Meeting between EIC reps and members of the OSG ET. Good communication and productive meeting. Presenttation by Markus Diefenthaler a EIC introduction.

A few emerging action items

  • Provide submit hosts on both JLab/ BNL sides. Add one hosted at CNAF (INFN) later.  

    • Submission from through the submit host from a lab vetted account will NOT require CERTIficates (if OSGConnect is desired, it WILL). Note - the EIC like a VO i.e. a group in the OSG hierarchy. Not pushing access via CERT implies the OSG negotiates the resources, not the VO.

    • We need names / POC from both labs

    • 1 Milion hours or so suggested as a start

  • Leverage OSG Data Federation (and caches) to allow datasets to be accessible from anywhere/everywhere 

    • 100 TB cache / storage. Data brought back to institution. Namespace merging JLab/BNL possible

  • Other

    • Possible use of containers via singularity many places (if required, will restrict to a subset of resources)

    • CVMFS - agreed to use BNL’s Stratum 0  fornow (access to Stratum 0 write for more users brought up - will follow-up)

    • Majority of sites have CVMFS available
