  4. AMS Ground Centers (Ground Support Computers) • At Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Huntsville Al • Receives monitoring and science data from NASA Payload Operation and Integration Center (POIC) • Buffers data until retransmission to the AMS Science Operation Center (SOC) and if necessary to AMS Payload Operations and Control Center (POCC) • Runs unattended 24h/day, 7 days/week • Must buffer about 600 GB (data for 2 weeks) Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  5. AMS Ground Centers (Payload Operation and Control Center) • AMS02 “Counting Room” • Usual source of AMS commands • Receives H&S, monitoring, science and NASA data in real-time mode • Monitor the detector state and performance • Process about 10% of data in near real time mode to provide fast information to the shift taker • Video distribution “box” • Voice loops with NASA • Computing Facilities Primary and backup commanding stations Detector and subdetectors monitoring stations Stations for event display and subdetectors status displays Linux servers for online data processing and validation Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  6. AMS Ground Centers (Science Operation Center) • Receives the complete copy of ALL data • Data reconstruction, calibration, alignment and processing, generates event summary data and does event classification • Science analysis • Archive and record ALL raw, reconstructed and H&S data • Data distribution to AMS Universities and Laboratories Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  7. (Regional Centers) AMS Ground Centers • Analysis facility to support physicists from geographically closed AMS Universities and Laboratories; • Monte-Carlo Production; • Provide access to SOC data storage (event visualisation, detector and data production status, samples of data , video distribution); • Mirroring AMS DST/ESD. Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  8. AMS Data Volume (Tbytes) STS91 ISS Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  11. AMS02 Benchmarks 1) Executive time of AMS “standard” job compare to CPU clock 1) V.Choutko, A.Klimentov AMS note 2001-11-01 Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  12. AMS SOC (Data Production requirements) • Reliability – High (24h/day, 7days/week) • Performance goal – process data “quasi-online” (with typical delay < 1 day) • Disk Space – 12 months data “online” • Minimal human intervention (automatic data handling, job control and book-keeping) • System stability – months • Scalability • Price/Performance Complex system that consists of computing components including I/O nodes, worker nodes, data storage and networking switches. It should perform as a single system. Requirements : Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

AMS TIM. July 2003.

  19. Data Transmission • Will AMS need a dedicated line to send data from MSFC to ground centers or the public Internet can be used ? • What Software (SW) must be used for a bulk data transfer and how reliable is it ? • What data transfer performance can be achieved ? High Rate Data Transfer between MSFC Al and POCC/SOC, POCC and SOC, SOC and Regional centers will become a paramount importance Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  20. Data Transmission SW 1) Why not FileTransferProtocol (ftp) or ncftp , etc ? to speed up data transfer to encrypt sensitive data and not encrypt bulk data to run in batch mode with automatic retry in case of failure • … starting to look around and came up with bbftp in September 2001 (still looking for a good network monitoring tools) (bbftp developed in BaBar and used to transmit data from SLAC to IN2P3@Lyon) adapted it for AMS, wrote service and control programs A.Elin, A.Klimentov AMS note 2001-11-02 P.Fisher, A.Klimentov AMS Note 2001-05-02 Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  21. Data Transmission SW (tests) Alexei Klimentov. AMS TIM. July 2003.

  22. Data Transmission Tests (conclusions) • In its current configuration Internet provides sufficient bandwidth to transmit AMS data from MSFC Al to AMS ground centers at rate approaching 9.5 Mbit/sec • bbftp is able to transfer and store data on a high end PC reliably with no data loss • bbftp performance is comparable of what achieved with network monitoring tools • bbftp can be used to transmit data simultaneously to multiple cites Alexei Klimentov.
