Analysis on the Grid

Analysis in a Grid environment requires many things in addition to running production. It also has a much stronger requirement that the users are shielded fron the Grid machinery by sophisticated user interfaces. Several projects are already underway and prototypes exist, but we are now in a phase when the requirements are being revisited and cross-experiment commonalities being sought.

Various requirement capture processes or workshops

  • ATLAS uses cases and requirement capture for GridPP in pdf .
  • PPDG workshops on interactive analysis tools are summarised at  http://www.ppdg.net/pa/ppdg-pa/idat/ .
  • Many requirements for interactive analysis are summarised in Word format  here.  

Existing Projects

  • GANGA a joint Grid interface project with LHCb
  • GRAPPA a fairly generic physics portal, but designed for ATLAS use.
  • DIAL  a project for distributed interactive analysis.
  • ADA  (ATLAS Distributed Analysis) is an ATLAS project to tie these pieces together and deliver and end-to-end distributed analysis system for ATLAS users
