The purpose of this workshop is to share and collect current knowledge and experience in cloud computing within ATLAS and its related communities, and discuss future directions.
If you would have relevant work/plans/resources/ideas to present, please let us know. Due to the short notice of the meeting, we will welcome remote presentations. Feel free to further distribute this mail to interested colleagues.
Note also that we have set up a new mailing list for this R&D activity: atlas-adc-cloudcomputing@cern.ch. Future announcements will only go to this list - please sign up if you are interested in joining the Cloud Computing R&D project.
Cheers,
Fernando Barreiro, Kaushik De, Dan van der Ster, Rod Walker
ADC Cloud Computing R&D Coordinators
The primary goals of this R&D project are
• to evaluate the available cloud technologies in relation to the use-cases presented by ATLAS data management, processing and analysis,
• to design a model for transparently integrating cloud computing resources with the ADC software and service stack
• to implement the ATLAS cloud computing model into DDM, PanDA and related tools and services.
Some of the potential ADC use-cases which will be investigated include:
• Monte Carlo simulation on the cloud with stage-out to traditional grid storage or long-term storage on the cloud
• Data reprocessing in the cloud (with a strong caveat related to cost
• Distributed analysis on the cloud using data which is accessed remotely to the grid sites, or analysis of data which is located in the cloud
• Resource capacity bursting which is managed centrally (e.g. to handle urgent reprocessing tasks) or regionally (e.g. to handle urgent local analysis requests)
