The RAL-LCG2 batch farm has been running at 50% occupancy or less since June. For October, the nominal LHC VO's total fairshare of the farm was ~73%, but we only saw ~14% utilisation by the LHC VOs. Total occupancy for October was about 34%, with non-LHC VOs (mainly BaBar, biomed, phenogrid) contributing the rest. (Occupancy is measured as utilised KSI2K divided by total KSI2K capacity.)
We would like to find out whether or not the experience of other T1s has been similar over the last few months, or if the lack of LHC work is specific to RAL-LCG2 and we should investigate further.
