MONITORING SERVICES

- NGI seems not be able, or not enough motivated to ensure reliable SAM services for RO-LCG

- RO-LCG site admins of are not notified about the problems

=> development of a parallel system for SAM and real-time notificationThe service is provided through IFOPS VO, which plays a similar role as OPS.The tests are modified to replace the part wich publishes the results to a STOMP server with the gsi-ftp transfer to GriNFiC's WMS. The results are collected and published using Nagios.

NUMBER of LCG JOBS

During the last 12 months RO-LCG provided 1,72 % of

the total number of jobs processed by all the Tier-2

centres worldwide, ranking 11th of 33 countries in the

WLCG collaboration


GRID PRODUCTION on the 3 LCG VOs

RO-LCG had a higher annual rate of growth than Tier-2s

(Nov.2010-Oct.2011 / Nov.2009-Oct.2010)

RO-LCG rate of production growth: 2.25

Worldwide rate of growth of Tier-2s on the 3 VOs: 2.03

ORGANIZATION

Romanian Association for the Promotion of the Advanced Computational Methods in Scientific Research (ARCAŞ) - organization of scientists, IT professionals, and institutions engaged in the use of high performance computing technologies and methods for scientific research.

ARCAŞ is a Romanian private legal entity, apolitical, non-governmental, non-profit, which complies with the Romanian laws in force.

The purpose of ARCAŞ is to unify and coordinate at national level the efforts of the scientific community towards the promotion and development of advanced computational methods and the realization of a sustainable computing infrastructure for scientific research.

Founded in 2011 by a group of professionals from UAIC, IFIN-HH, ISS, UPB, UTCN, ROSA, UVT

Main objectives:

• Support of the development and application of advanced computational methods in scientific research, such as HPC, Grid computing, and cloud computing

• Strengthening the role of the scientific research and education community in the coordination at the national level of the HPSC activity

FUNDING

RO-LCG Grid infrastructure was realized in the framework of various national projects within programmes of the National Plan for Research, Development and Innovation 1 & 2 (PNCDI1 & PNCDI2), financed by the National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS)

GRIDIFIN infrastructure was realized with funding from the GRICEFCO project, special structural funds call SOP IEC 2.2.3 for Grid and RoEduNet

The collaboration with LIT-JINR / Dubna in the framework of the Hulubei-Meshcheriakov programme (2005-2013), theme Optimization Investigations of the GRID and Parallel Computing Facilities at LIT-JINR and Magurele Campus

The operational support of the HPC infrastructure that will be accessed through GriNFiC benefits of the FP7 HP-SEE project High-Performance Computing Infrastructure for South East Europe’s Research Communities, www.hp-see.eu
