Atlas:Analysis Challenge-STsummary

Target and metrics

• Nb of events : Few hundred up to 1000 jobs/site
• Rate (evt/s) : up to 15 Hz
• Efficiency (success/failure rate) : 80 %
• CPU utilization : CPUtime / Walltime > 50 %

Monitoring

• Job status : c (completed) | f (failed) | r (running) | s (submitted)
• Log files : o (stdout) | e (stderr) | j (job wrapper output) | w (wms log)
• Job execution evolution plot is in minutes
• CPU/Walltime and events/second plots are only measured with respect to the athena execution time. Athena setup, data preparation and data stageout are notincluded in this.
• Mean Athena Software Setup Time, Mean Prepare Inputs Time and Mean Output Storage Time are in seconds
  • Mean Athena software : time measured from the start of ganga worker node script until data preparation (Athena distribution kit setup, unpacking of the tarball with the pre-compiled code and setup of the pre-compiled code.
  • Mean Prepare Inputs Time covers LFC bulk access, one lcg-gt call for dCache/castor or multiple lcg-gt calls for DPM for turl retrieval
  • Mean Output Storage Time : call of lcg-cr

Test 82 (Dec 15-17)

• http://gangarobot.cern.ch/st/test_81/

300 jobs : IN2P3-CC, LPC, GRIF-LAL, GRIF-SACLAY, GRIF-LPNHE, IN2P3-LAPP, TOKYO-LCG2, RO-02, RO-07, IN2P3-CPPM

- LAPP 28 jobs sent there - no dataset available to stress the site 
- LPC half of the input files processed
  failed jobs with 
  error reading from file rfio:clrgpfssrv03-dpm.in2p3.fr//storage/..(Connection reset by peer) (Connection closed by remote end)
  37 % of jobs remained in running state - 
  job blocked reading file observed at LPC (JCC) and CPPM (EK) - 
  (stderr) send2nsd: NS009 - fatal configuration error: Host unknown:     
   dpnshome.in2p3.fr
   wrong turl pattern 'rfio:/dpm/in2p3.fr/home/atlas/atlasmcdisk/mc08/AOD/mc0' 
    probably due to lcg-cp timeout 

• Summary :

Test 61 & 62 (Dec 8-10)

• http://gangarobot.cern.ch/st/test_61/
• http://gangarobot.cern.ch/st/test_62/

300 jobs : IN2P3-LPC, GRIF-LPNHE, IN2P3-CPPM
600 jobs : TOKYO
Input DS Patterns: mc08.*Wmunu*.recon.AOD.e*_s*_r5*tid* mc08.*Zprime_mumu*.recon.AOD.e*_s*_r5*tid* mc08.*Zmumu*.recon.AOD.e*_s*_r5*tid* mc08.*T1_McAtNlo*.recon.AOD.e*_s*_r5*tid* mc08.*H*zz4l*.recon.AOD.e*_s*_r5*tid* mc08.*.recon.AOD.e*_s*_r5*tid*

• Summary:

 - TOKYO reached the target : 15 evt/s - CPU/Walltime > 60 %
   only 3 jobs failure due to Athena crashes out of 600 jobs run
   Corrupted input AOD files found
   test 61, job 170,  AOD.027097._37998.pool.root  
   test 62, job 202,  AOD.027579._24654.pool.root 
   test 62, job 212, AOD.027076._10514.pool.root
   max. MySQL connections increased from 100, default, up to 200
 - LPC: 218 jobs (92.4 %) completed but not all input files could be read
   Number of input files processed by "completed" jobs ~29000 out of 58326  
   (expected to be)
   Site events/s less than 5 Hz - CPU/Walltime < 50 %
   Job 1.54, DS mc08.105001.pythia_minbias.recon.AOD.e357_s462_r541_tid027069): Expected 1000, Processed 4
   input files are available on disk 
   rfio timeout seen in corresponding stderr
   rfio://clrgpfssrv03-dpm.in2p3.fr//storage/atlas1/atlas/2008-10-20/
   AOD.027069._03005.pool.root.1.2344130.0 can not be opened for reading
  (Timed out)
   Possible work-around to be considered as applied in UK cloud 
   rfio tuning - increase of rfio bufsize on WNs 
   See http://northgrid-tech.blogspot.com/2008/12/rfio-tuning-for-atlas-analysis-jobs.html
 - CPPM: 
   Only 69 jobs sent because input datasets were unvalaible there
   27 failed jobs (no stdout, no stderr, did not even reach the CE) with
   the error message 'request expired' from WMS because of 'BrokerHelper:
   no compatible resources' (WMS log added to the monitoring page).
   This is seen sometimes by SAM ops test
   About 14 jobs remained in running state - seen running by site - doing
   nothing after 1 hour then killed by the batch scheduler
   no output/no logs = no clear disgnosis 
   CPPM is using GRIF Topbdii. Impact of this ?
   Decision taken to try to redistribute DS to Marseille to get more jobs 
   but unsuccesfully 
 - GRIF-LPNHE 1/3 of jobs remained in running state - seen then
   killed by the batch scheduler - no outputs/no logs = no clear disgnosis
