The HSF/WLCG cost and performance modeling working group was established in November 2017 and has since then achieved considerable progress in our understanding of the performance factors of the LHC applications, the estimation of the computing and storage resources and the cost of the infrastructure and its evolution for the WLCG sites. This contribution provides an update on the recent...
The BNL Computing Facility Revitalization (CFR) project aimed at repurposing the former National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS-I) building (B725) located on BNL site as the new datacenter for BNL Computational Science Initiative (CSI) and RACF/SDCC Facility in particular. The CFR project is currently wrapping up the design phase and expected to enter the construction phase in the first half...
I will be presenting how we are using our data collection framework (Omni) to help facilitate the installation of N9 (our new system) and how this all ties together with the Superfacility concept which mentioned in the fall.
A short report on what has happened, how we have organised ourselves, how we intend to present results etc. Note that the findings themselves will be discussed in other contributions - this is about how the group works.
We will report on the findings of the technology watch working group concerning CPUs, storage, networks and related fields
