Network Performance Testing for the BABAR Event Builder
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an overview of the design of event building in the BABAR Online, based upon TCP/IP and commodity networking technology. BABAR is a high-rate experiment to study CP violation in asymmetric ee collisions. In order to validate the event-builder design, an extensive program was undertaken to test the TCP performance delivered by various machine types with both ATM OC-3 and Fast Ethernet networks. The buffering characteristics of several candidate switches were examined and found to be generally adequate for our purposes. We highlight the results of this testing and present some of the more significant findings.

BABAR is a high-rate experiment to study CP violation in asymmetric e+e collisions. The BABAR Online Farm is a pool of workstations responsible for the last layer of event selection, as well as for full reconstruction of selected events and for monitoring functions. A large number of machine architectures were evaluated for use in this Online Farm. We present an overview of the results of this ...
متن کاملQuality of Service on Gigabit Ethernet for Event Builder
Congestion avoidance techniques for event builders using switching network technologies is a major issue. Traffic management of the data flow is an essential point to avoid congestion. Global traffic control is one of the mechanisms to manage the traffic. It uses global information of the switching network. While, traffic shaping technique is another mechanism not to use them. Quality of Servic...
