The INFN GRID project

• The 1° National Project (Feb. 2000) aiming to develop the grid technology and the new e-infrastructure to solve LHC (and e-Science) computing requirements

• e-Infrastructure = Internet + new WEB and Grid Services on top of a physical layer composed by Network, Computing, Supercomputing and Storage Resources, made properly available in a shared fashion by the new Grid services

• Since then many Italian and EU projects made this a reality• Many scientific sectors in italy, EU and the entire World base now their

research activities on the Grid• INFN Grid continues to be the national container used by INFN to reach

its goals coordinating all the activities:– In the national, european and international Grid projects – In the standardization processes of the Open Grid Forum (OGF)– In the definition of EU policies in the ICT sector of Research

Infrastructures – Through its managerial structure: Executive Board, Technical Board…

The strategy

• Clear and stable objectives: development of the technology and of the infrastructure needed for the LHC computing but of general value

• Variable instruments: use of projects and external funds ( from EU, MIUR...) to reach the goal

• Coordination among all the projects (Executive Board) – Grid middleware & infrastructure Grid needed by INFN and LHC within

a number of core European and International projects, often coordinated by CERN

DataGrid, DataTAG, EGEE, EGEE II, WLCG– Often fostered by INFN itself

• International collaboration with US Globus and Condor for the middleware and Grid projects like Open Science Grid e Open Grid Forum in order to reach global interoperability among developed services and the adoption of international standards

• National pioneer developments of the MW and the national infrastructure in the areas not covered by EU projects via national projects like Grid.it , LIBI, EGG …

• Strong contribution to political committees: e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (eIRG ->ESFRI), EU Concertation meetings and with involved Units of Commission (F2 e F3) to establish activities programs (Calls)

• Regional Operations Centres (ROC)

– Front-line support for user and operations issues

– Provide local knowledge and adaptations

– One in each region – many distributed

– Manage daily grid operations – oversight, troubleshooting

“Operator on Duty”– Run infrastructure

services

15



Grid monitoring tools

• Tools used by the Grid Operator on Duty team to detect problems

• Distributed responsibility• CIC portal

– single entry point– Integrated view of monitoring tools

• Site Functional Tests (SFT) -> Service Availability Monitoring (SAM)

• Grid Operations Centre Core Database (GOCDB)

• GIIS monitor (Gstat)• GOC certificate lifetime• GOC job monitor• Others

16



Site Functional Tests

• Site Functional Tests (SFT)

– Framework to test (sample) services at all sites

– Shows results matrix– Detailed test log available for

troubleshooting and debugging– History of individual tests is kept – Can include VO-specific tests

(e.g. sw environment)– Normally >80% of sites pass

SFTs

• Very important in stabilising sites:

• Apps use only good sites• Bad sites are automatically excluded• Sites work hard to fix problems

• gLite WMS: Web service (WMProxy) + Condor-G– Management of complex workflows (DAGs) and compound jobs

bulk submission and shared input sandboxes support for input files on different servers (scattered

sandboxes)– Support for shallow resubmission of jobs– Job File Perusal: file peeking during job execution– Supports collection of information from CEMon, BDII, R-GMA and

from DLI and StorageIndex data management interfaces– Support for parallel jobs (MPI) when the home dir is not shared

Workload Management System (a.k.a. WMS, a.k.a. RB)

35



Workflows

• Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a set of jobs where the input, output, or execution of one or more jobs depends on one or more other jobs

• A Collection is a group of jobs with no dependencies

– basically a collection of JDL’s

• A Parametric job is a job having one or more attributes in the JDL that vary their values according to parameters

• Using compound jobs it is possible to have one shot submission of a (possibly very large, up to thousands) group of jobs

– Submission time reduction Single call to WMProxy server Single Authentication and Authorization process Sharing of files between jobs

– Availability of both a single Job Id to manage the group as a whole and an Id for each single job in the group

Accounting - DGAS

• DGAS: accumulates Grid accounting information– User, JobId, user VO, VOMS FQAN(role,capabilities), SI2K, SF2K,

system usage (cpuTime, wallTime…),…

– allows billing and scheduling policies– levels of granularity: from single jobs to VO or grid aggregations– Privacy: only the user or VO manager can access information

site managers can keep accounting information available just for site internal analysis

– Sites can substitute DGAS metering system with their own

The Italian e-Infrastructure: Grid.IT

• In 2006 ended Grid.IT, the 3+1 years National Project funded by MIUR with 12 M€ (2002-05)

• Grid.IT has been crucial to develop and complete the R&D phase for operating a Italian Grid Infrastructure Grid (IGI):– developed tools and services required for a national Grid Operation

Centre (GOC) integrated with EU Regional Operation Centres (ROC)– The italian GOC is run by INFN -CNAF in Bologna, but the effort is

distributed among other italian centres

• Grid.IT allowed to extend the e-Infrastructure support from INFN to other sciences, following the model successfully implemented with the Research Network (GARR)− from INFNet to GARR

38



The Italian Production Grid

• 39 RCs(31 in EGEE)

• >3400 CPUs >360 TB

• 33 VOs

The National Grid Central Management Team (CMT): – Activities:

‘integration’ and testing of the InfnGrid middleware release (based on gLite m/w release)

deployment procedures and configuration tools Monitoring and control of the status of the grid services and

resources

– Responsibilities: site registration procedure middleware deployment certification procedure for all InfnGrid sites Operation of the GRID services

43



Operations Support

• The Italian ROC provides local front line support to Virtual Organization, Users and Resources Centres

• The Italian Roc team is organized in daily shifts:– 2 people per shift, 2 shifts per day, from Monday to Friday.

