Dear all,
as I mentioned at the ops meeting last week WLCG Ops Coord is setting up
a task force to handle multicore jobs deployment.
The Task Force was requested at the last planning meeting by Atlas and
CMS but LHCb also expressed interest and will be discussed at the next
meeting.
There are now a twiki which currently contains only the mandate to approve
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/DeployMultiCore
and a mailing list
https://e-groups.cern.ch/e-groups/Egroup.do?egroupId=10111467
while I still have to keep this "exploratory" until the TF is formally
approved next week, Atlas has requested this morning multicore resources
to process 10M events and this is a good kickstart motivation.
cheers
alessandra
