Site Stress Test

Procedure

  • Replication of target datasets accross the cloud
  • Preparation of job
  • Generation n jobs per site (Each job processes 1 dataset)
  • Bulk submission to WMS (1 per site)

Test conditions

  • The testing framework is ganga-based. It is currently using LCG backend but it will soon be possible to use PANDA backend as well. Metrics are collected and displayed at http://gangarobot.cern.ch/st/
  • Both POSIX I/O and "copy mode" may be used allowing performances comparaison of the 2 modes.
  • It uses regular AOD analysis in 14.2.20 with mc08*AOD*e*s*r5 DQ2 inputs
  • Input datasets are read from ATLASMCDISK and outputs are stored on ATLASUSERDISK (no special requirements there). Input data access is the main issue. No problem on data output
  • Required CPUtime : GlueCEPolicyMaxCPUTime >= 1440 (1 day , typical duration : 5 hours)
  • Jobs run under DN : /O=GermanGrid/OU=LMU/CN=Johannes_Elmsheuser
  • LAN saturation observed in case of 1 Gb network connection between WN and SE.
  • It is possible for sites to limit the number of jobs sent at a time.

Target and metrics

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