CROSSGRID WP4 2

Motivation and Objectives• Motivation the involvement in Grid Testbeds

Participation in LHC experiments (HEP):ATLAS

Participation in Air Pollution Modelling

• Objectives: Initial development and exploitation of a Grid infrastructure in

Valencia. Physics and Chemistry analysis preparation for Grid computing. Provide support and infrastructure for:

Development of Grid applications; Test and validation of Grid applications.

CROSSGRID WP4 3

GRID Projects

• DATAGRID (from European Union)• CROSSGRID (from European Union)• SPECIAL ACTION (Spanish Ministry

of Science and Technology)• Three-Years Project (Spanish Ministry

of Science and Technology)

CROSSGRID WP4 4

Current Grid Activities

• Evaluation of the DATAGRID middleware• Implementation of the Valencia testbed site:

Maintenance of a Globus meta-directory: Institutional MDS of Valencia “dc=ific, dc=es, o=Grid”

Integration of Valencia into the DATAGRID testbed:Globus gatekeeper;Globus Condor and PBS job-manager;GSI authentication through the Spanish (in IFCA) CAEtc,...

Participation in DATAGRID testbeds 0 and 1

CROSSGRID WP4 5

Current Grid Activities• We are participating in this year in the DATA CHALLENGE 1 (DC1)

of ATLAS experiment with two goals: Event productions in our farm in order to provide samples for physics

studies and make the Technical Design Report for the end of 2002. To test in our farm the new software, including Geant4, the new event

data model and the evaluation of two database technologies, Objectivity and Root-I/O.

• 400k events have been simulated in DC1 phase 1 (non EDG used, but foreseen for phase 2 ) Total CPU time: 21 Khours Total disk space: 1.1 TBytes

CROSSGRID WP4 6

Networking in Spain

• ISP: RedIris (Spanish Academic Research Network)Geant connectivity at 2.5 Gbits/s.US connectivity at 180 Mbits/s.

CROSSGRID WP4 7

Valencia Networking

• Gigabit Ethernet Backbone in local area network.

• Fibre optic link with University BackBone using Gigabit Ethernet

• Fibre optic link of 155 Mbits/s with IP over ATM from the University to RedIris (Shared among other Universities and research centers of the “Comunitat Valenciana”)
