  1. CERN openlab for DataGrid applicationsProgramme of Work 2004OverviewF.FluckigerTechnicalprogrammeS.Jarp

  2. openlab framework What is it? • A framework for sponsorship • IT “R&D” in collaboration with Industry • Sponsor commitments (Partner status) • CHF2.5M over 3 years • Contributions may be a mix of • In kind (HW, SW, training, …) • In cash (in general for fellows) • Sponsor commitments (Contributor status) • CHF0.25M over 1 year

  3. openlab framework What are we doing? • Evaluate and Integrate cutting edge solutions • Focus: LCG needs in the medium/longer term • Current Project: opencluster • IA-64 Compute farm (Intel + HP) • 10 GbE Networking (Enterasys + Intel) • Storage (IBM) • 10g database (Oracle) opencluster project

  5. Personnel Resources in 2004

  6. 2004 Programme • Organization • Work with new Strategy & Communications unit • Sponsors • Implement Contributor Status (probably with Infiniband manufacturer) • Strengthen collaboration with • LCG (Grid SW, HP participation in LCG) • EGEE (SW, Industry forum) • IT groups • PH/SFT team (ROOT, PROOF, GEANT4…) • LHC collaborations (Data Challenges, CMS, Alice)

  7. 2004 Programme • Interactions with sponsors • Thematic Wokshops (Probably on Security and High Speed Networking) • Board of Sponsor annual meeting • Involvement in EGEE Industry Forum • New projects, activities (e.g. security)? • Will depend on outcome of this meeting, sponsor interest • Challenges • Be useful • Choice of technology: strike right balance between conservatism and risks • Deliver findings • Meet sponsor expectations • Maintain technical consistency; build something coherent

  8. AnnexesAdditional information, not for show • Is openlab something new? • Elements of Timeline • Technical highlights Annex

  9. Is openlab something new? • Is it really different from • past (DD/CN/IT) joint projects? • today’s field test with industry? • Not totally, but definite differences • A common "agreement" framework • A common technical objective • Building something out of individual contributions • Collaborative work between sponsor engineers Annex
