چکیده

The data acquisition system for the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will require a large and high performance event building network. Several switch technologies are currently being evaluated in order to compare different architectures for the event builder. One candidate is Myrinet. This paper describes the demonstrator which has been setup to study a small-scale (16x16) event builder based on PCs running Linux connected to Myrinet and Ethernet switches. A detailed study of the Myrinet switch performance has been performed for various traffic conditions, including the behaviour of composite switches. Results from event building studies are presented, including measurements on throughput, overhead and scaling. Traffic shaping techniques have been implemented and the effect on the event building performance has been investigated.

Available on Cms Information Server Cms Lnternal Note Evaluation of Oracle9i to Manage Cms Event Store: Oracle Architecture to Store Petabyte of Data (part One)

Oracle has been progressively adding support for very large databases and extended objects. The Data Warehouse technique of Oracle may help in storing the Petabyte of data, which will be generated per year by CMS experiment. This report proposes how the Oracle9i tools could be used for event store and client side configuration to access data from Oracle Database by using CMS application.

Modeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism

In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...

A Mathematical Model for Cell Formation in CMS Using Sequence Data

Cell formation problem in Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) design has derived the attention of researchers for more than three decades. However, use of sequence data for cell formation has been the least investigated area. Sequence data provides valuable information about the flow patterns of various jobs in a manufacturing system. This paper presents a new mathematical model to solve a cell...
