July 26, 2002 Jae Yu: MRI 2002 Meeting 2

Introduction• We (UTA) were successful in persuading DØ

collaboration to adopt DØ Regional Analysis Center scheme– A proposal completed – Collaboration had a chance to look at it– World-wide finance committee has well accepted the scheme

and enthusiastic about the proposal• Significant amount computing research necessary to

implement and employ Grid into DØ• The MRI gave a significant head-start toward UTA

becoming an ATLAS Tier II site– Will generate even more significant research for full scale

ATLAS Grid implementation

• Oct. 31, 2002: Complete purchasing the Remainder• Oct. 31 – Dec. 31, 2002:

– System Installation and Burn-in– Software (both DØ and Grid) installation– Constant transfer and fill disks with DØ Data– Establish and implement Grid enabled batch control system– Establish user pool to become a DØRAC– Start DØ Reconstruction

• Jan. 2003: DØRAC workshop

Yr. 1 Implementation-cont’d


Necessary Venders

• Fiber channel IDE RAID array venders• IDE DISK venders • Processing farm PC and disk/file server venders• Gbit switch venders• RACK enclosure venders


Where do we want to be in the year 2005?

• A proposal to the DØ collaboration has been written and submitted to establish DØ Regional Analysis Centers

• We want to become a DØ RAC w/ the following minimum capacity– Disk Storage Capacity: >110TB (Need additional 85.5TB)– Total Processing CPU power: >400 GHz (Need additional

310GHz)– Network: Minimum 1GBit/sec outside connection– Person power: 2 system support (Need one more)– Tape storage: >70TB (Don’t have this yet)

• Ultimately become an ATLAS Tier II site, building upon this infrastructure
