The GridPP Deployment Board
The GridPP Technical Board has developed into a Production Grid Deployment Board (DB) with responsibilities for both middleware development/support and the integration of Tier-1 and Tier-2 resources into a production quality grid.
The DB mandate covers the deployment and operation of a production grid. This will include the development of the individual resources (Tier centres); the technical and organisational integration of the parts; and the roll-out of an operational grid service to, eventually, a level of stability and an ease of use consistent with a production facility.
The Chair of the Deployment Board is Dave Kelsey (d.p.kelsey@rl.ac.uk)
Deployment Board Meetings
Details of Deployment Board (and other deployment) meetings can be found
under the Regional
Operations Centre agenda page. The first meeting was held on 29 Oct 2004.
DB Terms of Reference
The Deployment Board is the body at which technical developments and problems wider than a single Working Group or Tier Centre are discussed and solved. The Deployment Board meets approximately quarterly to:
1. determine and oversee the execution of the technical project plan necessary to implement the strategy of the Project Management Board on the deployment of a production quality grid for Particle Physics;
2. report to the Project Management Board, through its chair, on progress towards this goal;
3. ensure that problems and ideas with implications beyond individual working groups are discussed and solved in the most efficient manner;
4. provide a forum in which all constituent parts of the project can exchange information on technical issues of mutual interest;
5. manage the deployment of GridPP2 hardware resources in the UK, ensuring they are efficiently and effectively used to deliver the Particle Physics Grid with the minimum of duplication;
6. deal with matters of coordination and liaison between UK Tier-1 and Tier-2 centres;
7. ensure that technical developments elsewhere, particularly at CERN, are efficiently integrated into the project.
The Deployment Board evolved from the Technical Board
The TB membership was:Peter Clarke (Chair), Alexander Holt, Dave Colling, Steve Fisher, Jens Jensen, Frank Harris, Richard Hughes-Jones, Dave Kelsey, Gavin McCance, Andrew McNab, Robin Middleton, and Andrew Sansum.
