Topics • • JLab news Computing news Do. E Site Assistance Visit Computing Projects
JLab News • 12 Ge. V Accelerator Upgrade project with new Experimental Hall anticipates Do. E Critical Decision-2 approval Spring ’ 07 Significant funding becomes available Significant increase in computing requirements • New Information Technology Division Scientific Computing – merge Lattice QCD and Physics data processing efforts; DAQ remains in Physics Division Computing and Networking Infrastructure – most of former Physics Computer Center Management Information Systems–business computing Electronic Media – including web services, Library
Computing News • WAN connection upgraded to OC-192 – 10 gigabit to E-LITE – Connects to the NLR – National Lambda Rail • US Do. E Site Assurance Visit • RHEL 4 64 bit computing … wait for RHEL 5? • Glue-X Collaboration proposal includes OSG infrastructure for data analysis • New $1. 5 M Lattice QCD cluster anticipated Spring 07
Do. E Site Assistance Visit • • • Cyb. Sec personnel and resource numbers Patch Management, Vulnerability Scanning, Configuration Management Publicly available systems / visitor network • • Wireless inside JLab’s network (WPA, remove WEP) Network segmentation, Enclave structure • • • Personally owned devices – protect; control configuration Audit logs, parsing Session lock and login attempts Data center physical security Inventory control User culture
Computing Projects • • • Two factor authentication Network segmentation/Enclaving Infiniband switching fabric – Cisco IOS-like management? – Fabric for Storage? • Mass storage system upgrades – JASMine enhancement - common API for diverse clients, including experiment halls, batch farm, parallel cluster, Storage Resource Manager, user command line – Silo capacity and throughput increases • • 100+MB/sec DAQ systems; 10 s. PB data storage OSG installation – Has been on hold due to lack of resources – Revisit and reopen this project • • • LQCD cluster procurement and installation 10 Gig. E data path Scientific Computing integration – OSs, schedulers, etc.
Long Range Balance of fulfilling the computing requirements for the science program with meeting the cybersecurity requirements of a U. S. national lab.
