Atlas:Analysis Challenge-STsummary
Sommaire
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
- CPU/Walltime and events/second plots are only measured with respect to the athena execution time. Athena setup, data preparation and data stageout are not included 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
To be tracked, open questions
- GRIF : dealing with a multi-site : Is it possible to stress GRIF site by site ?
- Distribution of datasets over sites for stress test purposes (Is it possible to improve ?)
- lcg-gt timeout (jobs in running state observed at LPC & CPPM) (not in Tokyo ??? so what ?)
- Corrupted AOD files
- rfio tuning (read-ahead buffer size) needed or not at some sites
- many problems identified but no real stress so no clear bottlenecks identified at sites for now...2009 plans ?
- comparaison and understanding of job timing (Athena software time discrepancy)
Test 82 (Dec 15-17)
300 jobs scheduled - 10 sites involved : IN2P3-CC, LPC, GRIF-LAL, GRIF-SACLAY, GRIF-LPNHE, IN2P3-LAPP, TOKYO-LCG2, RO-02, RO-07, IN2P3-CPPM
- Summary :
28 jobs sent to IN2P3-LAPP
42 jobs sent to RO-07-NIPNE
45 jobs sent to RO-02-NIPNE
74 jobs sent to IN2P3-CPPM
237 jobs addressing GRIF-SACLAY but run at LAL
238 jobs sent to IN2P3-LPC
247 jobs sent to GRIF-LPNHE
300 jobs addressing GRIF-LAL - some run at IPNO
300 jobs sent to IN2P3-CC
300 jobs sent to TOKYO-LCG2
- LAPP 28 jobs sent there - no dataset available to stress the site - LPC half of the input files processed Seen in job 178 (competed) stderr file rfio://clrgpfssrv03-dpm.in2p3.fr//storage/atlas1/atlas/2008-10-20/ AOD.026982._00003.pool.root.1.2356089.0 can not be opened for reading (Timed out) failed jobs with error reading file from clrgpfssrv03-dpm.in2p3.fr 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..' probably due to lcg-gt timeout - CPPM jobs remained in running state with wrong turl pattern probably due to lcg-gt timeout job.50 failure due to the corrupted AOD AOD.027076._10514.pool.root File: rfio:marjoe.in2p3.fr/../AOD.027076._10514.pool.root.1.3258341.0 badread=0 - GRIF-LPNHEProblem (user mapping misconfiguration) identified GRIF UNSCHEDULED/DOWNTIME - GRIF-SACLAY 6 batch queues in GANGA jdl 3 CES polgrid, grid10.lal, node07.cea all jobs supposed to be run at SACLAY were in fact executed at LAL with inputs taken from SACLAY SE and outputs written on LAL SE. Good test of 5 Gb/s link between SACLAY and LAL but we miss the ST of GRIF-SACLAY - GRIF-LAL : 8 batch queues in GANGA jdl 4 CES : polgrid, grid10.lal, node07.cea, ipnls. Difference with SACLAY ? some jobs ran at IPNO Not all files being processed Job 8.19 DS mc08... Expected 999, Processed 334 Seen in stderr Job 19 (completed) file rfio://grid19.lal.in2p3.fr//... can not be opened for reading (Bad credentials) - CCIN2P3 3 CES (2 from T2 and 1 from T1) in GANGA jdl jobs ran on cclclgceli05, cclclgceli06, cclclgceli01 why ? Overall jobs over time shows 140 jobs have started almost immediately the remaining ones have been queued for 16 hours CC Toplevelbdii problem on Dec 15th by the end of the day + one CE failure at T2 Effect on ST ? job 36 . failure due to corrupted AOD File: AOD.027076._10514.pool.root + AThena core dump
- CPU/Walltime most of the sites at ~30% except LAPP&Tokyo (~60%) and SACLAY because jobs ran at LAL and input at Sacay LPC : 2 bumps? - rfio Pbs at LPC and some other sites (number of treated files <> number of expected files) no problem at CPPM this time - ATHENA setup time longer time at LAL - Storage timetime of lcg-cr command, large differences between sites, to be understood
Test 61 & 62 (Dec 8-10)

- 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
