[Halld-offline] GLueX Opportunistic Access

[Richard Jones]

Chander and all,

Yes, it has been above expectations actually.  There have been moments where we have seen 7000 cores in action at once.  Our occupation fraction at various sites, fnal in particular, has dropped off exponentially over the weekend, as our completed hours have accumulated, consistent with normal behavior for opportunistic users.  We (Gluex VO) are having a meeting this afternoon to review the progress and decide what to do next.  We have learned a lot already, and it might make sense to pause soon and study problems that have been exposed already in the high-statistics sample, that were not seen before when we studied the Monte Carlo at low statistics.

Thanks to all for the help getting firewall issues straightened out at fermilab, and in general for accepting our jobs.  From my perspective, part of our success with OSG comes from the high quality of the operations, and part from the willingness on the part of major resource holders to share resources to help everyone get the science done.

-Richard J.
