  1. Welcome to the 15th GridPP Collaboration Meeting Introduction 12 Months of GridPP Events Officer Post GridPP Funding Tier-2 Outturn Steve Lloyd, Chair of the GridPP Collaboration Board

  2. 12 Months of GridPP In the twelfth month of 2005, GridPP gave to me: (from Sarah Pearce) • Twelve hours of webcast (the Beyond Einstein webcast, with a UK section from Imperial College) • Eleven hours demonstrating (for Dave Colling and Roger Jones at Supercomputing) • Ten sites in Ireland (the DTeam and Tier-2 Board had meetings in Dublin) • Nine GridPP rugby shirts (at the UK e-science All Hands Meeting) • Eight weeks working on Ganga (for Ruth Dixon del Tufo, a GridPP summer student) • Seven hundred Gigabytes (between Lancaster and RAL through UKLight, as part of Service Challenge 3) • Six million ATLAS events (in the Rome production) • Five sysadmins (upgrading to LCG 2.4) • Four Tier-2s (running SRM) • Three EGEE reviewers (the report on the first EGEE review was published in March) • Two days at Brunel (for GridPP 12) • and a software course for LHCb (in Cambridge) GridPP15 Introduction

  3. Events Officer Bekki Pearce was GridPP Events Officer for about a year. She left just before Christmas to take up a job as an Events Officer in Cambridge. Neasan O’Neill has been appointed as the new GridPP Events Officer from this Monday. His email is n.oneill@qmul.ac.ukPlease introduce yourself to him at this meeting. GridPP15 Introduction

  4. Post GridPP Funding • GridPP2 ends on 31 August 2007 but some posts go on longer • e-Science funding has been absorbed into the normal PPARC budget and is no long ‘ear-marked’ • The GridPP Application posts and e-Science Experiment posts will be handled in the forthcoming Rolling Grants review – needs a case for continuation of each post, supported by the experiment(s) • There will be a separate call for the Tier-1 and Tier-2s plus deployment and middleware support – there are no details at the moment but the aim is that PPARC pays for these directly and not through some hidden fEC costs. GridPP15 Introduction

  5. Tier-2 Outturn GridPP15 Introduction

  6. Tier-2 Future • Will report outturn to PPARC at year end as for Tier-1 • 52% CPU, 27% Disk compared to MoU commitments • Very underused at present • Probably wise to delay further purchasing if possible • Need to gain confidence of the experiments that they can use Tier-2s – especially disk where there is a shortfall at Tier-1 but plenty at Tier-2s • Need a strategy for accounting/scheduling at Tier-2 • Need strategies for user analysis at Tier-2s Let’s make 2006 “The Year of the Tier-2” GridPP15 Introduction
