Développement d’un mécanisme de contrôle d’accès aux données

The LHCb experiment delivers proton-proton collisions at a rate up to 40 Mhz. The data collected are managed by a software call the Buffer Manager. The Buffer Manager is subdivided into two groups: the client part which is itself severed : the producers are to put the data into the memory and the consumers are to collect them for analysis, and the server part in charge of organising delivered by the producer and to deliver them to the client. This software contains a bug. If a problem occurs in one of the applications there is no way to wipe it off from the memory but to do it manually. The issue of the internship was to automate the clean-up task by setting-up a communication using named pipes.
