Accomplishments for week ending 2013/06/21
Scientific Computing Services worked with Fermi, Atlas, and BaBar to reallocate 10,000 shares from each group and provide a total of 30,000 shares to the Theory group on a temporary basis. A special queue has been set up to provide the parameters that would enable Theory to use the shares in a more intense manner than the regular queues would allow. This will help the Theory group prepare for the Snowmass meeting at the end of the month.

Scientific Computing Services continues to work on LCLS/PCDS storage problems following the May 30 power outage . A hardware RAID controller failed and may be responsible for corrupting one of the 1PB Lustre file systems. Repair work is underway and the file system is currently offline.

SCSPub space will be used as a repository of information from Scientific Computing Services which can be shared with others at SLAC. This information will include notes, agendas, working papers and proposals, etc, which the group wants to share with others at SLAC. In addition, for certain types of documents needing version or check-out/check-in control there is a document library on the SCS SharePoint site.
