  1. Distribution of ATLAS Software and configuration data Costin Caramarcu on behalf of ATLAS TDAQ SysAdmins

  2. Outline • Distribution of ATLAS Software • Serving the configuration database and calibration coefficients

  3. Distribution of ATLAS Software • Software is installed only on CFS1 • Software: TDAQ, HLT, Offline, external (LCG, JAVA, etc.) • We provide the following on LFSs: • Bins and libs from the OS (e.g. libshift for castor) • ATLAS software (/sw, multiple versions) • tdaq: 5.9G • offline: 18G … etc. • Detector specific sw (/det) • level1 calo: 36G • muons: 2.8G • hadronic calo: 696M …etc.

  4. CFS01 CFS02 LFSs Clients Distribution of ATLAS Software Use rsync over NILE • Parallel and hierarchical sync • Part or whole of the sw area can be sync’d • Advantageous over other methods like bittorrent, etc.. • Knowledge of Network topology

  5. Measurements • Flat hierarchy (1 level of sync, 10 nodes): • 1 node syncs the other 10 nodes (Nightly sync) • 2 h for 78 GBytes (no changes to sync) • Hierarchy (3 levels of sync, 12 nodes): • 1 node syncs 2 nodes after this finishes the 2 nodes sync the other 9 nodes • 4h 40m for 116 GBytes • Advantages for hierarchy • Smaller CPU load on top level servers (~2h for flat, ~1.2h for hierarchy) • Spreading of CPU usage over the levels • For a larger configuration, this time should decrease

  6. Other uses of LFS • We are running TDAQ related services on the LFSs for its own clients • TDAQ applications controller • TDAQ Information service (to gather statistics from the tdaq apps) • Services to serve databases • TDAQ configuration • Detector / trigger configuration

  7. TDAQ Conf DB RACK Z node X Local File Server RDB Application Serving the Configuration Database • TDAQ configuration • xml files to describe ATLAS online sw and hw parameters for given run • Information about what runs where, how and at which moment • required by each online application • accessed via Remote DB Server (RDB) on top of CORBA protocol • More then one application per node • RDB server gets data via NFS from db repository (will be replaced by CORBA) NFS, later CORBA

  8. MySQL TDAQ Conf DB DBProxy RACK Z node X Local File Server NFS, later CORBA RDB DBProxy Oracle Serving the Configuration Database • Trigger / detector config • systems-specific config & conditions data are stored in relational DB • DBProxy – cache and relay for MySQL (possibly Oracle in future) • Hierarchical tree of DBProxy over cluster • POOL files for calibration data • Retrieved by dedicated server from offline • Possibility to store data for next run on LFS and accessed via NFS by application
