A general purpose suite for Grid resources exploitation
No full textWe present a general-purpose software framework, which allows different multi-disciplinary communities to take advantage of a distributed computational infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to provide organizations that need to exploit resources with CPU-intensive loose-parallel tasks with a software service capable to offer a user-friendly, standard and highly customizable access to the Grid. The software suite we developed has been designed specifically for organizations that cannot afford the adoption costs of more specialized and complex frameworks, developed in High Energy Physics (HEP) environment, but that still require an easy-to-use interface to the Grid. Our framework heavily relies on a bookkeeping database, storing both application-specific and infrastructure meta-data, which is tightly coupled with a web-based user-interface. The first makes available to the users information on the execution status of jobs and their specific meaning and parameters, and contributes in orchestrating the submission mechanism. The latter provides job submission management, bookkeeping database interactions, basic monitoring functionality and eLog system. Multi-site submissions based on user-defined requests and fine grain parametric submission interfaces are available. The structure of framework services follow a centralized design: job management service and bookkeeping database are hosted in a European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) site. Jobs executed into remote sites transfer their output to predefined target site repository and update the bookkeeping database. In addition, the framework requires a proper configuration of the remote Grid sites on which the jobs will run. Results from a large production of Monte Carlo simulated events submitted to 15 Grid sites are reported, and a comparison in terms of features, scopes, and targets, with a broad spectrum of general-purpose solutions in the same field of application is presented as well

Leggere il tempo. Conversazione sull’architettura sensibile di Armando Ruinelli
No full textArmando Ruinelli’s forty-year architectural experience, as documented in the recent publication Leggere il tempo, is characterised by its sensitivity and attention to context. Devoid of excess and extravagance, his work establishes a polite dialogue with its surroundings, reflecting the discreet personality of the author. At the core of Ruinelli’s practice lies a profound ethical consideration, extending beyond the design phase to encompass the entire spectrum of operational intricacies. His perspective on time translates into an acceptance of material aging, emphasising the importance of allowing buildings to follow their natural course. Rooted in context, his architecture seeks not only continuity but harmonious integration within the Alpine landscapes they inhabit. In dialogue with the interviewer, Ruinelli emphasises his preference for artisanal work, highlighting the significance of precision in execution and the centrality of humans over materials. His poetic exploration is manifested in creating atmospheres and carefully balancing the dynamic components of a project. Reflecting on the role of the architect, he envisions them as craftsmen endowed with both technical acumen and creative vision. Finally, Ruinelli shares a meaningful project – the fountains in the Soglio cemetery – a creation laden with delicacy and symbolism that underscores the spiritual depth of his work
Simulated Events Production on the Grid for the BaBar Experiment
No full textThe BaBar experiment uses data since 1999 in examining the violation of charge and parity (CP) symmetry in the field of high energy physics. This event simulation experiment is a compute intensive task due to the complexity of the Monte-Carlo simulation implemented on the GEANT engine. Data needed as input for the simulation (stored in the ROOT format), are classified into two categories: conditions data for describing the detector status when data are recorded, and background triggers data for noise signal necessary to obtain a realistic simulation. In this chapter, the grid approach is applied to the BaBar production framework using the INFN-GRID network.</jats:p
Cajambre de Armando Romero
No full textThe last novel of the Colombian author Armando Romero takes place in the forest traversed by the river Cajambre, which flows into the Pacific Ocean. In this work, Romero recollect the culture of the Pacific coast, where he had the opportunity to live as a young man, and pays a tribute to African-American women of that area, which have always been the support of local communities. The tragic story of Ruperta allows the author to explore the social dynamics between different sectors of that community, and to investigate the relationships with the white strangers, called «paisas» . It is a strange noire and a tribute to the river, to its people and a personal story describing the wonderful and difficult impressionist landscape of the damp tropical jungle
A General Purpose Suite for Job Management, Bookkeeping and Grid Submission
No full textThis paper briefly presents the prototype of a software framework permitting different multi-disciplinary user communities to take advantage of the power of the Grid computing. The idea behind the project is to offer a software infrastructure allowing an easy, quick and customizable access to the Grid to research groups or organizations that need to simulate big amount of data
The distributed production system of the SuperB project: description and results
No full textThe SuperB experiment needs large samples of MonteCarlo simulated events in order to finalize the detector design and to estimate the data analysis performances. The requirements are beyond the capabilities of a single computing farm, so a distributed production model capable of exploiting the existing HEP worldwide distributed computing infrastructure is needed. In this paper we describe the set of tools that have been developed to manage the production of the required simulated events. The production of events follows three main phases: distribution of input data files to the remote site Storage Elements (SE); job submission, via SuperB GANGA interface, to all available remote sites; output files transfer to CNAF repository. The job workflow includes procedures for consistency checking, monitoring, data handling and bookkeeping. A replication mechanism allows storing the job output on the local site SE. Results from 2010 official productions are reported

MEME ANIES BASWEDAN JOKER OLEH ADE ARMANDO PADA MEDIA ONLINE DETIK.COM
No full textThis research originated from the author’s interest in the many cases of Ade Armando who played a role with various problems, the most exciting of which was the case of Ade Armando regarding the photo contamination of DKI Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan with the title “Framing Analysis of Anies Baswedan Joker’s Meme News Content By Ade Armando in the Media Online Detik.Com, Ade Armando made a meme containing a photo of the Governor of DKI Jakarta in the form of a notorious fictional Joker character. The photo of the meme contains the phrase “the evil governor starts from a dismissed minister”. Here the researcher wants to see how the online media Detik.com frames the news, there are various frames that represent the reality of the Anies Baswedan Joker meme case by Ade Armando. The author chooses online media detik.com because online media reveals a lot of these cases with 16 news stories compared to other online media. The author conducted a qualitative research by analyzing several news stories of the Anies Baswedan meme case using the Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M Kosicki’s framing analysis approach which has four dimensions, namely syntactic analysis (the way journalists compile facts), scripts (how journalists tell facts), thematic (the way the writer writes facts) and rhetorical (the journalist’s way of emphasizing the facts).
