Our goal is to develop an infrastructure which allows us to test the performance of wide area network connections among scientific computing sites on a large scale. We aim to do this through the dynamic deployment of lightweight [perfSONAR](https://www.perfsonar.net/) Testpoint containers across multiple machines which generate network traffic to a given site. This approach allows us to send enough traffic to saturate the network pipe, enabling tests of the network performance in realistic high-volume scenarios. Monitoring the resulting throughput and comparing it to expected values enables us to diagnose unforeseen bottlenecks that might be limiting the performance of scientific network connections once data-volumes increase past their current amounts. By finding and fixing those bottlenecks now, we can prepare and optimize our high-speed scientific network for the future. -#### Recent Accomplishments +### Recent Accomplishments * Since starting the project, I've gained a vast amount of valuable knowledge and hands-on experience in containerization, networking, and server management. It really amazes me when I look back on how much I've learned in a relatively short time just by working on this project! * Developed a system for conducting automated [iPerf3](https://iperf.fr/) network performance tests between [Podman](https://podman.io/) containers hosted on two separate servers using systemd timers. * Utilized perfSONAR to conduct coordinated throughput measurements between multiple testbed servers. Currently working to expand this and implement a centralized monitoring tool to keep track of all ongoing measurements. @@ -32,3 +32,5 @@ I work with Fermilab scientists Dr. Syed Asif Raza Shah and Dr. Oliver Gutsche o * Kevin Black (University of Wisconsin-Madison) * Syed Asif Raza Shah (Fermilab) * Oliver Gutsche (Fermilab) + +### Traineeship dates diff --git a/_trainees/ajtoler.md b/_trainees/ajtoler.md index ad8814f..4971ff9 100644 --- a/_trainees/ajtoler.md +++ b/_trainees/ajtoler.md @@ -14,10 +14,16 @@ networks: presentations: --- -### Biography +### Biography and Interests I am a second year graduate student currently working in the UMass Amherst ATLAS group, advised by Carlo Dallapiccola. -### Project interests +### Project + +### Recent Accomplishments ### Mentors + +### Traineeship dates + + diff --git a/_trainees/ashq7.md b/_trainees/ashq7.md index 8f1e670..eafec0a 100644 --- a/_trainees/ashq7.md +++ b/_trainees/ashq7.md @@ -14,11 +14,16 @@ networks: presentations: --- -### Biography +### Biography and Interests I am a second-year PhD student in the CMS group at Princeton University working with Professor Isobel Ojalvo.

Previously I was working with IRIS-HEP on a Primary Verted Finder Algorithm known as PV-Finder. PV-Finder is a hybrid deep learning algorithm which identifies primary vertices. This algorithm was developed for use in conjunction with the LHCb detector in Run 3 of the LHC, which will experience a luminosity that is 5.5 times that of Run 2. In LHCb data, the efficiency of the CNN has inreased from to 90% to past 98% over the course of the past few years. The success of PV-Finder motivates its extension to both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. This project is concerned with the adaptation of the PV-Finder algorithm to ATLAS and CMS. Now as a student at Princeton enrolled in the TAC-HEP program I have taken Introduction to programming systems. This class includes modular programming, advanced program design, programming style, test, debugging and performance tuning; machine languages and assembly language; and use of system call services. -### Project interests I am interested in how the field of high energy physics motivates advances in computing.
