Atlas-connect-l mailing list

[Rob Gardner <rwg AT hep.uchicago.edu>]

I’ve completely dropped the ball on sending around a doodle poll to establish a regular meeting time slot for ATLAS Connect issues.

Here is a poll,

http://doodle.com/9srfhbzbbrxev7zc

Please fill out the poll before the end of the week.  Once we have a time chosen, I’ll setup a meeting in Indico and we’ll likely use Vidyo.

(there is a phone bridge)

Some topics and possible projects to discuss, both for ATLAS Connect User, and ATLAS Connect Cluster:

- New targets: Stampede, Midway and SWT2

- Newly Flocked Tier3: UT

- Faxbox permissions and usability: with Condor, xrootd, and globus online

- Parrot wrapper 

- Parrot overhead for ROOT IO  (as compared to WAN overhead)

- Building useful examples for the documentation

- Adding a PROOF cluster service (UChicago-Exotics group request)

- Additional software tools on login.usatlas.org

- ATLAS Connect job wrapper to grab additional accounting info (institution an working group)

- Writing down a Faxbox usage policy; work needed for lazy enforcement

- CONNECT Panda:

> New Panda queue

> Autopyfactory

> Production targets: Stampede, Midway

- ATLAS Connect at next US ATLAS Facilities meeting, at SLAC, April 7

> Documented ATLAS Connect analysis templates

> Flocked Tier3 operations: stability, relative performance

> Use of FAX from ATLAS Connect

> User tutorial

I sometimes probe the system with a test job set.  Below is what I got running today (jobs now deleted).

See below.  (Over the weekend, Dave, Ilija and I were ramping up jobs to for FAX stress testing

and, with priorities favorably set, could reach up to 5k jobs). 

Cheers,

- Rob
