FYI: LHCb --------- We have proved that the DataGrid can be succesfully integrated into the LHCb new distributed production environment (DIRAC). DataGrid is integrated as a separate computing centre. Jobs can be run without interference with the main (non Grid) production activity or as part of the main production system delivering useful data. So we will be using the DataGrid when we run our Data Challenge and produce a report at the end of the "stress-test". 10th Feb ; data challenge will begin cheers akram ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Akram Khan | e-mail:[log in to unmask] The University of Edinburgh | phone: + 44 (0)131 650 5307 School of Physics | fax: + 44 (0)131 650 7189 James Clerk Maxwell Building | home: http://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~akram/ Edinburgh EH9 3JZ, UK | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 5 Feb 2003, Gordon, JC (John) wrote: > Ian, you won't be the only site in this position.
