CASTOR status and evolution

In January 1999, CERN began to develop CASTOR ("CERN Advanced STORage manager"). This Hierarchical Storage Manager targetted at HEP applications has been in full production at CERN since May 2001. It now contains more than two Petabyte of data in roughly 9 million files. In 2002, 350 Terabytes of data were stored for COMPASS at 45 MB/s and a Data Challenge was run for ALICE in preparation for t...

Storage Resource Sharing with CASTOR

The Cern Advanced STORage (CASTOR) system is a hierarchical storage management system developed at CERN to meet the requirements for high energy physics applications. The existing disk cache management subsystem in CASTOR, the stager, was developed more than a decade ago and was intended for relatively moderate (large at the time) sized disk caches and request load. Due to internal limitations ...

Le livre est tout le problème

The search into new ways of writing is confronted with certain obstacles, the foremost of which is that of the book and its conventions inherited from 536 years of existence. Yet, literature is by in large independent of the particular medium that is the book, as reminds us the age-old oral tradition or the contemporary research of the Oulipo. The incursion of the computer into literature has t...

Transdermal Absorption of Castor Oil

With the current high level of interest in patches to deliver drugs across the skin, the concept of external applications for delivery of medicinal substances is becoming widely accepted. This study evaluated the potential for transdermal absorption of castor oil, a treatment modality recommended by Edgar Cayce. Specific epoxydicarboxylic acids are known to be excreted via the urine when castor...
