Discussion of Manchester WLCG Workshop agenda

Wednesday 31 May 2017, 16:00 → 17:55 Europe/Zurich

513/1-022 (CERN)

Julia Andreeva (CERN)

 

1 Security and Trust session

Speaker: David Crooks

2 Medium term evolution - Compute

Speaker: Gavin McCance (CERN)

 

• Would quite like to add a bit of the "mid-SLA" stuff in there - maybe it would fit with a few slides in Maarten's talk? The aim is to spark a discussion on why we're probably going to have to live with pre-emption in the future for our physics workloads (imho)

 

• I wonder if we might take the Singularity intro, RAL container site experience, container security talk + discussion and make a distinct session out of it, chaired by David and myself?
• I'm hoping to use this discussion as a launch-off for the Container WG since its a good opportunity to extract the experience and concerns of the sites

3 Network session

Speakers: Shawn Mc Kee (University of Michigan (US)), Tony Cass (CERN)

4 Operations

Speaker: Jose Flix Molina (Centro de Investigaciones Energéti cas Medioambientales y Tecno)

5 Monitoring

Speaker: Alberto Aimar (CERN)

 ------------

- Status, plans, demo of WLCG Monitoring (esp. migration of dashboards)    -  25'

 - ElasticSearch at CERN (I have been asked about it) - 10'

 - Plans of Experiments  regarding ES and MONIT (separate talks, or a single overview? If so by whom? ) - 15'

 - Q and A - 10'

-----------

Discussed with ES and Experiments for their contributions.

6 Benchmarking

Speaker: Domenico Giordano (CERN)

Benchmarking session's preparation

Andrew presented the CPU Unit concept at the MB. There is not need to present again the concept during the workshop. 

• this means that there is 1/2 hour free, not necessary needed for the benchmarking discussion (that is already 90' long)

7 IS evolution

Speaker: Julia Andreeva (CERN)

8 Medium term evolution - Data

Speaker: Oliver Keeble (CERN)

9 Efficency and cost

Speaker: Markus Schulz (CERN)
