Experiments Reports

ALICE

• Normal activity levels on average.
• No major issues.

ATLAS

• Smooth Grid production over the last weeks with ~400k concurrently running grid job slots with the usual mix of MC generation, simulation, reconstruction, derivation production and user analysis and a small fraction of dedicated data reprocessing. This includes ~100k job slots from the HLT/Sim@P1 farm. Some periods of additional HPC contributions with peaks of ~100k concurrently running job slots running simulation using EventService.
• Commissioning of a new PanDA worker node pilot version on-going. We are continuing to slowly roll out the new version out to the sites and enabling singularity.
• CentOS7 migration still not finished - about 20-30% of Tier2s still in the process of migration: link

CMS

• smooth running, compute systems busy at about 230k cores
  • usual production/analysis mix, i.e. about 50k cores used by analysis
  • 2.7 billion events reconstructed so far of the B-physics data that could not be processed during Run 2 but were parked instead
  • heavy-ion data re-reconstruction 80% complete
  • Monte Carlo simulation of the 2018 detector configuration and to match the re-reconstructed 2017 data (ultra-legacy reconstruction)
• high-level trigger farm becoming available again after UPS fire

LHCb

Task Forces and Working Groups

GDPR and WLCG services

• Updated list of services
• Please follow Privacy Policy Discussion at the next GDB

Accounting TF

• WLCG Operations Team works on the new display which will combine CPU accounting and Storage Space Accounting plots. There will be also a possibility for site admins to validate auto-generated accounting data and only validated/corrected data would be included in the monthly accounting reports

Archival Storage WG

CREAM migration TF

Please see CreamMigrationTaskForce. A mailing list has been set up.

Information System Evolution TF

• Next meeting is on the 11th of July

IPv6 Validation and Deployment TF

Detailed status here.

Machine/Job Features TF

Monitoring

MW Readiness WG

Network Throughput WG

Squid Monitoring and HTTP Proxy Discovery TFs

• wlcg-wpad is now including squids that are registered with shoal.
  • While testing there was only one registered in shoal that wasn't also statically registered in GOCDB or OIM
  • Thinking about including shoal-agent in the frontier-squid rpm and making it very easy to auto-register with a config variable or two

Traceability WG

Two documents finalized within the WG, external feedback welcome:

• Policy recommendations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BmLutIcZZbX0ZqYVWIPDJOUVPNZrssM0SgQF7R3A1B4/edit
• VO current status & plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gf-s2DA2TIbY_z6Hg-HZ192fbS-fiPewKp3_j9f4qAg/edit

These results and the potential next steps will be presented and discussed at the GDB next week: https://indico.cern.ch/event/739880/

Container WG

Please see WLCGContainers. The latest meeting was held on July 3. Minutes to be added soon. In particular we seem to be close to a set of configuration recommendations compatible with the requirements from both ATLAS and CMS, expected to be fine also for ALICE and LHCb.
