Experimental Computing

  • DUNE global pool submit host tested and ready for production
  • STAR support for Isobar/CME analysis were discussed.
  • ELK stack tested for multiple experiments and to be moved to production deployment
  • DOE Google offering being revisted, seeing if their products can be supported at lab.
  • Federated ID  - tested the Mattermost instance.

IT Fabric

  • Cooling failure on 6/15 - automated scripts for temp. monitoring powered down most of the systems, some were manually powered down.Mostly recovered, except for approx. 6  older systems
  • CVMFS - functional  with REANA on k8s cluster - provided useful support
  • HPSS - successfully tested modified batch/code, will inform for upgrade next week
  • GPFS client upgrade - requires draining jobs - schedule as one intervention soon as possible according to PHENIX/EIC groups.

IT Service Update

  • NX upgraded to version 7 - check for modifications of user interface for NX terminal nodes selection
  • Mattermost  - enable email notifications next week - will be global changes, users need to personalize accordingly
  • Website - fixed search options such as checking for 2 character words(for example NX). Additionally search results should be listed out  appropriately spaced in between each result/topic.
  • dCache - fixed network config issues causing internal dCache communication issues

Tools and Services Activity Summary

  • Overleaf - service available to users soon
  • Indico testing with federated access. Migrate from local accounts to federated access.
  • BNLBox usage - charges for bigger experiments after a certain  disk storage quota limit - to be discussed
  • IBM-Q project  - designing phase II forms

Temporary re-allocation of SDCC Farm worker nodes for STAR's Isobar activities

  • PHENIX run6 muon analysis -- Will request a temporary increase in resources  to catch up in time for DOE report in Sep.
  • EIC -- proto-collaborations informed about temporary loss of resources, will request an increase in the Fall to meet needs
