SRB in BaBar:
SRB in BaBar SRB developed by SDSC being used for data distribution in BaBar. Provides a system capable of moving variety of different types of data with same interface.
Deploying SRB for:
Distributing conditions dbs.
Distributing background triggers.
Distributing Event data.
(can also be used to distribute XTC files).
SRB in BaBar:
SRB in BaBar Currently have tested:
Distribution of xtc files from SLAC to Rome (part of testing transfer rates).
Distribution of root data to GridKA (12 and 14 series data).
Distribution of conditions data from SLAC to ccin2p3, GridKA, Bristol and ISU and Rome. GridKA and ccin2p3 get conds for production this way now.
Tested scaling of MCAT with ~300K collections stored. Time to query 1 collection ~1-2secs.
Tested robustness of SRB and MCAT continuous use over 2 week period with no problems.
SRB in BaBar:
SRB in BaBar All testing done with SRB v2
Deploying SRB v3 in production allows federation of SRB MCATs.
Architecture of system: 1 MCAT @ SLAC, 1 MCAT @ ccin2p3. Both synchronized with each other.
Users connect to one or other MCAT to get data.
