What resources do we have in Switzerland in terms of CPU and storage?
(my take on ) what tasks to ideally do on
the Grid
T2_CH_CSCS
T3_PSI_CH
CMS data management and how it relates to end users
How to register your output files in the central DBs (local publishing)
CMS name space
(How to discover the exact filename of a dataset file at another site)
How to transfer data between centers, expected transfer times, possible optimizations
Problem: Copying of user generated data between sites (cannot yet be done with phedex - file sizes! CMS may provide merge jobs at some point)
Short discussion on how we should organize the management of our space (getting rid of old sets in a convenient way, without undue wasting of everybody's time)
Short guidelines on how to access data
Developing the T3 (next upgrades)
discussion on what use cases users would like to have the systems optimized for, e.g.
interactive vs. batch use
should we introduce one more queue with short turnaround times?
requirements for graphical interactive work? NX-service?
Can we improve the communications and information exchange between users and admins? We want to have a lean and efficient system with as few points of entry as possible, and the minimum of policies.
Communication tools
CERN wiki
CSCS T3 and T2 wiki
email lists
chat?
where to report problems, trouble tickets.
Very short explanation on how the CMS sites are organized centrally, how the information flows between sites (FacOps project)
