ISS-ALICE: Alien and gLite

Ionel STAN

First Annual Meeting of the Romanian Tier-2 Federation

29-30 November 2007

Grid for ALICE Collaboration

•  AliEn middleware installed on ~ 40 nodes•  ISS site started in PDC06

Common activities within ALICE off-line on the development of the

simulation framework and analysis tools:

   - Simulation of Muon Arm Spectrometer;   - Development of the simulation interface based on Geant4 toolkit;   - Interface to Geant3, Geant4 and Fluka tracking;

   - Geometrical modeling of ALICE geometry.

• 32 nodes (dual Xeon 3GHz, 4GB RAM)

What we have?

storage capacity 5TB

Human Performance Concept - HuP

• The human being performance, as a whole, implies rising to a higher level the ancient adagio “Mens sana in corpore sano”...... and means bio-, neuro-, and mental- control.• What do have in common space, medical, sports and technological research with HuP? …… the mix-disciplinary challenge to extract knowledge from a huge amount of specialized data, in order to assess, enhance and stimulate HuP.

Medical & HUP GRID - related Projects

• Funding: The AEROSPATIAL Programme• Projects: INGRID, HUP-GRID, EXTREM-GRID• Projects partners:

• Institute for Space Sciences (project coordinator)• National Institute for Sports Research (project coordinator)• ROSA Research (project coordinator)• Floreasca Emergency Hospital• Fundeni Clinical Institute• Onlinesolutions Media srl• “Lucian Blaga” University - Sibiu• National Institute for Aeronautic and Space Medicine

gLite 3.1 Middleware

• Supported platforms: Scientific Linux 4 (SL4)• In present gLite 3.1 site is in testing• We have 4 working nodes• One CE• One Vobox in Alice• One SE whith 250GB ( for testing purposes)

To do

- gLite Middleware – finish testing and launch site

- Alien Middleware Until 2008 ~ 300 CPUs

- ISS try to become a stable multidisciplinary GRID site
