Data production of a large Linux PC Farm for the CDF experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The data production farm for the CDF experiment is designed and constructed to meet the needs of the Run II data collection at a maximum rate of 20 MByte/sec during the run. The system is composed of a large cluster of personal computers (PCs) with a high-speed network interconnect and a custom design control system for the flow of data and the scheduling of tasks on this PC farm. The farm explores and exploits advances in computing and communication technology. The data processing has achieved a stable production rate of approximately 2 TByte per day. The software and hardware of the CDF production farms has been successful in providing large computing and data throughput capacity to the experiment. PACS: 07.05-t.

CDF II Production Farm Project
We describe the architecture and discuss our operational experience in running the off-line reconstruction farm of the CDFII experiment. The Linux PC-based farm performs a wide set of tasks, ranging from producing calibrations and primary event reconstruction to large scale ntuple production. The farm control software uses a standard Condor toolkit [1] and the data handling part is based on SAM...
متن کاملCDF's Utilisation of Switched Circuit Optical Networks
The ESLEA project utilises the UKLight switched circuit optical network to enable guaranteed high bandwidth network links for a range of eScience applications. The high energy particle physics (HEP) experiment, Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF), is one such application endeavouring to exploit the potential of high speed optical network links. CDF produces a large amount of raw data (presently...

The aim of this paper is to use the concept of the metafrontier function to study the determination of efficiency differentials and Technological Gap Ratio (TGR) on wheat production in Khorasan Razavi province. In this study, we used the metafrontier function and group frontier based on the concept of Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data analysis (StoNED). The data used in this stud...
متن کاملGrid Based Monitoring on the Rutgers CDF Analysis Farm
Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider started in March 2001, and it will continue probing the high energy frontier in particle physics until the start of the LHC at CERN. The CDF collaboration at Fermilab has already stored 260 TB of data and expects to store 1PB of data in the next two years. The HEXCAF computing farm is being set up at Rutgers University to provide the software environment...
