SLIDE 5 Daniele Bonacorsi ISGC 2010 Symposium, Taipei, Taiwan - 09 March 2010
STEP’09
CMS Tier-0 in STEP’09
5
Sustained >1 GB/s for ~3 days
[ no overlap with ATLAS here ]
STEP T0 Scale Testing Period 1 [ June 6-9 ] STEP T0 Scale Testing Period 2 [ June 12-15 ]
Peak > 1.4 GB/s for ≥ 8 hrs
[ ATLAS writing at 450 MB/s at the same time ]
CRUZET MWGR MWGR
CMS stores 1 ‘cold’ (archival) copy of recorded RAW+RECO data at T0 on tape
✦
Can CMS archive the needed tape-writing rates? What when other VO’s run at the same time?
In STEP’09, CMS generated a tape-writing load at CERN, overlapping with other exps
✦
To maximize tape rates, CMS ran the repacking/merging T0 workflow (streamer to RAW conversion, I/ O-intensive), in two test periods within Cosmic runs (CRUZET, MWGR’s)
Successful in both testing periods (one w/ ATLAS, one w/o ATLAS)
✦
Structure in first period, due to problems in Castor disk pool mgmt
✦
no evidence of destructive overlap with ATLAS
