ALIEN AND SUPERCOMPUTER TITAN INTERACTION TECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: Современные информационные технологии и ИТ-образование - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
The next launch of the LHC involves using much more resources than GRID can provide. To solve this problem, ALICE is engaged in a project to expand the existing computing model in order to include additional resources in it, for example, Titan supercomputer. This article explores the interaction technology of the AliEn computing environment and the Titan supercomputer located in the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF). This technology uses the PanDA (Production and Distributed Analysis System) WMS (Workload management system) to send jobs to the Titan batch processing queue and local data management. Through PanDA and Titan, the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider receive new resources to fulfill the assigned tasks. This implementation was tested using ALICE jobs. AliEn (ALIce ENvironment) is a distributed computing environment developed for the ALICE Offline project. It allows access to distributed computing resources and storage resources for all participants of the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Currently, AliEn allows to processing jobs on approximately 100,000 computing processors used in more than 80 GRID sites around the world. The architecture of the computing environment is 99% composed of imported components with open source, which makes possible to use the functionality without changing them. To connect AliEn and Grid infrastructure, used VOBOX service, which allows you to run your own services on computer sites, and also provides direct interaction with the batch processing queue for launching jobs.
