2GISELA – Final Project Review - Brussels – 11/10/2012

www.gisela-grid.eu

“Ensure the sustainability of the EU-LA e-Infrastructure”

“Establish a powerful e-Infrastructure facility built on the EELA-2 legacy”

• WP4

– Implement the catchall Grid Support Centre (GSC)

– Implement a Grid Operations Centre (GOC)

– Setup and operate the e-Infrastructure following the best practices

recommended by EGI

• WP5

– Implement the Network Support Centre (NSC)

– Deploy Network monitoring tools

– Deploy a ticket system to manage network issues

WP4 & WP5 Objectives

GISELA – Final Project Review - Brussels – 11/10/2012

www.gisela-grid.eu

• The catchall Grid Support Centre (GSC) has been deployed

• 2 Grid Operation Centres (GOC) are operational (UNAM, Uniandes)

• The e-Infrastructure operation is fully EGI compliant through the adoption of common services and practices, of Operational Level Agreements (OLA) with RCs, etc.

• Experienced Operation Teams (core & RCs) are in place (EELAs + GISELA legacy)

• Baseline Operation tasks ensured routinely– Site integration support

– Prod.vo.eu-eela.eu VO operation

– Resource Centres oversight (monitoring, ticket handling)

– Software deployment as requested by WP3

WP4: Achievements


www.gisela-grid.eu

WP4: CPU Cores integration

Number of Cores, basically as committed in the DoW

5

+ 3000 Cores, from Friend Institutions, open to Prod-VO


www.gisela-grid.eu

WP4: RC / Resources situation

CPU, Storage resources by the end of GISELA

•Less RCs than foreseen:– Expectations included former EELA-2 partners that are neither GISELA partners nor third parties– Grouping for cost-effective support

WP4: e-Infrastructure load per RC

Steady usage over the entire reporting period


Cumulative load per Resource Center (wall-time hours)

• The Network Support Centre (NSC) has been deployed as Partition of the RedCLARA NSC

• A perfSONAR Network platform is operational allowing to monitor inter-RCs network activity. It consists of:

– 5 Measurements Points currently scattered over the region

– A Web-based monitoring tool (MonGISELA) further adopted by the

CLARA Work Group (GT-Mediciones)

• A Ticket System has been installed to handle the network issues

WP5: Achievements



perfSONAR Measurements Points

MonGISELA Home Page

Monitoring of network activity between RCs

WP5: Monitoring Infrastructure



• Average delay of 120 milliseconds

• Less than 1% average packet loss

• Average delay of 80 milliseconds

• 3% average packet loss

WP5: Inter-RCs network monitoring


Performance assessment of the GISELA’s Network Infrastructure

• Packets delay and packet loss rate (UFRJ - CEDIA)

• Packets delay and packet loss rate (ULA - UFRJ)

www.gisela-grid.eu

• Sustainability scheme: Mexico Declaration agreement

– UNAM taking over the prod.vo.eu-eela.eu VO Operation

VOMS, MyProxy, LFC, LB, UI, WMS, AMGA already deployed

The only catch-all VO available for small research groups in LA (thanks to GISELA)

• Handover Status (end of September 2012)

– ROC Operations

Resource Centres handed over to ROC-LA (HEP LA ROC)

IGALC sites that are still active have been/are being handed over

Continuity of RC operation supported by each local Institution

Support still being given by the GSC to ensure the smoothest transition


WP4: Sustainability scheme / Handover Status

www.gisela-grid.eu

•Sustainability scheme

– Future NSC as a Partition of RedCLARA NSC

– perfSONAR: standard support by RedCLARA

– MonGISELA cared of by RedCLARA & GT-Mediciones

WP5: Sustainability scheme



WP4WP5

WP4 & WP5: e.o. 2012 planning


www.gisela-grid.eu

• WP4 & WP5 have successfully established Advanced Computing & Network resources for e-Science in Latin America, in legacy of EELA and EELA-2

• The Distributed Computing Infrastructure is constructed from the most natural “building blocks”– Resource Centres in Local Institutions providing computing & storage

resources and their support– One distributed Operation Centre for the Core operations: ROC-LA

merging the GSC and GOC functions– NRENs ensuring all Network services under the federative coordination

of CLARA

• The long-term of the DCI operation and support is granted by– A cost-effective agreement involving UNAM, Uniandes, CEDIA, etc.

– Full EGI compliance
