Status Report FY2001Q1

• 1st quarterly report sent out Feb 20 to
• US LHC Project Office, PMG and US CMS
• Report on Technical Status/Progress
• UF detailed effort reports along WBS (see
  V.ODell)
• CAS will use CAS engineers regular reporting
  (see I.Fisk)
• Report on Performance and Financial Status
• Cannot measure schedule performance in earned
  value
• Experience on labor costs cannot readily be
  extrapolated
• CCS Tasks and Deliverables Document coming up gt
  see I.Fisks talk
• Will allow us to better define milestones and
  deliverables for US CAS WBS

Funding Status Feb (and March) 2001

• Funding StatusFunding Sources Expected
  and Received

6
Re-Organization of CMS Computing

• CMS Core Computing and Software now part of CPT
  project
• Addresses cross-project nature of key
  deliverables
• Recognizes cross-project groups and task forces

7
CCS Management Structure

• Core Computing and Software Management Structure
• Responsible for MOU deliverables Tier 0/1/2
  centers, core software
• PMs, RM, TC six Level2 tasks w/ managers
  assigned for 1 year
• Presented to SCB/CIB, MB, CB gt approved CIB
  will need constitution e.g.
  representation of RCs

Task Breakdownto Level3

Hoffmann Review Report Released

• Report of the Steering Group of the LHC
  Computing Review
• Multi-Tiered computing model adopted
• Total costs T0-T2 h/w 240 MCHF, CERN T0T1 is 1/3
• network at T1 is 1.5-3Gbps/exp
• Data Challenges and h/w prototypes
• to be launched in 2001, reach 50 complexity in
  2004
• Deployment of initial system 2005-7 in equal cost
  proportions
• MO rolling replacement w/ constant budget of
  yearly 1/3 of initial investment
• Personnel of experiments and CERN IT
• Core Software teams seriously understaffed,
• staff reduction at CERN IT incompatible with
  mission
• SC2 committee
• highest level s/c management from experiments,
  CERN/IT and RC
• Technical Assessment Groups
• MOUs
• funding/responsibilities for h/w, s/w, human
  resources, policies for access
• Interim MOUs or software agreements by end of
  2001 to ensure s/w development

Interim MOU for CMS CCS

• CMS is preparing for interim MOUs on Computing
  and Core Software
• Full MOU would be premature
• CMS and (most) funding agencies not ready
• Milestone Software and Physics TDRs
• Interim MOU
• Get Hoffmann Panel recommendations approved by
  the RRB
• Address manpower problems for CAS
• Expose computing plans and get agencies to
  formally take note
• agreement in principle
• Fund the prototyping phase
• Caveat Numbers will change
• Effort to get ready for April RRB
• Task breakdown for CMS CCS gt tasks,
  deliverables, FTEs
• Computing numbers from Hoffmann Panel
• Sizing for T0, T1, T2, for prototypes and for
  production system
• Costs and budget for prototyping phase (CERN 12M
  CHF)

10
MOUs and SOWs w/ U.S. Institutions

• The Project is committed to follow management
  and budget procedures as established in U.S.
  CMS for the construction project
• Project file with all effort put in, identified
  by WBS number
• MOUs and SOWs with participating institutes
• Institutes account and invoice all expenditure by
  WBS number to PO
• Project Manager signs off invoices, then the
  money flows
• Work needed to bring the WBS to a state to
  support the procedures
• Working with Caltech and UC San Diego (prototype
  Tier2 sites)on SOWs and MOUs to the effort and
  procedures

11
Progress on Prototype Tier2

• Started Process of defining MOUs and SOWs with
  Caltech and UCSD
• Meeting at Caltech Feb 23 to work on SOW, agreed
  on procedure
• Working now on fleshing out the WBS
• Define effort, tasks, milestones and deliverables
  for the SOW
• Agree on MOU and SOW, listing
• personnel (on and off-project),
• responsibilities, deliverables (referring to
  WBS), reporting, procurement authorization
• contributed effort, services and equipment,
• costs and funding,
• schedule and milestones
• SOW gives budget authorization, institute will
  invoice Project, funds will then be sent to
  institute
• Level3 Manager (Julian Bunn) reports to Level2 UF
  Manager
• (Ceterum Censeo We did NOT YET receive the
  funding for the pTier2 effort!)

  2005)will need some thinking
• 3.5 FTE from UF til 2003
• 1 FTE from CAS til 2003
• 1 FTE in PO
• Put in reality for 2001
• Need to work on FY2002
• De-scoping in UF

VERY PRELIMINARY DRAFT