• Activities planned during the shift– Log trouble tickets created, updated and closed, problems on

grid services and sites, monitor successful site certification– check the actions of the previous shift and the downtime page– check the status of production grid services and the GRIS

status of production CE and SE.– check the status of the production sites using the Site Functional

Tests report• Periodic (every 15 days) phone conferences

– ROC teams and site managers • Provide and write the ROC report for the weekly EGEE operation

meeting

44



Grid Monitoring

• The status of the Italian grid infrastructure is monitored using GridIce, – It is one of the monitoring tools used by EGEE– It is used to control

the status of the submitting queues Process/daemons status in the services (RB, BDII) VO view: list of CE and SE available for a the VOs and their status

and capacity Job monitoring

User, Operations and VO support

• The user support system provides tickets exchange between: – ROC on Duty and site managers– Site managers and Central management team and viceversa– Site manager and certification team during installation/upgrade– GGUS to ROC ROC to GGUS

• Italian ROC ticketing system is built upon a suite of web based tools written in PHP: Xhelp

• The support system components are accessible form the main interface of the deployment portal (grid-it.cnaf.infn.it) providing a SSO point of registration/identification certificate-based.

• The end-user can open a request, view and follow his own tickets and related replies;

• A supporter can view tickets assigned to his own groups, add responses and solutions, and change status/priority

• While operating tickets, a side content is always available for all classes of users (related to their access level) – Site Functional Tests, – site downtimes calendaring system– file archive– net query tools– IRC applet, contextual questions and answers– reports from daily shifts

Sustainability: Beyond EGEE-II

• Need to prepare for permanent Grid infrastructure– Ensure a reliable and adaptive support for all sciences– Independent of short project funding cycles– Infrastructure managed in collaboration

with national grid initiatives

50



FP7:guarantee sustainability

• The future of Grids in FP7 after 2008– EGEE proposed to European Parlament to set up an European Grid

Initiative (EGI) in order to: Guarantee long-term support & development to European e-

Infrastructure based on EGEE, DEISA and the Grid national projects being fundend by the National Grid Initiatives (NGI)

Provide a coordination framework at EU level as done for the research networks by Geant, DANTE and the National Networks like GARR

• The Commission asked that a plan for long-term sustainability Grid infrastructure (EGI + EGEE-III, …) to be included among the golas of EGEE-II (other than DANTE+ Geant 1-2)

• The building of EGI at EU level and of a National Grid Initiave at national level is among the main goals of FP7

51



Objectives in 2007: to define EGI

Objectives: – Operating the EU Productions Grid for all Sciences– Developing, integrating, testing, validating and distributing the Grid

middleware – Providing help, training and support to new users’ communities

EGI

52



The next step: EGI design study

• General agreement on the urgent need to prepare for a new “permanent” general EU Organization providing the evolution and operation of the Grid infrastructure at EU level– In collaboration with National Grid Initiatives (e.g.IGI)

• New FP7 proposal for a design study of a new European Grid Initiative (EGI) with the general objectives to:– Provide long term foundation for the operation of production Grid

infrastructures for all sciences in Europe in coordination with national initiatives

– Provide coordination at EU level for middleware development and standardization

– Integrate, test, validate and package Grid middleware for distribution

– Provide advice, training and support to new user communities

– Support industrial up taking

53



Italian objectives in 2007 :IGI

• In 2006 ended Grid.IT, the 3+1 years National Project funded by MIUR with 12 M€ (2002-05)

• The future: the Italian Grid Infrastructure (IGI) Association – EU (eIRG, ESFRI) requires the fusion of different pieces of National Grids into a

single National Organisation (NGI) to be unique interface to EU --> IGI for Italy– Substantial consensus for the cration of IGI for a common governance of the italian

e-Infrastructure from all involved public bodies:INFN Grid, S-PACI, ENEA Grid, CNR, INAF, Centri Nazionali di supercalcolo : CINECA, CILEA, CASPUR, and new consortia “nuovi PON”

– Under evaluation with MIUR the evolution of GARR towards a more general body to manage all the components of the infrastructure: Network, Grid, Digital Libraries…

• Crucial for INFN in 2007 will be to manage the transition from INFN Grid to IGI, in such a way to preserve and if possible enhance the organisation levels which allowed Italy to reach world leadership and become a leading partner of EGI

• Grids and e-Infrastructures are the enabling platform to establish the European Research Area, and to promote in Europe the scientific and industrial advanced research, able to build the critical mass for innovating all the sectors

• the e-Infrastructures like EGEE based on grid may enhance the possibility to access knowledge, creating a new market of IT resources and applications

• Future sustainability of e-Infrastructures for e-Science has to be guaranteed– -> EGI at EU level (Design study proposal)– -> IGI at national level

• The European project for the Open Source Middleware OMII-EU can provide an important opportunity for long-term exploitation of the grid technology
