2. Jochen Thäder – Kirchhoff Institute of Physics - University of Heidelberg 2 PC² Paderborn PC² - Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing Architecture of the ARMINIUS cluster –200 nodes with Dual Intel Xeon 64-bit, 3.2 GHz –800 GByte main memory (4 GByte each) –InfiniBand network –Gigabit Ethernet network –RedHat Linux 4

3. Jochen Thäder – Kirchhoff Institute of Physics - University of Heidelberg 3 General Test - Configuration Hardware Configuration –200 nodes with Dual 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon CPUs –Gigabit Ethernet Framework Configuration –HLT Data Framework with TCP Dump Subscriber processes (TDS) –HLT Online Display connecting to TDS Software Configuration –RHEL 4 update 1 –RHEL 2.6.9 kernel version –2.6 bigphys area patch –PSI2 driver for 2.6

4. Jochen Thäder – Kirchhoff Institute of Physics - University of Heidelberg 4 Full TPC (36 slices) on 188 nodes (I) Hardware Configuration –188 nodes with Dual 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon CPUs Framework Configuration –Compiled in debug mode, no optimizations –Setup per slice (6 incoming DDLs) 3 nodes for cluster finding each node with 2 filepublisher processes and 2 cluster finding processes 2 nodes for tracking each node with 1 tracking processes –8 Global Merger processes merging the tracks of the 72 tracking nodes

6. Jochen Thäder – Kirchhoff Institute of Physics - University of Heidelberg 6 Full TPC (36 slices) on 188 nodes (III) Empty Events –Real data format, empty events, no hits/tracks –Rate approx. 2.9 kHz after tracking –Limited by the filepublisher processes

7. Jochen Thäder – Kirchhoff Institute of Physics - University of Heidelberg 7 Full TPC (36 slices) on 188 nodes (IV) Simulated Events –simulated pp data (14 TeV, 0.5 T) –Rate approx. 220 Hz after tracking –Limited by the tracking processes Solution: use more nodes

8. Jochen Thäder – Kirchhoff Institute of Physics - University of Heidelberg 8 Conclusion of Full TPC Test Main bottleneck is the processing of the data itself The system is not limited by the HLT data transport framework Test limitations by number of available nodes
