Developing LHCb Grid software: experiences and advances
نویسندگان
چکیده
The LHCb grid software has been used for two Physics Data Challenges, the most recent of which will have produced 90 TB of data and required over 400 processor-years of computing power. This paper discusses the group’s experience with developing Grid Services, interfacing to the LCG, running LHCb experiment software on the grid, and the integration of a number of new technologies into the LHCb grid software. Our experience and utilisation of the following core technologies will be discussed: OGSI, XML-RPC, grid services, LCG middle-ware, and instant messag-

DIRAC Lightweight Information and Monitoring Services using XML-RPC and Instant Messaging
This paper presents recent work on a scalable, lightweight approach for distributed information and monitoring systems done for the LHCb experiment’s DIRAC grid software package. Two complementary systems are presented, one based on a layered, DNS-like information service, and the other a monitoring mechanism using instant messaging for ad hoc networks which are formed in a grid environment. Th...
متن کاملOptimisation of LHCb Applications for Multi- and Manycore Job Submission
The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) is the largest Computing Grid and is used by all Large Hadron Collider experiments in order to process their recorded data. It provides approximately 400k cores and storages. Nowadays, most of the resources consist of multiand manycore processors. Conditions at the Large Hadron Collider experiments will change and much larger workloads and jobs consuming ...
متن کاملDirac Infrastructure for Distributed Analysis
DIRAC is the LHCb Workload and Data Management system for Monte Carlo simulation, data processing and distributed user analysis. Using DIRAC, a variety of resources may be integrated, including individual PC’s, local batch systems and the LCG grid. We report here on the progress made in extending DIRAC for distributed user analysis on LCG. In this paper we describe the advances in the workload ...
متن کاملGRID Storage Optimization in Transparent and User-Friendly Way for LHCb Datasets
The LHCb collaboration is one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Many petabytes of data are produced by the detectors and Monte-Carlo simulations. The LHCb Grid interware LHCbDIRAC [1] is used to make data available to all collaboration members around the world. The data is replicated to the Grid sites in different locations. However the Grid disk storage is lim...
متن کاملDetector Description Framework in LHCb
The Gaudi architecture and framework are designed to provide a common infrastructure and environment for simulation, filtering, reconstruction and analysis applications. In this context, a Detector Description Service was developed in LHCb in order to also provide easy and coherent access to the description of the experimental apparatus. This service centralizes every information about the dete...
