Tier1 and Tier-2 Weekly Report 2012-12-18
General News
- UMD 2.3.1 has been released - https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast/archive/id/850
- ADC and ATLAS Computing News [20121218]
- ADC Weekly meeting
- LHC total delivered: 28.8 fb^-1 (27.0 recorded by ATLAS). pp run terminated yesterday. Heavy Ions in mid-January.
- 7 minute power cut at CERN tomorrow morning - not supposed to affect grid operations as on UPS.
- Issues with priority creep
- Historic way to finish old tasks - add 10 to priority every day, up to max 990
- Problems
- prio > 950 forces job to T1 only (avoid assigned and transferring delays)
- if cpucount > T1 maxtime the stuck
- now we increase cpucount in 2 ways: scouts and on walltime failure
- reduces resources for hi prio jobs!
- large lower prio old tasks swamp newer higher prio ones
- requester sets intended prio in steps of 100
- after 10 days, this is washed out
- Proposal
- short term: set cap at 930
- in new year, reduce daily creep to 1? - needs to be examined
- medium term: replace creep with intelligent task finisher
- boost nearly finished tasks and small tasks, etc.
- Reprocessing
- Periods A-H done, including reconstruction/merging
- Still some cleanup and unmerged DESD for physics streams, and unmerged ESD/AOD for JetCalibDelayed stream (~0.13 PB)
- Expect some of this to run over the Xmas break, but not sure who will be watching
- MC Production
- Planning over the Christmas Break (until end-Jan)
- Full sim hits go to disk, merged full sim go to TAPE; fast sim hits go to TAPE
- AOD and merged AOD go to DISK
- Few hundred million events to be produced - still deciding to double the fast sim production. Digi+reco is a bottleneck.
- Some concern about disk space needed plus monitoring at sites and competition with group production
- Group Production
- Physics groups are asked for prioritized list of DPD production by end of this week. Also asked what datasets can be deleted.
- Already have 1,700 cpu-years for data and 561 cpu-years for MC, 2.8PB of disk
- Are expecting to use 20% of T1 and 50% of T2 resources - no fudge factors
- Resource estimation: http://nozturk.web.cern.ch/nozturk/DPDProduction/DPD_Resource.numbers

SSB Results
- Critical tests for each site in the Site Status dashBoard are available at the links below
SSB PanDA Test Queue Availability (month)
- this metric, measured for the analysis queues, defines the site status for data preplacement as alpha (
T2D and avail > 90%), bravo (T2 and avail > 90%) or charlie (< 90%).
SAM Results
- site service status via Gridview
- Please check your site
