  1. Introduction Welcome to the 9th GridPP Collaboration Meeting • Dissemination Officer • GridPP2 Posts • Tier-2 Centres Steve Lloyd, Chair of GridPP Collaboration Board GridPP9 Introduction

  2. Dissemination Officer • Welcome to Sarah Pearce • For her to disseminate your work • You have to tell her about it • Especially interested in • news, articles and papers for the website • links with other e-science projects or industry • any dissemination you've been doing • Please introduce yourself at this meeting • Arrange to make contact etc (s.pearce@qmul.ac.uk) GridPP9 Introduction

  3. Role of Dissemination Officer • lead all dissemination and public relations activities within GridPP; • be an ex-officio member of the PMB; • promote the UK Particle Physics Grid and its use by other experiments and disciplines; • develop industrial links and contacts; • liaise with PPARC PUS; • oversee the overall design of the GridPP Website and ensure that content is up to date and relevant; • coordinate demonstrations and act as 'Booth Manager' at events such as e-Science All Hands meetings and Open Days; • represent GridPP and its interests at relevant events; • ensure the timely release of news items and press releases; • maintain up to date lists of GridPP publications, talks and promotional material; • exploit PUS and other PR funding opportunities; • ensure that the GridPP PMB and other management boards are fully aware of publicity issues and funding and collaboration opportunities; • act upon requests for help with publicity or industrial liaison from all members of GridPP or external bodies; • report to the Project Manager on matters relating to any project deliverables and milestones defined within her purview. GridPP9 Introduction

  4. GridPP2 Posts • GridPP2 Approved - £15.9M plus a possible further £1M to LCG at CERN subject to strong case to Science Committee • Essentially the so-called "Regained Programme" • GridPP2 Tendering Process • Proforma-1s (Report on GridPP1 Work) received by 12 December. • Assessed by PMB by 9 January • Currently feedback being sent to PIs by TD • Proforma-2s (Specification of future work) available by 19 December • Proforma-3s (Bids for posts) received by 9 January. • Assessed by Peer Review Selection Committee (PRSC) on 16 January GridPP9 Introduction

  5. PRSC • Peer Review Selection Committee • Steve Lloyd (Chair) • Dave Britton • Nick Brook • Jon Butterworth PPRP • Tony Doyle • Neil Geddes PPARC • George Lafferty PPGP • Robin Middleton • Les Robertson CERN • Pete Watkins CNAP GridPP9 Introduction

  6. PRSC Outcome • 33 Bids approved • subject to varying amounts of iteration on deliverables • 4 Bids not yet approved • but should be - subject to successful renegotiation of deliverables • 2 part bids to be re-tendered for one post (BaBar) • 7 bids rejected • 1 new post to be re-tendered for one post (Portal) GridPP9 Introduction

  7. PRSC Outcome Tender Document Outcome 5 Tier-2 Tier-2 6 +1 Data Management -1 Data Management Middle/Sec/Net Middle/Sec/Net 14.5 16 -1 Network -0.5 Workload +1 LHC Deployment + 1 Portal + 1 PhenoGrid -1 LHC Deployment 18.5 18 Applications Applications -0.5 BaBar 13.5 13.5 Tier-1 Tier-1 52.5 52.5 GridPP9 Introduction

  8. GridPP Portal • PRSC did not approve CALICE, MICE or UKDMC bids • Agreed that GridPP resources should be available to these experiments (and others) • Suggested 1 new post to develop a "GridPP Portal" • That CALICE, MICE, UKDMC... can use if they want to • Can be used for dissemination purposes – demonstrations, small scale production... • New Proforma-2 (SL) in a couple of weeks • Invite Proforma-3 bids against this. GridPP9 Introduction

  9. Loose Ends • Approved posts to agree deliverables with DB • Not yet approved posts to agree programme with PMB • New Tenders for • GridPP Portal • Getting BaBar on the Grid • Further 8.5 Tier-2 Hardware support and operations staff ('Pro-rata') • See later GridPP9 Introduction

  10. Timeline • Till 18 February • prepare for Oversight Committee/Grid Steering Committee • By 1 March • DB to develop detailed Financial Plan (against which new PPARC grants can be signed off) • After 1 March • iteration/discussion on Project Map deliverables • Mid March to Mid April • JES Submission as soon as discussions complete • Need to assess impact of ARDA, Metadata Group.... GridPP9 Introduction

  11. Tier-2 Centres • It was agreed (CB etc) that the 8.5 Hardware support and Operations staff would be allocated 'pro-rata' to: • The 'amount' of disk and CPU 'committed' to GridPP from 2004-2007. • What does 'amount' mean? • What does 'committed' mean? • Need to define these in an MoU between GridPP and the Tier-2 Centres. GridPP9 Introduction

  12. Tier-2 MoUs GridPP wants: • Access to Tier-2 resources • For all experiments • Up to an agreed level of integrated utilization (target share) • Appropriate OS, middleware and application software installed • On dedicated GridPP front ends if necessary • Sufficient accessible monitoring so that service levels can be ratified GridPP9 Introduction

  13. Tier-2 MoUs The Tier-2 Centres want: • GridPP Manpower to run them • Control of their own resources • Nothing that compromises their own Security • Their own target share of the resources • As little prescription of OS, software etc as possible – especially on the back end (worker) nodes • Support from GridPP Operations Team GridPP9 Introduction

  14. Tier-2 Centres Next moves: • Attempting to set up a 1 day meeting between Tier-2 centres and GridPP to try and produce an acceptable draft MoU • GridPP: SL + TD + JG/DK • SouthGrid: Jeff Tseng + ... • ScotGrid: Tony (2 hats) Doyle + ... • NorthGrid: Roger Jones + ... • London: Dave Colling + ... • Hope is that the ... is 1 or 2 per Tier-2 so that we can sit round a table. • Not looking hopeful – Phone Confs instead?
