      drawings
      As a result of this discussion I believe I can now state the problem that we are trying to solve: Every VO that starts submitting jobs on the OSG must eventually drill down on a site by site basis to understand the specific failure modes for their jobs on each site. Each VO then derives a knowledge base that they use to optimize their job submission success. Every successful VO has done this at least once on a variety of sites. What we (as OSG) would like to do is find a way to solve this problem once, or as few times as possible given the different workflow requirements, so that each VO can directly benefit from the existing knowledge and not need to keep replicating this effort. Thank you all for your thoughts and contributions...! Dan

        Glidein Workload Management System (glideinWMS) Wilson Hall Atrium

        Wilson Hall Atrium

        The Glidein Workload Management System (glideinWMS) utilizes a centralized pilot based submission system called a pilot or Glidein Factory (GF). The glideinWMS system is developed on top of the Condor system. Condor forms the back-bone of the system, with just a thin layer on top of it. From the final user point of view, glideinWMS is just a distributed Condor system. Users with existing Condor-ready jobs can almost transparently submit them to the Grid via glideinWMS. In addition to the simplicity to use, glideinWMS can handle user priorities uniformly across the Grid. The pilot can validate the node before pulling a user job; as a consequence correctly configured users jobs are less likely to fail. Pilot jobs also provide additional services, like pseudo-interactive monitoring that enable the users to debug their job during its execution phase.

        Based at Indiana University, the OSG-GOC (http://osggoc.blogspot.com/) provides a single point of operational support for the Open Science Grid (OSG). The GOC performs real time Grid monitoring and problem tracking, provides support to users, developers and systems administrators, maintains grid services, provides security incident response, and maintains information repositories.The GOC develops, hosts, and maintains several services for the OSG including MyOSG, GOCTicket, OIM, Twiki, etc. A list of GOC Services is presented and/or linked off of MyOSG. We will offer demonstrations on: - How an OSG member can MyOSG wearing various hats, for example: VO user, site administrator, management personnel - How to effectively use GOCTicket system, the primary ticketing system for the OSG; additionally we will demo a typical ticket exchange between a VO's support ticketing system, the GOC, and a destination ticketing system. - How to maintain accurate topology data about OSG resources, sites, VOs, support centers on OIM. We will be open to discussing or demonstrating other GOC services to the extent logistics permit, if an audience member is interested.

        The Metric Correlation and Analysis Service (MCAS) Wilson Hall Atrium

        Wilson Hall Atrium

        The Metric Correlation and Analysis Service (MCAS) project was started at the end of 2008 by the Fermilab Computing Division in response to three main considerations from its stakeholders: 1) Grid monitoring and troubleshooting is considered generally lacking in Grid systems 2) When communities need to add monitoring for a component of an infrastructure, the effort is typically started from scratch, developing an end-to-end solution from basic tools (shell, python, RRDtools, R, ...). This entails duplication of effort developing over and over again infrastructure to address common problems (data gathering, warehousing, analysis, and presentation). 3) Summarization of metrics on at-a-glance view would improve status checks of monitored services. This is achieved through dense presentation views and through efficiently reducing large datasets to snapshots of the most relevant information. MCAS was set up to address these issues by providing a common infrastructure and tailored to common use cases plug-ins for the gathering, organization, storage, analysis, and display of data. The system supports a series of understood use cases, including single page view of images from multiple sources, display of data in table format, bar graph representation of alarming-related metrics, and time series plots. It also supports administrator-friendly interfaces to manage data sources, operational tools for database backup / reduction / restoration, and easy infrastructure (re-)deployment. The MCAS project offers its services from http://mcas- nt.fnal.gov:8080/portal/portal/ : dashboards for various communities can be seen from this url. These communities include CMS T1 (.../cms), DZero (.../dzero-mc, .../dzero-reco), ad Minos (.../minos) . In this demo, we will show how the MCAS system can be used by OSG communities to streamline their needs in metrics gathering, analysis, and display.

      Wilson Hall, Racetrack - 7th Floor Crossover

      An opportunity for the exchange of ideas as well as suggestions for future directions for OSG with respect to the collective VO's.

      Please see below for the topics of discussion:
      - How does your VO provide dynamic and ad hoc requirements to OSG, and is this process effective?
      - How should OSG get engaged for sustaining your VO?
      - Is your VO's interest well represented in OSG? If not, any suggestions for improvement?
      - Best practices for attracting and retaining users. E.g., how to engage users of local HPC for using the grid.
      - Resource discovery tools
      - Tools/techniques to better allow troubleshooting and resolution of the many components of the OSG software stack
      - How can we improve installation and end user documentation?
      - Accounting tools
      - What does "supporting a particular VO" mean for a site?
      - How can a VO ensure that a particular site supports the needs of its users?
      - What is the required list of software? (There are several "optional" components that are actually required to run, so
      why are they optional)
      - Potential funding opportunities
