Domenico Vicinanza 1-31 July 2006 Major work for EUMEDGRID WP2 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The major effort for the EUMEDGRID WP2 has been carried out by writing, editing and revising the Deliverable 2.2. The document is now almost ready and a full first draft has been submitted to the WP2 and WP3 on July, 28th. A final draft will be submitted for review on August 4th. Completed: Introduction, ToC, References, Purpose of the Document, Application Area and Executive summary Chapters 1, 3 Appendix A Missing: Chapter 2, sections 1 and 2, whose responsible is INFN and some contribution (7 NGIs factsheets) for Chapter 4, which have to be provided by 7 partner countries. Major work for EUMEDGRID WP3 ---------------------------------------------------------------- A SAM (System Availability Monitoring) tutorial, given at CERN/IT by Piotr Nyczyk, started on July 18th. The main attendees were EELA, EUCHINA, EUMEDGRID and BALTIGRID CERN people. Minutes has been taken and put on indico at the URL: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=4939 Alexandre Duarte set up a TWiki page on SAM installation available at: http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/Installation_Manual Together with the training course, it has been set up a Linux (SLC3) machine (namely lxb6114.cern.ch for EUMEDGRID) and an Oracle account to test the SAM installation, configuration and day-by-day use. Major work for LCG Testing; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- The contribution to the testing and certification activities is still suspended, to concentrate all the efforts to the SAM training and the Deliverable 2.2 writing, editing and coordination activities. This decision has been taken in agreement with Florida Estrella and Markus Schulz. Major events attended (include links to event/presentation) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Attended the EUMEDGRID (User and Administrator) Tutorial held in Istanbul, Technical University from Monday July 3rd 2006 to Friday July 07th 2006. Agenda available at the following URL: http://agenda.eumedgrid.org/fullAgenda.php?ida=a0657 During that tutorial I gave two lectures as tutor: - The GENIUS Grid Portal - Hands on Genius Plans to attend/organize major events (intra-EGEE and others) ------------------------------------------------------------- - Participation to the EELA conference (where I am invited to give a talk about a sonification package I developed when I was working at the Univ. of Salerno, Italy and which has been officially taken as one of the regional applications for the EELA project) and Tutorial (where I am going to participate as tutor, giving six tutorial lectures), to be held in Santiago (Chile) from September 4th to 7th. - Participation to the EUMEDGRID Tutorial (September 11th-13th, where I am going to participate as tutor), Project Meeting (September 14th). Conference (September 15th), to be held in Rome, University of Roma3. Holidays during the periond ------------------------------------------------------------ 2 days

Project related * SAM/SFT - training, packaging with Piotr, partial installation/configuration, initial testing * GAMESS - app source code prep for porting to be usable on the grid. Issue is adaptation to clusters, as the default mode of operation is to run on a cluster with very small number of users & no scheduling option. * Workshop preparation in Vil Univ - agenda with Algimantas, logistics, presentations * Ticket processing, site operations support * CESGA/APEL have problems with accounting data - investigating. Section related * Grid Manager on duty for CERN Prod sites (this is not the same as the C-o-D) - this is the 3rd week in operation. 31July-4Aug; Ticket processing, participating in meetings, preparing reports Issues/Problems * Previous issue addressed. Shifting to apps support.
