Editor's Notes
Dark energy + dark matter
Quark gluon plasma, moments after the big bang
Location, lake, alps mont blanc, swiss-french border
Complex of accelerators, higher and higher energy.
27km circumference
Two beams of protons travelling on different directions, close to speed of light
Almost 10.000 magnets
Kept in the ring thanks to these superconducting magnets
Temperature kept at 1.9K (-271 celsius) to keep superconducting properties
Sibling of ATLAS, with similar goals but different design
14.000 tons
20 meters long, 15x15
Anti-matter Decelarator, creates anti-atoms to better understand its properties
AMS experiment, launched on mission STS-134 (penultime shuttle mission), measures antimatter in cosmic rays
2 floors
Historical building, 50 years old, from mainframes to racks
Internet backbone, biggest in late 80s and early 90s
Hierachical system, few big T1s and many smaller T2s
Not a physicist, but learned to look for patterns in plots
Based on htcondor, which HEP has decades of experience operating
Component description, requests and resources published as classads
Advanced functionality (fair share, pre-emption)
Currently running mostly on virtualized resources
Important: htcondor relies on an established storage and net infrastructure, handling compute only (which is what we try to federate)
StartD is our first containerization goal, deployed at scale
Host cluster, with the condor control plane
One command only to establish federation
StartD deployment as a daemonset, meaning we get one instance on every host
Clusters are added again with one single command
CVMFS caching for software distribution speed-up
Data access and networking outside the scope of this exercise
