Eksperiment requirements
• Example of on-line conditions
– ~108 electronic channels to read at
40 MHz
– 1 PB/sec of raw info from the
detector
– ~few TB/sec of zero suppressed
data ( channels with signal only)
• Multi-level trigger system
– Reduction factor 106-107
– Output rate > 100 MB/sec
• 107 sec/year ~few PB of raw data
per experiment

(Pre)History
• MONARC (Models of Networked Analysis at Regional Centres for
LHC Experiments)
– Simulate data processing (a kind of Monte Carlo model):
• a complex set of networked computing systems (CERN, Tier-1 and Tier-2
regional centres)
• the analysis process, composed of a dynamic workload of reconstruction and
analysis
• the behaviour of key elements of the system, such as distributed database
servers and the networks
One of the problems @ 2000:
data sharing difficult due to the
prohibitively high cost of networking
Even more pronounced in Poland at that time !!!

Polish participation in networking and grid projects
Polish part of WLCG emerged out of many different projects.
Some of them not directly related to HEP. Nevertheless they provided infrastructure and common tools.
PIONIER, CrossGrid, EGEE and PL-Grid were essential for the
development of Polish WLCG infrastructure.

development
– Europe's first national academic network that uses its own dark fiber optics and DWDM 10GE
transmission
– Connects 21 Academic Network Centers of Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and 5 of the
HPC (High Performance Computing) centers.

Towards physics results - that is what WLCG was built for
Successful LHC restart in 2009
Excellent performance of the LHC
and the experiments
3.5*1014 collisions delivered in 2011
Every experiment (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb) has its own
computing model. All based on multi-tier structure
The RAW data reside in Tier-0 and Tier-1. The final
physics result is an effect of many processing steps.
Some steps have to be repeated when better
detector calibration and alignment appear.

The role of Tier-2 sites:
Monte Carlo production
Analysis centre (larger sites)

Polish sites provide about 2% of the total computing power in proportion
to the engagement of Polish scientists in the LHC experiments.

Highlight from LHCb
Increase over 100% mainly due to Cyfronet additional resources
At present 69 Tier-2 federations in 33
countries. The size of Polish Tier-2 is in
top 20.
A week with 9 % contribution of Cyfronet
to the LHCb reprocessing of 2011 data.
Congratulations for the site performance
from the LHCb computing team.

Summary
• Polish physicists and computer scientists created distributed WLCG
Tier2, which availability and efficiency is high; the delivered
resources are in the range 2-3 % of the total.
• The performance of the WLCG matches high requirements of the
data processing of LHC experiments.
• Lots of highest quality physics results are being shown recently.
Much more are on the way, hopefully showing New Physics.
Acknowledgments
We would like to thank all people for their contribution to the successful creation and operation of Polish Tier-2
Federation. In particular the management and staff of the three computing centres, ACC Cyfronet AGH in Krakow,
ICM UW in Warsaw and PSNC in Poznan for their constructive cooperation. A supportive approach of the
directorates of IFJ PAN Krakow and IPJ Warsaw is also appreciated. We are also grateful to many people from
CERN, the FZK Karlsruhe and other WLCG collaborating institutions for their friendly advice and support.
