Overview of the PANDA Grid — •Rene Dosdall1, Dan Protopopescu2, and Kilian Schwarz3 — 1IKP, Forschungszentrum Juelich — 2University of Glasgow — 3GSI Darmstadt
PANDA is one of the main experiments at the new FAIR facility and will investigate the properties of hadrons in the charm quark mass region produced in antiproton annihilation reactions.
The PANDA experiment will produce a large amount of data (~1 PByte/year) and the analysis will require the continuous use of several hundred CPUs. To accomplish this Grid Computing (distributed Analysis/Storage of Data) is needed.
The PANDA Grid provides access to the required computing infrastructure for large scale simulations during the detector development phase and later for the data analysis. Access to the Grid is realized with the middleware AliEn which is developed at CERN.
For testing two data challenges of one week each and up to 10 institutions participating have taken place.
This report will present the structure and performance of the PANDA Grid system.
