The LHC Detectors CMS ATLAS ~6-8 PetaBytes / year ~108 events/year LHCb
R&D testbed Physics WAN Systems administration Mass Storage disks processors Funding • Requirements growing faster than Moore’s law • CERN’s overall budget is fixed Estimated cost of facility at CERN ~ 30% of offline requirements* Budget level in 2000 for all physics data handling *assumes physics in July 2005, rapid ramp-up of luminosity
World Wide Collaboration distributed computing & storage capacity CMS: 1800 physicists 150 institutes 32 countries

The Data Grid Project • Project supported by the EU Fifth Framework programme • Principal goal: collaborate with and complement other European and US projects • Project objectives: • Middleware for fabric & Grid management • Large scale testbed • Production quality demonstrations • Three year phased developments & demos • Open source and communication – • Global GRID Forum • Industry and Research Forum
The DataGrid Project More info on www.EU-DataGrid.org
Participants • Main partners: CERN, INFN(I), CNRS(F), PPARC(UK), NIKHEF(NL), ESA-Earth Observation • Other sciences: KNMI(NL), Biology, Medicine • Industrial participation: CS SI/F, DataMat/I, IBM/UK • Associated partners: Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Sweden (mostly computer scientists) • Industry and Research Project Forum with representatives from: • Denmark, Greece, Israel, Japan, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland • Collaboration with US similar GRID initiatives
Programme of work Middleware • Grid Workload Management (F. Prelz/INFN) • Grid Data Management (B. Segal/CERN) • Grid Monitoring services (R. Middleton/RAL) • Fabric Management (O. Barring/CERN) • Mass Storage Management (J. Gordon/RAL) Testbed • Testbed Integration (F. Etienne/CNRS) • Network Services (P. Primet/CNRS) Scientific Applications • HEP Applications (F. Carminati/CERN) • Earth Observation Applications (L. Fusco/ESA-ESRIN) • Biology Applications (C. Michau/CNRS)
Programme of work Dissemination • Dissemination (M. Lancia/CNR) Management and administration • General Project Management (F. Gagliardi/CERN)
Status of the project • Contract signed on December 29th, 2000 • Funding: 9.8 M Euros over 3 years (mostly FTEs) • Project started on 1/1/2001 • International test bed infrastructure being deployed • Architecture Task Force defined a first Architecture document. Presented and discussed in Amsterdam. • Project Technical Board discussed on April 19th on a delivery plan against the Architecture • First (internal milestone) at PM9
Other European Grid Projects • EuroGrid: uniform access to HPC centres, portals for industrial applications • DAMIEN: tools for Metacomputing • EU IST CPA9 call for Grid projects being evaluated now • Synergy expected and encouraged by funding agencies among EU supported Grid projects • GGF3 in Italy in the fall will be a good check point • EuroGlobus in 10 days
Conclusions • Data Grids becoming the very promising distributed computing technology for data intensive sciences and large “virtual” distributed communities • This builds on continuous improvement of international high performance networking, QoS and cost reduction • Importance of transatlantic test beds and large dedicated bandwidth • EU DataGrid seeking for additional funding to connect to the USA (and Star Tap) • More info on: www.EU-DataGrid.org
