6. Current Status The Framework delivers some components which can be connected to each other in order to construct a processing pipeline(s). All components share a common base called Device Devices are grouped by three categories: – Source: Data Readers (Simulated, raw) – Message-based Processor: Sink, Splitter, Merger, Buffer, Proxy – Content-based Processor: Processor M. Al-Turany, CWG13 meeting April 25, 20146

7. The Dynamic Deployment System (DDS) Should: Deploy task or set of tasks Use (utilize) any RMS (Slurm, Grid Engine, … ), Secure execution of nodes (watchdog), Support different topologies and task dependencies Support a central log engine ….

8. Test Cluster 8 machines from DAQ lab with SLC6-64 – aidrefma01-08 FairRoot + FairSoft are installed – /local/home/cwg13/install/FairRoot Tutorial3 can be used as a demonstrator April 25, 2014M. Al-Turany, CWG13 meeting 8

9. Some remarks Mixture of SL6.5 and SL6.4 – Binary compatible but I had to switch off the test in config.sh /etc/issue is not available which also require a manual change for FairRoot Is there any way to export the display from these machines? April 25, 2014M. Al-Turany, CWG13 meeting 9

10. First test Two Samplers – aidrefma03 and aidrefma08 Six Processors – aidrefma04 and aidrefma05 One File writer (sink) – aidrefma02 April 25, 2014M. Al-Turany, CWG13 meeting 10
