unlikely at this point! Presently we have effectively 1.5 FTE working on dissemination alone (Sarah Pearce plus events officer). Want to maintain a significant dissemination activity (insurance policy) so adding in industrial liaison suggests maintaining the level at 1.5 FTE.


Full Proposal

Compares with exploitation review input of £36,643k which included £1,800k running costs.
