CMS Computing, Software, and Analysis challenge 2006 (CSA06)

• See CSA06

CMS Computing, Software, and Analysis challenge 2007 (CSA07)

Starting September 10 CMS plan to run a 30-day half-scale simulation of their full LHC computing model.

• See CMS CRB meeting of 15 May 2007 'CSA07 Planning' talk CSA07 and the detailed planning at the twiki CSA07Plan

CMS LoadTest07 transfer cycles

Starting 12 Feb CMS plan to run contiguous, repeated 5 weekly cycles of inter-site transfers to exercise CMS-driven transfers to meet CMS goals and provide the infrastructure to meet their own and WLCG milestones. Cycles should successively ramp up to the rates of CSA07. Tier-0 to Tier-1 data to go to tape. Sites can delete data once it is on tape. Tier-1 to Tier-1 and Tier-2 data to go to disk. Sites can delete physical files when they wish. For both tape and disk files CMS will delete them from its catalogues each Sunday.

• See CMS Week 1 Feb for the draft planning with descriptions of the cycles at DraftLoadTest07 and objectives and other links in CMS Week 1 March 'Facility Operations:Planning for data taking' talk LoadTest07

CMS Tier 1 Resource Requirements Timetable for 2006

TimeTable2006

CMS Tier 1 Resource Requirements Timetable for 2007/2008

• In any one year CMS expect to use up to the MoU pledged resources per site. For 2007/1Q2008 we use the Tier 1 average cpu+disk resource pledges (which add up to 100% of the cms requirements) to give the site shares:

ASGC to provide 12% of resources

CNAF to provide 16% of resources

FNAL to provide 36% of resources

FZK to provide 12% of resources

IN2P3 to provide 10% of resources

PIC to provide 6% of resources

RAL to provide 8% of resources

The site pledges for 2Q2008/1Q2009 exceed the cms cpu requirements by 8% but lag the disk requirements by 28%:

ASGC offers 12.5% of cpu+disk resources

CNAF offers 8.5% of cpu+disk resources

FNAL offers 35.5% of cpu+disk resources

FZK offers 10.5% of cpu+disk resources

IN2P3 offers 10% of cpu+disk resources

PIC offers 5% of cpu+disk resources

RAL offers 7.5% of cpu+disk resources

Renormalising this to 100% gives the per site shares of the total CMS requirements. These percentages are used to calculate the per site resource requirement spreadsheets:

ASGC to provide 14% of cpu+disk resources

CNAF to provide 9.5% of cpu+disk resources

FNAL to provide 40% of cpu+disk resources

FZK to provide 12% of cpu+disk resources

IN2P3 to provide 11% of cpu+disk resources

PIC to provide 5.5% of cpu+disk resources

RAL to provide 8% of cpu+disk resources
