Summary:
Penn State contributions to the maintenance and operations of IceCube include:
Faculty:
Doug Cowen (L,+) - ExecComm member, PINGU lead, outreach, 100% IceCube
Peter Mészáros - theory, 10% IceCube
Tyce DeYoung – Low-En WG Co-Chair, outreach, 25% IceCube
Scientists and Post Docs:
Jason Koskinen – GENIE MC software maintenance, Low-En production L2/L3 scripts, 100% IceCube
Reconstruction modules: DeepCoreVeto
Ken Clark – (arrived on March 5, 2012) Responsibility for simprod, distributed computing, and monitoring, 100% IceCube
Gordana Tesic – (arriving Oct. 2012) Integrating IceCube into AMON, 50% IceCube (on internal PSU funds, not PSU base grant)
Students:
Matt Dunkman – Starting track reconstruction development, 100% IceCube
Reconstruction modules: HybridReco
Computing Resources:
The Penn State IceCube group has access to several large computing clusters maintained and administered by the Penn State High Performance Computing group, comprising a total of approximately 8,000 computing cores, including several GPUs . Since September 2012, the Penn State group has had priority access to 260 cores. Our historical average utilization has been around 120% of the cores to which we have priority access, with peak usage levels around 600%.
With these clusters Penn State has contributed substantially to simulation production, including the entire collaboration-wide simulation of low energy neutrinos with GENIE, all PINGU simulations, and around 10% of all simprod jobs run collaboration-wide. Substantial amounts of reconstruction development work have also been conducted using these resources.
Note: The activities and staffing levels in this MoU are appropriate for the period beginning October 1, 2012.
