The ATLAS Connect meeting time has been determined:

Mondays, 11:30 Central

Connection information is available here:  https://indico.cern.ch/event/302365/

Xin will represent the Tier 1.   I’m adding Wei and Saul for possible flocking targets at WT2 and NET2, respectively, at some point.

The agenda will be informal, and we’ll discuss the topics below.

Cheers,

- Rob

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
