Possible (St.Petersburg) scenarios
for LHC data analysis
Valuable fraction of the data analysis will
be done at PNPI and around (it means
PNPI has to behave as St.Petersburg
regional leader);
only PNPI computing facility will be used
for the analysis;
PNPI will use all the available computing
power.

LHC Data analysis
at PNPI and around
In total we plan to have in 2005:
100-200 physicists involved into analysis;
50K-90K SpecInt95 of processor power;
20-50TB disk cache;
50TB-100TB tape library (tape robot);
All the equipment could be used in
different manner:
In one place (for example at PNPI);
In several places in SPb and Gatchina.

PNPI needs for computing
power
We should have as soon as possible:
Small tape library (10 cartridges) with drive
DLT 8000 (about $10K);
0.5TB disk cache (about $10K);
1K SpecInt 95 (about 10 dual processor 1
GHz) (about $20K);
Network Equipment and Accessories
(about $2K).

PNPI urgently needs for
at least 2 Mbit to SPb
Currently available link from PNPI to SPb
is reasonably below critics;
That means PNPI needs to upgrade the
link to SPb (not the Internet);
I would like to emphasize that partner
Universities at SPb do need for the same
(good channel in between Universities and
PNPI).

Completed tasks
in year 2000 (1)
 Seminar at SPb University (March 2000);
 CERNlib and related software was installed at
IHPC&DB.
 Published paper on LHC computing at Russian
journal ‘Byte Russia’ number 2, 2000.
 Meetings at PNPI on LHC computing (see
‘www.pnpi.spb.ru/RRCF’).
 Upgrade of the existing computing farm.

Completed tasks
in year 2000 (2)
It was created and checked the testbed for
system Globus:
Globus was installed on the cluster
‘pcfarm.pnpi.spb.ru’ and Linux station
‘future76.pnpi.spb.ru.
The people from HPC&DB installed Globus
on ‘spp.csa.ru’ and ‘whitecrow.csa.ru’.
It was installed client part of AFS on
‘pcfarm’.

Conclusion
PNPI needs In nearest future (better in
2001) to upgrade the link to SPb.
PNPI needs to realize in nearest future
(better in 2001) the 10-20 processor
computing farm. Proposal was submitted
to Russian fund “Integracia”.
PNPI has to work in close relation to all
parallel programs: Russian RIVK BAK,
GriPhyN, Data Grid and others.

Our view for level of
Russian Federation
Creating the large scale distributed
computing platform is attractive activity;
many young students and other people
will take participation the project. Such a
participation would be attractive for
advanced commercial companies in
several areas: computing,
communications, education, publishing.
I think we have to work together.
