Upcoming ATLAS computing full dress rehearsal from Jim Shank...
I think we are facing challenge on WAN bandwidth and storage.

Subject: [Usatlas-l] US participation in the upcoming Full Dress Rehearsal
Dear colleagues --
Continuing the effort we have in the U.S in activities with respect to recent cosmic running, we would like to start organizing the U.S.
participation in the Full Dress Rehearsal (FDR). One of the critical components of the ATLAS FDR is to exercise the *distributed* computing and analysis machinery -- from replication of data to re-reconstruction to monitoring and analysis at remote sites. This will help us prepare for the upcoming LHC run, especially in our ability to access and analyze data at remote sites. We are also in contact with the Canadians and South American colleagues to see if they wish to join us in this exercise. Of course, we are also coordinating this effort with the overall FDR operations being run by Dave Charlton.
FDR details can be found at: the CERN wiki page:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/FullDressRehearsal. If necessary, we will setup additional Wiki page to document/discuss US participation in the FDR. We would like to start a series of meetings in January, probably weekly at first, but more frequently when the actual FDR is running.
Jim Cochran has agreed to organize these meetings.
The first general meeting to discuss the FDR will be held on Monday, January 7 at 3:00 PM EST. To join, please call 1-712-429-0700, participant code: 219061. Subsequent meetings will be announced later.
Please note that these are technical meetings - and hence will primarily benefit people interested in working on this activity and with some experience with ATLAS software and analysis. In the cosmic exercise, we had participation from the different sub-systems who helped in monitoring and analyzing the data. Similarly we would like to ensure that there is sufficient U.S. representation from the different performance and physics areas who can help with the analysis of the FDR data. If you are interested in contributing -- either with infrastructure software or with the analysis, please contact Jim Cochran. We encourage you to participate, it will ensure that you can analyze the real data when it comes.
This is the only message to this general list. If you are interested, please subscribe to the US ATLAS FDR hypernews at:
