<p>o XCache testing at FZK_LMU (Nikolai Hartmann)</p>

<p>- Testbed built with 'old' disk server (2012). Still very encouraging results. Some other configurations&nbsp;<br>
suggested by Ilija will be tested in the coming month(s)</p>

<p>-Data access performances are in line with previous measurements at CERN and providing again hints of the usefulness of cache usage to provide efficient&nbsp;latency hiding&nbsp;</p>

<p>- Next step is also to understand the non negligible failure rate</p>

<p>- CERN (David Smith) will setup a similar testbed&nbsp;making use of a controlled&nbsp;environment with simulation capabilities (latency, bandwidth, etc.)&nbsp;</p>

<p>o Virtual Placement and scheduling with caches (I. Vikotic)</p>

<p>- Very nice model and results based on simulation. Ilija would like to have cross-check from other person</p>

<p>- Ilija promised to include a 'Sequence Diagram' to explain the algorithm</p>

<p>o Distributed dCache project (P. Millar)&nbsp;</p>

<p>- Include cache layer within dcache infrastructure</p>

<p>- Testbed being built with DESY and Kurchatov</p>
