## LAFS – LHC@FNAL SoftwareStatus

- LARP Meeting
- Jean Slaughter
- March 14, 2007

## Summary of the Last LAFS Talk 

- Jan 31, 2007 by Dave McGinnis
- Document 470
- Highlights
- 11/15/2006 visit by Pierre Charrue and Eugenia Hatziangeli
- 12/12/2996 course on LSA ( LHC Software applications) by Greg Kruk
- Status of RBA (Role Based Access), Sequencer, SDA projects

## Recent Developments

- Dave McGinnis met with Herman Schmickler and Mike Lamont to review LAFS projects
- Conclusions
- LAFS is on the right track
- RBA and sequencer continue as they are.  They will probably finish by the end of the year
- For now, emphasize instrumentation projects – tune displays, (wire scanners, sync light,...) and slow down on SDA until the requirements for SDA are clearer.

## Status - Role Based Access Control RBAC

- Team:
- S.Gysin, A.Petrov, C.Schumann (FNAL)
- K.Kistro, W.Gajewski, G.Kruk, M.Peryt (CERN AB/CO)
- Vertical slice test a success – January 19
- Review February 16
- Chair: H.Schmickler,
- Reviewers: S.Deghaye (CERN), J.Gras (CERN), K. Hoeppner (GSI), M.Lamont (CERN), Derek Mathieson (CERN ), D.McGinnis (FNAL),  J.Patrick (FNAL)
- Very successful: CERN has accepted the proposed implementation, going forward with the implementation and deployment. Second release Feb. 23rd
- RBAC NICE authentication is in demand, a production quality authentication server will be deployed this spring.
- Core RBAC production functionality in June 2007
- Phased deployment depending on the Equipment Groups schedule and commissioning

## Status - Sequencer

- Jim Patrick, Jerry Annala, Dean Still, Brian Hendricks
- LAFS role is help on establishing requirements and general advice – not code
- Visit by Jim Patrick last month
- Dean, Jerry and Brian Hendricks went to CERN yesterday
- Reyes is coming here in April
- CERN wants multiple visits over the next several months

## Status - Instrumentation

- Tune displays for BBQs – Jim Patrick and Dennis Nicklaus with advice from Jerry and Dean
- _[http://cd-amr.fnal.gov/remop/TuneFeedback.htm](http://cd-amr.fnal.gov/remop/TuneFeedback.htm)_
- Dennis and Elliott will gather requirements on  trips to CERN in the next several weeks. Possible projects:
- Wire scanners
- Sync light

## SDA - Sequenced Data Acquisition

- Elliott, Tim, Jerry Cai, Dennis N.
- SDA-II for Tevatron ready for testing
- CERN isn’t ready to think enough about SDA for a requirements document. Vertical slice test seen as premature
- Mutual decision with CERN to slow down on SDA requirements document and work on instrumentation projects
- Great experience for SDA work
- Continue with exploratory work to understand how to access data at CERN

## Miscellaneous Stuff

- Weekly meetings 9:00 Tuesdays in WH1East
