Intro to FermiGrid site for STAR users

Under:

The FNAL_FERMIGRID site policy and some documentation can be found here:

http://fermigrid.fnal.gov/policy.html

You must use VOMS proxies (rather than grid certificate proxies) to run at this site.  A brief intro to voms proxies is here:  Introduction to voms proxies for grid cert users

All users with STAR VOMS proxies are mapped to a single user account ("star").

Introduction to voms proxies for grid cert users

Under:
The information in a voms proxy is a superset of the information in a grid certificate proxy. This additional information includes details about the VO of the user. For users, the potential benefit is the possibility to work as a member of multiple VOs with a single DN and have your jobs accounted accordingly. Obtaining a voms-proxy (if all is well configured) is as simple as “voms-proxy-init -voms star” (This is of course for a member of the STAR VO).

Here is an example to illustrate the difference between grid proxies and voms proxies (note that the WARNING and Error lines at the top don’t seem to preclude the use of the voms proxy – the fact is that I don’t know why those appear or what practical implications there are from the underlying cause – I hope to update this info as I learn more):

Preview of the 2006/12 review findings

Under:

The panel recommends simulation
and optimization of the following possible configuration, one of which should
be chosen; either

  • Two layers of active pixel sensors followed
    radially outward by a layer of ALICE
    style pixels (the HPD) located at a slightly larger radius than its present
    location, followed by the existing STAR SSD.
  • Two layers of active pixel sensors followed
    radially outward by the IST1 and IST2 layers both at somewhat smaller radii
    than presently proposed, followed by the existing STAR SSD.

In the event the existing SSD can
not be counted on as part of the future mid-rapidity tracking system, the panel
recommends the following configuration be optimized:
