Rob Gardner Grid Laboratory Projects Grid3: Practice and Principles Rob Gardner University of Chicago rwg@ April 12, 2004 Introduction Today I’d like to review a little about Grid3, it’s principles and practice I’d also like to show how we intend to use it for ATLAS Data Challenge 2… …and, how we will evolve it over the course of the next several months Acknowledgements I’m entirely reporting on other’s work! Much of the project was summarized at the iVDGL NSF review (Feb 04), and US LHC Project reviews (Jan 04) Especially I am indebted to Marco Mambelli, Ian Fisk, Ruth Pordes, Jorge Rodriguez, Leigh Grundhoefer for slides Outline Intro/project background Grid3 infrastructure and operations Applications Metrics and Lessons Grid3+, development, and ATLAS DC2 Conclusions Grid themes: then and now Grid2003 Project history Joint project with USATLAS, USCMS, iVDGL, PPDG, GriPhyN Organized as a “Project”: Grid2003 Developed Summer/Fall 2003 Grid3 “grid” benefited from STAR cycles and local efforts at BNL/ITD Use US-developed components VDT based (GRAM, Gridftp, MDS, Monitoring components) + applications iGOC monitoring and VO level services Interoperate, or federate with other Grids like LCG ATLAS successful use of Chimera+LCG-1 last December USCMS: storage element interoperability Grid3 services, roughly Site Software VO Services Information Services Monitoring Applications Operations - Site Software Design of Grid3 Site software distribution base Largely based upon successful WorldGrid installation deployment Create and Maintain Installation Guides Coordinate upgrades after initial installation (Installation Fests) Operations – Security Base One of the Virtual Organizations Registration Authorities (VO RA) operating with some delegated authority of the DOE Grids Certificate Authority is the iVDGL Registration Authority The iVDGL RA is used to check the identity of individuals requesting certificates. 282 iVDGL Certificates have been issued for iVDGL use
