4. Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 4 Necessity of Distributed Computing? l ATLAS will collect RAW data at 320 MB/s for 50k seconds/day and ~100 days/year nRAW data: 1.6 PB/year l Processing (and re-processing) these events will require ~10k CPUs full time the first year of data-taking, and a lot more in the future as data accumulate l Reconstructed events will also be large, as people want to study detector performance as well as do physics analysis using the output data nESD data: 1.0 PB/year, AOD data: 0.1 PB/year l At least 10k CPUs are also needed for continuous simulation production of at least 30% of the real data rate and for analysis l There is no way to concentrate all needed computing power and storage capacity at CERN nThe LEP model will not scale to this level l The idea of distributed computing, and later of the computing grid, became fashionable at the turn of the century and looked promising when applied to HEP experiments’ computing needs

Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 Ubiquitous Wide Area Network Bandwidth l First Computing TDR’s assumed not enough network bandwidth l The Monarch project proposed multi Tier model with this in mind l Today network bandwidth is our least problem l But we still have the Tier model in the LHC experiments l Not in all parts of the world ideal network yet (last mile) l LHCOPN provides excellent backbone for Tier-0 and Tier-1’s l Each LHC experiment has adopted differently K.Bos. “Status and Prospects of The LHC Experiments Computing”.

13. Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 Data Processing Cycle Data processing at CERN (Tier-0 processing) nFirst-pass processing of the primary event stream nThe derived datasets (ESD, AOD, DPD, TAG) are distributed from the Tier-0 to the Tier-1s nRAW data (received from Event Filter Farm) are exported within 24h. This is why first-pass processing can be done by Tier-1s (though this facility was not used during LHC beam and cosmic ray runs) Data reprocessing at Tier-1s n10 Tier-1 centers world wide. Each takes a subset of RAW data (Tier-1 shares from 5% to 25%), ATLAS production facilities at CERN can be used in case of emergency. nEach Tier-1 reprocessed its share of RAW data. The derived datasets are distributed ATLAS-wide. 13 See P.Nevski’ talk NEC2009, LHC Computing

15. Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 ATLAS Distributed Analysis 15 Probably the most important area at this point It depends on a functional data management and job management system Two widely used distributed analysis tools (Ganga and pathena) They capture the great majority of users We expect the usage to grow substantially in the preparation and especially in the 2009/10 run Present/traditional use cases: AOD/DPD analysis clearly very important But also run over selected RAW (for detector debugging, studying etc…) J.Elmsheuser Sep09 ATLAS jobs go to the data

16. Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 ATLAS Grid Information System (AGIS) The overall purpose of ATLAS Grid Information System is to store and to expose static, dynamic and configuration parameters needed by ATLAS Distributed Computing (ADC) applications. AGIS is a database oriented system. The first AGIS proposal from G.Poulard. The pioneering work of R.Pezoa and R.Rocha in summer 2008, and definition of basic design principles implemented in ‘dashboards’. Now development is leaded by ATLAS BINP group. Today’s situation : various configuration parameters and information about available resources, services and its status and properties are extracted from different sources or they are defined in different configuration files (sometimes Grid information is hard coded in application programs). 16

17. Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 AGIS Architecture Overview l System architecture should allow to add new classes of information or sites configuration parameters, to reconfigure ATLAS clouds topology and production queues, to add and to modify users information. l AGIS is ORACLE based information system. l AGIS stores as read-only data extracted from the external databases (f.e, OIM, GOCDB, BDII) and ADC configuration information which can be modified. l The synchronization of AGIS content with the external sources will be done by agents (data providers), agents will access databases via standard interfaces. 17

22. Alexei Klimentov : ATLAS Distributed Computing NEC2009 Varna- 10 September 2009 Summary & Conclusions l The ATLAS Collaboration has developed a set of software and middleware tools that enable access to data for physics analysis purposes to all members of the collaboration, independently of their geographical location.
