Description
The Nordic Grid facility (NorduGrid) came into production operation during
the summer of 2002 when the Scandinavian Atlas HEP group started to use
the Grid for the Atlas Data Challenges and was thus the first Grid ever
contributing to an Atlas production. Since then, the Grid facility has
been in continuous 24/7 operation offering an increasing number of
resources to a growing set of active users coming from various scientific
areas including chemistry, biology, informatics. As of today the Grid has
grown into one of the largest production Grids of the world continuously
running Grid jobs on the more than 30 Grid-connected sites which offer
over 2000 CPUs.
This article will start with a short overview of the design and
implementation of the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC), the NorduGrid
middleware, which delivers reliable Grid services to the NorduGrid
production facility. This will be followed by a presentation of the
logging facility of NorduGrid, describing the logging service and the
collected information. The main part of the talk will focus on the
analysis of the collected logging information: usage statistics, usage
patterns (what is a typical grid job on the NorduGrid looks like?). Use
cases from different application domains will also be discussed.
