Computing for D0 at NIKHEF

This page is under construction


At NIKHEF all computing resources have been moved into the LCG grid infrastructure. Monte Carlo jobs are submitted to this grid and via the resource broker sent to places where jobs from the DZERO Virtual Organisation are accepted. These places are:
  • Karlsruhe, Germany
  • Lyon, France
  • Manchester, UK
  • NIKHEF, Netherlands
  • Prague, Czech Republic
  • Rutherford, UK
  • SARA, Netherlands
  • Wuppertal, Germany
A complete accounting scheme is put in place which will show the contributions from these institutes. For the moment only the accounting at NIKHEF is available on this page.

Accounting

Last month, GHz-equivalent hours were used for Dzero on the local clusters (that is days of running on a 1 GHz Pentium processor).
