Networking at an ATLAS Tier-1 (Tl) facility is a demanding aspect which is vital to the overall performance and efficiency of the facility. External connectivity of the facility to other tiers of the large hadron collider optical private network (LHCOPN) is largely via dedicated lightpaths as required to meet memorandum of understanding (MOU) commitments. Our primary dedicated link to CERN has an...
The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located in Geneva, will collect 3 to 4 petabytes or PB (1015 bytes) of data for each year of its operation, when fully commissioned. Secondary data sets resulting from event reconstruction, reprocessing and calibration will result in an additional 2.5 PB for each year of data taking. Simulated data sets require also significant resources as...
In preparation for the startup of the LHC at CERN, the ATLAS collaboration is performing computing challenges of increasing complexity and scale. Monte Carlo production is ongoing with some 10,000 concurrent jobs worldwide, including at Canadian collaborating institutes. TRIUMF hosts one of the 10 ATLAS 'Tier-1' data and computing centres, where 270 TB of data per year will be transferred, by high...
