1 The D0 NIKHEF Farm Kors Bos Ton Damen Willem van Leeuwen Fermilab, May

2 Layout of this talk D0 Monte Carlo needs The NIKHEF D0 farm The data we produce The SAM data base A Grid intermezzo The network The next steps Fermilab, May

3 D0 Monte Carlo needs D0 Trigger rate is 100 Hz, 10 7 seconds/yr  10 9 events/yr We want 10% of that be simulated  10 8 events/yr To simulate 1 QCD event takes ~3 minutes (size ~2 Mbyte) –On a 800 MHz PIII So 1 cpu can produce ~10 5 events/yr (~200 Gbyte) –Assuming a 60% overall efficiency So our 100 cpu farm can produce ~10 7 events/yr (~20 Tbyte) –And this is only 10% of the goal we set ourselves –Not counting Nijmegen D0 farm yet So we need another 900 cpu’s –UTA (50), Lyon (200), Prague(10), BU(64), –Nijmegen(50), Lancaster(200), Rio(25),

4 How it looks

5 The NIKHEF D0 Farm Farm Server 100 Mbit/s Surfnet 1 Gbit/s SARA network Tape 1 Gbit/s switch 100 Mbit/s NIKHEF network 1 Gbit/s 1.5 TB disk cache File Server 1 Gbit/s Sam station Farm nodes.. Etc. Meta 155 Mbit/s Sam station

6 50 Farm nodes (100 cpu’s) Dell Precision Workstation 220 Dual Pentium III processor 800 MHz / 256 kB cache each 512 MB PC800 ECC RDRAM 40 GB (7200 rpm) ATA-66 disk drive no screen no keyboard no mouse wake up on Lan functionality

7 The File Server Elonex EIDE Server Dual Pentium III 700 MHz 512 MB SDRAM 20 GByte EIDE disk 1.2 Tbyte : 75 GB EIDE disks 2 x Gigabit Netgear GA620 network card The Farm Server Dell Precision 620 workstation Dual Pentium III Xeon 1 GHz 512 MB RDRAM 72.8 GByte SCSI disk Will also serve as D0 software server for the NIKHEF/D0 people

8 Software on the farm Boot via the network Standard Redhat Linux 6.2 Ups/upd on the server D0 software on the server FBSNG on the server, deamon on the nodes SAM on the file server Used to test new machines …

9 What we run on the farm Particle Generator: Pythia or Isajet Geant Detector simulation: d0gstar Digitization, adding min.bias: psim Check the data: mc_analyze Reconstruction: preco Analysis: reco_analyze

10 Example: Min.bias Did a run with 1000 events on all cpu’s –Took ~2 min./event –So ~1.5 days for the whole run –Ouput file size ~575 MByte We left those files on the nodes reason for enough local disk space Intend to repeat that “sometimes”
