1. Next Events

• GDB (Wednesday 12 Apr 2017)

  • 11:55 → 12:15 Benchmarking update - Domenico Giordano (CERN)

  • https://indico.cern.ch/event/578985/

  • Request for experiment contacts

    • provide short summary of your ongoing (and foreseen) activities in the WG and your current findings respect to the two main topics covered in the past weeks by our working group

      • correlation of experiments’ workloads (single and multicore) Vs HS06

      • correlation of experiments’ workloads (single and multicore) Vs DB12

    • This can include also

      • tests performed with DB12 at boot, or using instances that have MJF information extended with the DB12-at-boot information (such as GridKA resources) 

      • tests obtained including fast benchmarks in the job pilots 

2. In answer to a discussion in the last meeting about the availability of the CPU model of the host server in CERN OpenStack VMs 

• [Info from Arne Wielback] Available for projects having  cpu mode='host-passthrough' enabled. This matches with the ComputeOptimised projects, such as Batch, CMS Tier-0

  • Personal projects and Service projects do not have the feature enabled, then a Generic Model is passed (but still the CPU family is available)
