Medium term evolution - Compute

• Gavin McCance (CERN)

Medium term evolution - Compute: Medium term evolution - Compute (continuation)

• Gavin McCance (CERN)

Description

TOPICS BEING CONSIDERED

• General review of compute models and commonalities of the LHC experiments. Input from Community White Paper ongoing work.

• Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Compute model - opportunities for common work

• Lightweight site review for Compute

• Mid-SLA compute - running on disk-servers - is there a place for pre-emption in our models to help us make better use of resources?

• External clouds: how can we make more use of them? Where do they fit in our models? What should we do there? How to procure/access them (via traditional sites or directly)?

• Use of containers (Singularity / Docker). Operational perspectives.

  • Replace glExec
  • Input to kick-off Container WG.
  • ..merging to security session on containers afterwards.
