4. Open an MC event from Web server

5. Production plans

6. Status of simulated event production
180 k mbias events
270 k bb inclusive
7*106 total number of events simulated so far ( 1 TB data)

7. Current capacity Production centers for simulation: For analysis:
No dedicated LHCb facility
CERN CSF (being phased out for us)
RAL CSF
IN2P3
Heidelberg
For analysis:
CERN RSBATCH/RSPLUS (being phased out for us)

8. New production centers
CERN- Planned by end 1999:
CSF  PCSF (first production 300k events done for new magnet study, 150 k events/week)
RSBATCH  Linux cluster (analysis batch)
RSPLUS  LXTEST (interactive logon service)
LHCb LSF cluster (corridor PC’s, 50 LHCb machines available,  75 k events/week)

9. New production centers
Outside CERN (figures for v116/117):
Liverpool ( 50 times PCSF, 7500 k events/week)
RAL PC farm (half the size of PCSF, ie  75 k events/week)
RAL CSF ( 10 k events/week)
Lyon IN2P3 ( 20 k events/week)
RIO Linux farm (?)

11. SICB performance

14. Test release Http://lhcb.cern.ch/computing/analysis/default.htm
Download the file install.class
Install jdk (from IBM) for best preformance
Type java install

15. Future work Make an XML conversion service instead of an algorithm
Re-arrange hits & reconstructed tracks
Improve interactivity
