Overview of Milestones and Metrics

Key High Level dates

  • LHC schedule delayed 6 weeks over Chamonix date. We now expect first beam in mid-November. Collisions now in December?
  • Freeze date was end of August. Propose delaying this until end of September. TBC with GRIDPP PMB.


Key Metrics

Owner Description Target Achieved
Gareth Smith Overall Tier-1 SAM Availability (last week) 97% 100%
Gareth Smith Alice SAM Availability (Jun) 97% 73%
Gareth Smith ATLAS SAM Availability (Jun) 97% 71%
Gareth Smith CMS SAM availability (Jun) 97% 71%
Gareth Smith LHCB SAM availability (Jun) 97% 67%
Andrew Sansum Fraction of Tier-1 Staff in Post (Jun) 93% 103%
Gareth Smith Number of days where called out (last spreadsheet full week) 3 2
Matt Hodges Percentage met of UB allocation of disk (Jun) 100% 78%
Matt Hodges Job Efficiency (Jun) 85% 87%
Matt Hodges Farm Occupancy (Jun) 85% 80%
Matt Viljoen Number of >Severe CASTOR Incidents (Jun) 6 2

Availability was poor in June owing to the move of the Tier-1 to R89.
