One of the goals of the WLCG Operations Coordination activities is to help simplify what the majority of the WLCG sites, i.e. the smaller ones, need to accomplish to be able to contribute resources in a useful manner, i.e. with large benefits compared to efforts invested. This contribution describes different areas of activities which aim to allow sites to be run with minimal oversight and...

The T0 at CERN operates large storage and computing farms for the LHC community. For economic reasons the hardware of the disk servers is, with respect to CPU and memory, virtually identical to the one used in the batch nodes. Monitoring data showed that these nodes are not running anywhere close to their computational limit. Proof of concept tests have been conducted by Andrey Kiryanov...

CERN provides a significant part of the storage and cpu resources used for LHC analysis and is, similar to many other WLCG sites, preparing for a significant requirement increase in LHC run 3.
In this context, an analysis working group has been formed at CERN IT with the goal to enhance science throughput by increasing the efficiency of storage and cpu services via a systematic statistical...

Rapid increase of data volume from the experiments running at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) prompted physics computing community to evaluate new data handling and processing solutions. Russian grid sites and universities’ clusters scattered over a large area aim at the task of uniting their resources for future productive work, at the same time giving an opportunity to support large physics...

The WLCG infrastructure combines computing resources of more than 170 centers in 42 countries all over the world. Smooth operations of so huge and heterogeneous infrastructure is a complicated task which is performed by a distributed team. Constant growth of the amount of the computing resources and technology evolution which introduces new types of the resources like HPC and commercial clouds...

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid infrastructure links about 200 participating computing centers affiliated with several partner projects. It is built by integrating heterogeneous computer and storage resources in diverse data centers all over the world and provides CPU and storage capacity to the LHC experiments to perform data processing and physics analysis. In order to be used by the LHC...
