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
