DOE/NSF USCMS Computing and Software Report. HLT Studies D. Acosta2 CMS DAQ Architecture CMS has a multi-tiered trigger system: è L1 reduces rate from 40 MHz to 75 kHz p Custom hardware processes calorimeter and muon data to select electrons, photons, jets, muons, E T above threshold è L2, L3,… (HLT) reduces rate from 75 kHz to 100 Hz p Commercial CPU farm runs online programs to select physics channels HLT

June 29, 2000DOE/NSF USCMS Computing and Software Report. HLT Studies D. Acosta3 DAQ / HLT Challenge è HLT selection algorithms must keep only 1 event out of 1000 p Limited by ability to filter a L1 data sample which is already rich in physics è DAQ bandwidth is finite p Total event size is 1 MB, event rate is 75 kHz p Bandwidth limited by switch and link technology First HLT milestone: Demonstrate that L2 can achieve 10X rate reduction using only 25% of the event data è Partial event reconstruction using only calorimeter and muon data

June 29, 2000DOE/NSF USCMS Computing and Software Report. HLT Studies D. Acosta4 CMS Physics Groups Physics Reconstruction and Selection (PRS) groups were established by CMS in 1999: è Electron/PhotonC. Seez è MuonU. Gasparini è Jet/Missing E T S. Eno è b/tauA. Caner p Overall coordination by P. Sphicas Charge is to evaluate the physics capability of CMS from L1 to offline US-CMS has substantial involvement in the Electron/Photon, Jet/MET and Muon groups è Focus of the Calorimeter, Endcap Muon, and TriDAS construction project communities

June 29, 2000DOE/NSF USCMS Computing and Software Report. HLT Studies D. Acosta5 Context of Studies The L1 Trigger TDR is targeted for November, 2000 è Final design efficiencies and rates being determined The DAQ TDR is targeted for November, 2001 è Need to understand the rejection capability of the HLT triggers and the amount of data each step requires to validate possible hardware solutions A Physics TDR is targeted for 2003 è It was delayed to allow for the transition to object-oriented software In all cases, we need to validate the algorithms for the CMS physics plan, taking into account all possible backgrounds

June 29, 2000DOE/NSF USCMS Computing and Software Report. HLT Studies D. Acosta6 HLT History First HLT milestone was set for November 1999, 6 months after the creation of the PRS groups Despite rapid progress, milestone was not met: è Growing pains: p First wide scale use of ORCA as a tool è Learning curve: p Many inexperienced users and developers tackling C++ è Not enough time: p More validation needed of reconstruction software p Endcap Muon software not completed p HLT algorithms developed only at the last minute è Insufficient manpower and resources HLT milestone postponed until July 21, 2000

Acosta7 Recent Developments Transition from ORCA3 to ORCA4 è Full migration to Objectivity in place of Zebra files è Additional functionality p Inclusion of endcap muon code (L1 and reconstruction) p Correct handling of out-of-time b.x. in calorimeter è Further validation tests Production of large simulated event samples è Why?  inel = 55 mb and L = (  17.3 collisions/b.x.) è GEANT3 production at CERN, Italy, and U.S. (Caltech, UFlorida, UCDavis) è OO hit formatting and digitization done at CERN p 2 weeks for each on a large Linux PC farm è Users access a User Federation p All file/database details hidden from user p Standard ntuples produced for physics groups

June 29, 2000DOE/NSF USCMS Computing and Software Report. HLT Studies D. Acosta15 Conclusions Closing in on HLT milestone for L2 performance è Expect results in mid – July è However, this is just a first pass at the code that will eventually run online. Will have to optimize, etc. The task is challenging and work intensive! è Production is finally complete, analysis is underway The HLT groups are driving (US)CMS software & computing Significant work performed by U.S. physicists in Endcap Muon, Jet/MET, and e/  groups è Could use even more manpower, since the “users” are often the code developers as well User facilities and software/computing support are essential for U.S. physicists to maintain the prominent role taken so far
