BaBar data distribution using the storage resource broker

BaBar Experiment Data Distribution using the Storage Resource Broker

This paper describes the layout and experience in distributing large volumes of data from SLAC to CC-in2p3 and RAL. We describe the experience using the Storage Resource Broker to distribute more than 120TB of data from SLAC to CC-in2p3 and the experience in using a Grid tool in a production environment. We also describe the plans for extending the system to distribute BaBar data to RAL using t...

Implementing Preservation Services over the Storage Resource Broker

Many international institutions and organizations responsible for managing large distributed collections of scientific, cultural and educational resources are establishing data grids that employ the San Diego Supercomputer Centre’s Storage Resource Broker (SRB) for managing their collections. Over time, maintaining access to the resources stored within SRB data grids will become increasingly di...

Providing an OAI-PMH interface to the Storage Resource Broker

DICE e - Science Paper 1 Production Storage Resource Broker Data Grids

International data grids are now being built that support joint management of shared collections. An emerging strategy is to build multiple independent data grids, each managed by the local institution. The data grids are then federated to enable controlled sharing of files. We examine the management issues associated with maintaining federations of production data grids, including management o...

Grid Resource Broker Using Application Benchmarking

While the Grid is becoming a common word in the context of distributed computing, users are still experiencing long phases of adaptability and increased complexity when using the system. Although users have access to multiple resources, selecting the optimal resource for their application and appropriately launching the job is a tedious process that not only proves difficult for the naïve user,...
