ILDG Services/Data • UKQCD continues to provide full range of ILDG services: – Metadata Catalogue, File Catalogue, Storage Elements, .... • Data available via ILDG clients: – Ensembles 1, 2, and 3 are published. UKQCD Grid Status Update for ILDG15 – 4/DEC/2009. 2

Infrastructure • Six GridFTP sites in operation: – Servers are aging, have been some reliability problems (Liverpool, Edinburgh). – expect to introduce SRM storage at RAL in 2010Q3. • All sites running DiGS 2.0: – Expect to upgrade to Version 3.0 in 2010Q1. • ILDG services run on dedicated host: http://edqcdgrid.epcc.ed.ac.uk:8080 ―Services.xml‖ file details end -points. UKQCD Grid Status Update for ILDG15 – 4/DEC/09. 3

Future plans • UKQCD has funding for new HPC systems, from STFC 1 : – Plan to replace existing storage (at six sites) in early 2010. – Also, plans for replacement of QCDOC progressing. • UKQCD hopes to continue to benefit from GridPP resources: – Likely to be new SRM-based storage, available from 2010Q3. • DiGS team has secured funding to add SRM support to UKQCD Grid: – Some effort also available for ILDG Middleware-related activities. – Project runs Dec ‗09—Nov‘10. 1 STFC = Science and Technology Facilities Council (UK).
