Verbesserung gegenüber heute: Primärstrahlintensität 100 – 1000 x
Sekundärstrahlintensitäten für radioaktive Kerne: bis 10 000x
Ionenenergie: 20 x
Neu: schnell gepulste supraleitende
Magnete
„gekühlte“ Antiprotonenstrahlen bis 15 GeV
Speziell: intensive „gekühlte“ Strahlen radioaktiver ‚exotischer‘ Kerne
effizienter Parallelbetrieb für mehrerer Experimente

IT
• Linux (Debian) ~ 350– (SUSE) ~ few
• Windows ~ 800• AIX (reducing) ~ 10
– plus bio physics ~ 20• VMS ~ 15
– plus Accelerator controls (~30)
• Notebooks– Windows (XP)– Linux (SUSE)
• Mass storage (3 libraries, TSM, TSM-API access)– 2 SAN based (Storage Tek with LTO-2 tapes drives)
What is new
• Firewall (Cisco PIXS)• Linux MTA (2-3) (migrate from AIX)
– Spam filtering (tagging) (Spamassassin)– Virus checking (Sophos, ClamAV)– Problems: Siesta (~20 min)– enforce GSI e-mail naming convention
• DNS Service migration to Linux (from AIX)– connection timeouts on AIX
What is new
• new Fileservers with Serial ATA disc raids– 3 U boxes with up to 15 discs– Data– Scratch– Problems with old IDE disc raids
• new batchsystems (1 U boxes, Dual Xeon, 3.2 GHz)
• Windows migrate to XP, Server 2000/2003• phase out WinNT (this year)
Systems
What is new
• Debian 3.0 r2• non interactive daily security updates with
„out of the box“ debian tools• monitoring system (mon)
– processes
– disc status
– log host (syslog-ng)
– perhaps box status
• GRID, LCG -> need systems and support
What is to be done
• Migration of services from AIX to Linux– radius– listserv– NIS (sign on, LDAP based)– …..
• Groupware (mailserver) discussion– Microsoft Exchange 2003– OCS (Oracle collaboration suite)
• separate discussion forum (FUD forum, open source)• Discussion: new Batch queueing system
– LSF production (money)– SGE– OpenPBS
• if money is available– replace old batchfarm boxes– new and much more storage systems (user, data, scratch) SAN/FC ?– ~ 10 TByte is too small– good Linux desktop support -> manpower ??
