GRIDCC A realtime interactive GRID to integrate instruments, computational and information resources widely spread on a fast WAN Status Report e Richieste 2007 Silvano Squizzato Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro Legnaro Italy GM, 06.09.2006, CNAF

GRIDCC main goals ... the GRIDCC project extends the state of the art of computing Grid technologies, by introducing the handling of real-time constraints and interactive response into the existing Grid middleware Our goal is to build a widely distributed system that is able to remotely control and monitor complex instrumentation …These new applications introduce requirements for real-time and highly interactive operation of GRID resources. One of the main objectives of the project is to verify the feasibility of a Grid-based remote control of systems requiring real-time response with real applications running on existing Grid test beds over both national and international network infrastructures (e.g. GEANT). GRIDCC integrates a “grid of instrumentation” into existing Grid infrastructures that provide the computational power and storage needed for the applications …. GM, 06.09.2006, CNAF

Status GridCC 1st Annual Review (29 October 2005) “In general, the project is well on its way. A few recommendations to further strengthen the success of the project are given in Section 9 of this report.” “All project partners except IBM, have performed well in the first year of the project and mainly achieved their objectives. Corrective actions for IBM have been discussed and agreed which will allow effective integration of this partner in the second and third year of the project.” “Overall, the project consortium has worked efficiently and is encouraged to continue with their future planned activities and increase the coordination among partners.” Roll On Review (28 April 2006) “The most outstanding achievement is the progress with the Instrument Element which is considered to be the flag ship of the project, in particular since several basci Grid definitions state that “a Grid combines storage and computing resources as well as scientific instruments”. Therefore the project has good potential in the coming years” 2nd Annual Review (18 October 2006) Deployment of the Instrument Element on the main applications Integration with gLite (WMS, CE, SE). Use of gLite/Cream. Use of Storm as SRM Agreement Service and Quality if Service. GM, 06.09.2006, CNAF

Motivazioni Trasferte Interne per LNL GridCC Servono principalmente per meeting tra i partner italiani e attività di integrazione del middleware. INFN infatti sviluppa nel WP3 il middleware di GRIDCC che va poi integrato nelle applicazioni pilota previste. Ci sono infatti tre applicazioni italiane che richiederanno un’attività di integrazione sul campo da parte dell’ INFN: 1. Controllo strumentazione per telecomunicazione (Device Farm CNIT); 2. Controllo remoto di un acceleratore (Elettra); 3. Controllo remoto e monitoraggio di un territorio ad alto rischio sismico (IMAA/CNR). Vengono richiesti: 15 Keuro GM, 06.09.2006, CNAF

Motivazioni Trasferte Estero per LNL - I GridCC: sviluppo del middleware in collaborazione con gli altri partner del progetto e con CMS/CERN. CMS/CERN non partecipa direttamente al progetto, ma collabora attivamente allo sviluppo del middleware e di un’applicazione (vedi sotto). sviluppo e integrazione del Run Control dell’esperimento CMS, una delle principali applicazioni pilota del progetto. Questa parte del progetto viene sviluppata in stretta collaborazione con CMS/CERN (gruppo TriDAS – S. Cittolin) e abbisogna di un rapporto costante con il CERN. integrazione del software di WP3 nelle altre applicazioni pilota (per UK e Grecia). INFN-LNL e’ coordinatore del progetto. intensa attività di “dissemination” a livello internazionale (conferenze, workshop, etc ...) visto che si tratta dell’ultimo anno di progetto. GM, 06.09.2006, CNAF

Motivazioni Estero per LNL - II Vengono richiesti: 90 Keuro per trasferte di lavoro estero + conferenze internazionali Previsti poco più di 10 FTE per l’intero progetto GRIDCC In media si stima per queste attività: 2 mesi / FTE Costo medio per 2 mesi di trasferta: ~ 9 Keuro Totale: 9 * 10 Keuro 10 Keuro per il coordinamento del progetto GridCC a livello europeo GM, 06.09.2006, CNAF
