Description
The US ATLAS workshop on distributed computing will held at the University of Arizona in Tuscon on December 11-12, 2013. There will be a number of topics of interest relating to use of dedicated US ATLAS computing resources and approaches for leveraging campus compute resources for ATLAS analysis. A preliminary list is as follows:
- Introduction to the US ATLAS Distributed Computing Facility
- Overview of the Analysis Support group activities supporting distributed computing in US ATLAS
- Strategies for access and management of dedicated US ATLAS computing resources
- Usability of the Federated ATLAS Xrootd system (FAX) and wide area network-based data access
- Tier3 Task Force Implementation
- Support for maintaining and upgrading Tier3 clusters
- Networking performance monitoring (perfSONAR-PS) and connectivity issues (campus networks, science DMZs, LHC network peering)
-
Planned US ATLAS Computing Facility projects
- Virtual extensions to Tier3 clusters via job “flocking" into US ATLAS Tier2 centers
- FAXbox - an integrated storage service for analysis computation
- AtlasConnect - a service for high throughput analysis submission which uses Tier2s, campus grids, and Tier3 clusters
- CI Connect - an approach for leveraging compute resources at your institution
The meeting will be hosted by the High Energy Physics group at the University of Arizona.
