DIRAC@IN2P3 project meeting September 19th
------------------------------------------
people : Andrei, Sorina, Vanessa, Fabio, Luisa, Johan
Dirac project update
+ keeping patches releases every 1 or 2 weeks
+ pre-release v7r0, certification on--going
- DiracOs, mean to package external dependencies (Chris, uses docker)
- HTPPS tech preview (CERN student, works and no lost of efficiency!)
improved security, up to date with current SSL/TLS implementation
transparent for the client
touches all communications within Dirac, so needs thorough certification
will eventually have one entry point on one port, instead of a different port for each service
will require to revamp services login
makes also migration to python3 easier
- Tornado
- WebApp v4r0 (ExtJs6)
- Production System
+ Development
- VMDIRAC: OpenStack, OpenNebula direct submission, no apache libcloud
- SSO checkin in WebPortal (for DIRAC4EGI), login application at startup
+ Collaborations
- JNR Dubna: cloud federation, connection to HPC
- University of St Petersbourg: cloud meta scheduler
+ Budget
- 1.5 kEuros remaining
- Automn face-to-face meeting at CC-IN2P3
+ May be propose a Video conference to Volker as the one of last year
+ Consortium News
- Vanessa represents CNRS at the board
- Application for Imperial College
- Joining procedure pending for Montpellier, PNNL, KEK
- U. Barcelona likely to restart Dirac through involvment in Virgo
DIRAC@GPU (Sorina)
+ connect to GPU sources, use a TAG so that the GPU only runs GPU jobs
- queue tag inherits the CE tag, combinations are compatible
- idea is CE with GPU tag, then different queues with specific tags (e.g. CREATIS)
+ use Docker, start from a docker file provided by NVIDIA, python application
- not sure how NVIDIA driver versions are handled within the container
Production System (Luisa)
+ good work done after the DUW, many reactions to the PR
+ PS now ready for the v7r0 pre-release
+ installed integration tests on the CERN jenkins InT platform
+ first version with basic functionnalities
+ further development needed but good to have it in a release
+ clearly need work on MQ matching
Conferences/Publications
+ Andrei mentions the need for a DIRAC generic poster, existing one is 10 years old.
Next meeting October 16th @ 10AM
Doodle for face-to-face in November
