Completion of ATLAS DC2 ATLAS Software Week 10th December 2004 Gilbert Poulard (CERN PH-ATC) on behalf of ATLAS DC; Grid and Operations teams
Completion of DC2: Tier-0 exercise • Exercise • Do in 10 days what should be done in 1 day in 2007 • Original goal • Reconstructs and produce ESD (from BS) • Produces AOD and collections • For 10 M “pile-up” events “mixed” • And distributes ESD and AOD • Goals and schedule redefined in September • 10 M “mixed” events; 1 M “pile-up” events • Starting date 25 November (became 30) G. Poulard - CERN PH
Completion of DC2: Tier-0 exercise • Since then • Pre-tier-0 exercise (November 15) • Mixing using release 8.0.8 • Reconstruction with 9.0.1 • Thanks to this exercise (and to the involvement of “data base” people) • Tier-0 (November 30) • Reduced scope to 2.4 M events in 6 runs • Using events at CERN on November 28 • From RDO (instead of BS) • Event mixing with release 8.0.8 • Reconstruction with 9.0.2 • Some crashes • Not ready for “production” • Difficulties with the “infrastructure” • CASTOR and CASTORGrid G. Poulard - CERN PH
Completion of DC2 • It’s clear that we cannot finish by Xmas • Concentrate on • Going as far as possible in the current conditions • Test and validate as much as possible of the production chain • Understand “reconstruction” (memory and CPU usage) • In parallel preparing for a new “exercise” as soon as possible with • “Event mixing” producing BS • Reconstruction from BS • AOD production and building of event collections • From the same release 9.0.x • And do the Tier-0 exercise early (January) 2005 • “The exercise is more important than the date” G. Poulard - CERN PH
Completion of DC2 • We have also to • Run in parallel the reconstruction from the original “non-mixed” and “distributed” samples • B1; J1-J8; A9; 1.8 M events on Grid3 • A2; A1; A4; A5; 2.5 M events on NorduGrid • A3; A0; A7; 2 M events on LCG • A total of ~ 6 M events • And start • The event generation and the G4 simulation for the Rome workshop • 15 M events • ~ 1.4 M Si2k for 2 months (G4-simulation) • ~ 1800 CPUs • ~ 30 TB • Priorities to be (re)-defined G. Poulard - CERN PH
Completion of DC2 • DC2 Phase III (Analysis)? • Encourage(“push”) physicists to do analysis with produced DC2 data • Good test for testing analysis (and distributed) tools • But my understanding is that physicists are more “interested” by “initial-layout” data • Test of (Distributed) Analysis • Could be done with new (“initial layout” = “Rome”) data G. Poulard - CERN PH
Completion of DC2: proposal • Continue DC2 as it is • Before Xmas “accumulated” as much experience as possible • Go as far as possible with existing “release-transformations” • And testing of the “infrastructure” • Early January • (re) Run “event mixing” with the “agreed” release producing BS OUTPUT • Run Tier-O exercise • ESD; AOD; event collections production (INPUT/OUTPUT CERTIFIED) • Including distribution to Tier-1s and Tier-2s • At a level of “up to” 2.4 M events (plus some pile-up to gain experience) • This exercise is VERY important • And “Distributed Analysis” becomes part of Rome Physics workshop exercise G.
