  • Securing a HENP Computing Facility
    arXiv: Computational Physics, 2003
    Co-Authors: S. Misawa, O. Rind, T.g. Throwe
    Abstract:

    Traditionally, HENP Computing facilities have been open facilities that are accessed in many different ways by users that are both internal and external to the Facility. However, the need to protect the Facility from cybersecurity threats has made it difficult to maintain the openness of the Facility to off-site and on-site users. In this paper, we discuss the strategy we have used and the architecture we have developed and deployed to increase the security the US ATLAS and RHIC Computing Facilities, while trying to maintain the openness and accessibility that our user community has come to expect. Included in this discussion are the tools that we have used and the operational experience we have had with the deployed architecture.

  • SynapSense Wireless Environmental Monitoring System of the RHIC & ATLAS Computing Facility at BNL
    Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2014
    Co-Authors: K Casella, E Garcia, R Hogue, Christopher Hollowell, William Strecker-kellogg, A Wong, A Zaytsev
    Abstract:

    RHIC & ATLAS Computing Facility (RACF) at BNL is a 15000 sq. ft. Facility hosting the IT equipment of the BNL ATLAS WLCG Tier-1 site, offline farms for the STAR and PHENIX experiments operating at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the BNL Cloud installation, various Open Science Grid (OSG) resources, and many other small physics research oriented IT installations. The Facility originated in 1990 and grew steadily up to the present configuration with 4 physically isolated IT areas with the maximum rack capacity of about 1000 racks and the total peak power consumption of 1.5 MW. In June 2012 a project was initiated with the primary goal to replace several environmental monitoring systems deployed earlier within RACF with a single commercial hardware and software solution by SynapSense Corporation based on wireless sensor groups and proprietary SynapSense™ MapSense™ software that offers a unified solution for monitoring the temperature and humidity within the rack/CRAC units as well as pressure distribution underneath the raised floor across the entire Facility. The deployment was completed successfully in 2013. The new system also supports a set of additional features such as capacity planning based on measurements of total heat load, power consumption monitoring and control, CRAC unit power consumption optimization based on feedback from the temperature measurements and overall power usage efficiency estimations that are not currently implemented within RACF but may be deployed in the future.

  • The GRID and the Linux Farm at the RCF
    arXiv: Computational Physics, 2003
    Co-Authors: A. Chan, R Hogue, O. Rind, J Smith, T Throwe, C. Hollowell, T Wlodek
    Abstract:

    The emergence of the GRID architecture and related tools will have a large impact in the operation and design of present and future large clusters. We present here the ongoing efforts to equip the Linux Farm at the RHIC Computing Facility with Grid-like capabilities.
