Dear (former) MACRO Collaborators,
Below is a job advertizement for my new group at BNL. We are
looking for someone to help define and create the Tier 1 ATLAS
computing facility at Brookhaven while working with the staff of
the existing RHIC Computing Facility (RCF) to maintain and expand
the capabilities of the RCF. Extensive computing experience, especially
with system administration, will be very important for this position.
Please forward this note to anyone you know who may be interested
in this position.
Thank you,
Rich Baker
Deputy Director for US ATLAS Computing Facilities
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Computer System Architect – Distributed Scientific Computing
The US ATLAS/RHIC Computing Facility group at Brookhaven National
Laboratory has an immediate opening for a system architect. Our group
is responsible both for providing computing resources for the
experiments running at Brookhaven’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC) and also for designing and deploying the US Tier-1 computing
facility for the ATLAS experiment which will begin operation at the
Large Hadron Collider at CERN in 2005. The facility will manage
multiple petabytes of data and provide farms of Intel/Linux computers
for very high capacity scientific computing in a distributed Grid
computing environment.
Responsibilities:
- Analyze the evolving computing requirements of the RHIC experiments
and design solutions to satisfy these requirements.
- Develop tools to monitor the performance of the RHIC Computing
Facility.
- Analyze computing resource utilization and design solutions to
maximize performance and data throughput.
- Participate in the design, development and deployment of the US ATLAS
Tier-1 Computing Facility, which will provide high performance data
access and computing to a geographically distributed collaboration of
physicists.
Required:
- Advanced degree in computer science, physics or closely related field
and at least five years’ experience in support of large scale scientific
computing.
- Knowledge of and experience with UNIX system support and
administration, including networked file systems and other distributed
computing tools and utilities.
- Experience with modern programming techniques and languages, including
C++ and/or Java.
Desired:
- Knowledge of and experience with Object Oriented Databases, Object
Brokers, Hierarchical Storage Managers (particularly HPSS), and robotic
tape systems.
Please contact Rich Baker (rbaker@bnl.gov) or Bruce Gibbard
(gibbard@bnl.gov) for more information.
