2. L. Perini DATAGRID WP8 Use-cases 19 Dec 2000 2 Status of ATLAS computing Phase of very active s/w development (ATHENA OO framework, LHCb similarities) –Physics TDR completed > 1 year ago (old s/w) –HLT TDR postponed around end 2001 (new s/w chain availability) No global ATLAS production going on now, but specific detector, trigger and physics studies are active, and willing to exploit and test GRID –TDR and Tile Testbeam Objy federations –B-Physics in Lund –Muon barrel trigger (INFN responsibility)

4. L. Perini DATAGRID WP8 Use-cases 19 Dec 2000 4 Remote use of DB (Objy) Master federation soon available at CERN with TDR runs –First Scenario: A user request for a particular run triggers a check for its presence in the local federation. If it is not present, a grid- enabled transfer of the corresponding database from the CERN master federation is initiated. As in GDMP, the database must not only be transferred, but also appropriately attached to the local Objectivity federation. –Extension scenario: The particular run may not yet be available in the master federation at CERN, either. A request for such a run migh trigger a job at CERN that first imports the Zebra version of the data into the master Objectivity federation, before proceeding as in the scenario above.

5. L. Perini DATAGRID WP8 Use-cases 19 Dec 2000 5 Remote use of DB (Objy) In May Testbeam data for Tile Calorimeter will be available –Remote subscriptions to data generated at CERN A remote institution wishes to "subscribe" to the testbeam data, so that any new runs added to the master database at CERN are automatically replicated in a federation at a remote site that has subscribed to these data Related and similar DB use-cases may be very naturally generated on these time-scales, however no resources are yet commited in ATLAS for this kind of effort
