There is a need to understand performance of ATLAS analysis queues, and eventually improve it. We will start with US sites and try to document our findings. Hopefully our experience will help to all ATLAS grid sites.
The two things we will try to steer clear off:
1. Micromanaging sites.
2. Micromanaging ATLAS code.
We'll use continuously running HC functional test jobs to look at performance of each site, try to understand any features we observe. While direct comparison between sites is not possible, we'll try to bring them all to it's optimal performance.
