• EL9 progress: Yum repo infrastructure is up and testing infrastructure foundations are laid. Next step, kick off integration tests
  • HTCondor 10: Caltech provided some feedback on 9 -> 10 upgrades and we identified some improvements to be made to the HTCondor upgrade documentation. Still interested in ATLAS experiences!
  • New WLCG benchmarks
    • GRACC centrally handles WLCG accounting for US LHC sites. Your CEs should automatically be uploading accounting records to the GRACC and the GRACC sends monthly summaries to the WLCG.
    • Sites are expected to report HEPScore in addition to HEPSpec starting on April 1
    • Sites are NOT expected to run the new benchmark on old hardware
    • New hardware /should/ be benchmarked with the HEPScore
    • In Topology, where we keep track of HEPScore numbers, we plan to add the ability to keep track of the percentage of a site bencharmked on HEPScore vs HEPSpec
