Grid Applications in Taiwan

• LCG-1 Status– LCG-0 Deployed at March 19, 2003, just after RAL

and CNAF– ASGCCA Approved: June 12th, 2003– Keep 2~6 Staffs Stationed at CERN from July 2003

• Join GTA, DB, Application, and C&T teams for LCG Development

– LCG-1 Testbed Ready: July 30, 2003• Sep. 2: LCG1-1_0_0 Ready• Oct.28: LCG1-1_1_0 Ready• Nov. 7: LCG1-1_1_1.I Ready• Dec.: LCG1-1_1_3 Ready

LCG System Deployment

Current Status

• Acting as the East2 RegionGIIS• 1 Top MDS, 1 RB, 1 BDII, 1 UI, 1 Proxy,

1 LCFGng, 1 SE, 1 CE and 8 WNs• Tier2 Sites will be ready in 1Q2004 (NTU,

NCU & ASIP)• Keep system availability to 99.8%+• Manpower in ASCC for Grid (FTE)

LCG Grid Total

2003 4 3 7

2004 6 4 10

• IBM BladeCenter– Processor (around 1KSI2K/cpu)

• 2x SMP processors; BIOS type: IBM BIOS

• Processor (CPU): Intel Xeon 2.80 GHz

• Front side bus (FSB): 533 MHz

• Internal L2 cache memory size: 512 KB

– System Memory• Memory (RAM): 2GB DDR SDRAM (Chipkill)

• RAM slots total: 4 DIMM; Memory speed: 266 MHz

– Storage• 2x 40GB IDE Hard Drive in each Blade

• Connect to External Storage thru SAN Switch (2Gb)

– Networking: Gigabit Ethernet- Integrated

– System Architecture

• 14 Blades/Chases; 5 Chases(7U)/Rack(19’)

New Platform for LCG-2

• Will try to meet the 12, 19, 26 Jan Schedule– BUT, the Chinese New Year is on the way!

• 52 Blades will be ready by 31 Jan., 2004– is working on the installation and testing under LCG-1

– To fulfill the commitment of 60 nodes (16Nodes originally)

• Mass Storage System– Now using SAN and IBM TSM for management of 30TB+

disk arrays and 130TB+ Tape Library

– Will try Caster/Enstore from Feb. 2004

– Dedicated 5 TB+ disk array will be online in Mar.

• Willing to be a GOC in Asia• Plan to collaborate with Karlsruhe for GGUS
