ATLAS Data Challenge 2: A massive Monte Carlo production on the GRID

Descripción
Sumario:The study and validation of the ATLAS Computing Model started three years ago and will continue for few years in the context of the so-called Data Chal-lenges (DC). DC1 was conducted during 2002-03; the main goals achieved were to set up the simulation data production infrastructure in a real worldwide collaborative effort and to gain experience in exercising an ATLAS wide production model. DC2 (from May until December 2004) is divided into three phases: (i) generate Monte Carlo data using GEANT4 on three different Grid projects: LCG, GRID3 and NorduGrid; (ii) simulate the first pass recon-struction of real data expected in 2007, and (iii) test the Distributed Analysis model. Experience with the use of the system in world-wide DC2 production of ten million events will be presented. We also present how the three Grid fla-vours are operated. Finally we discuss the first prototypes of Distributed Analy-sis systems.
