  3. PHENIX CC-J : Overview • PHENIX Regional Computing Center in Japan (CC-J) at RIKEN wako • Scope • Principal site of computing for PHENIX simulation • PHENIX CC-J is aiming at coveringmost of the simulation tasks of the whole PHENIX experiments • Regional Asian computing center • Center for the analysis of RHIC spin physics • Architecture • Essentially follow the architecture of RHIC Computing Facility (RCF) at BNL • Construction • R&D for the CC-J started in April ‘98 at RBRC • Construction began in April ‘99 over athree years period • 1/3 scale of of the CC-J started operation in June 2000

  4. Concept of the CC-J System

  5. Annual Data amount DST 150 TB micro-DST 45 TB Simulated Data 30 TB Total225 TB Hierarchical Storage System Handle data amount of 225TB/year Total I/O bandwidth: 112 MB/s HPSS system Disk storage system 15 TB capacity All RAID system I/O bandwidth: 520 MB/s System Requirement for the CC-J • CPU ( SPECint95) • Simulation 8200 • Sim. Reconst 1300 • Sim. ana. 170 • Theor. Mode 800 • Data Analysis 1000 • Total 11470 SPECint95 • ( = 120K SPECint2000) • Data Duplication Facility • Export/import DST, simulated data.

  6. Other Requirements as a Regional Computing Center • Software Environment • Software environment of the CC-J should be compatible to the PHENIX Offline Software environment at the RHIC Computing Facility (RCF) at BNL • AFS accessibility (/afs/rhic) • Objectivity/DB accessibility • Data Accessibility • Need exchange data of 225 TB/year to RCF • Most part of the data exchange will be done by SD3 tapecartridges (50GB/volume) • Some part of the data exchange will be done over theWAN • CC-J will use Asia-Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) for US-Japan connection • http://www.apan.net/ • APAN has currently 70 Mbps bandwidth for Japan-US connection • Expecting 10-30% of the APAN bandwidth (7-21 M bps) can be used for this project: • 75-230 GB/day ( 27 - 82 TB/year) will be transferred over the WAN

  7. Project plan and current status of the CC-J

  8. Activity since the last review (in these 15 months) • Construction of the CC-J at phase 1,2 • Phase 1 and 1/3 of Phsae 2 hardware installed • High Performance Storage System (HPSS) with 100 TB Tape library • CPU farm of 128 processors (about 4000 SPECint95) • 3.5 TB Raid Disk , Two Gigabit Ethernet Switches, etc. • A tape drive and a workstation installed at BNL RCF for tape duplication • Software environment for PHENIX computing : established • AFS local mirroring, Linux software environment, LSF etc : ready to use • CC-J operation • CC-J started operation in June 2000. • 40 user’s accounts created so far. • 100 K event simulation (130 GeV/nucleon, Au+Au min. bias) of • (1)retracted geometry, zero filed, (2) standard geometry, zero filed, • (3)full 2D field field, (3) full 3D field,(3) half 3D filed : in progress • Real raw data (2TB) of PHENIX experiment transferred to CC-J via WAN • Large ftp performance (641 KB/s = 5 Mbps) was obtained (RTT = 170 ms) • data analysis by regional users are in progress.

  9. Plan in this year • Hardware upgrade • 6 TB Raid disk, tape drives and cached disks for HPSS • 64 Linux CPU farms, SUN servers for data mining & NFS serving • System development • Data duplicating facility (to be operational) • Objectivity/DB accessing method (to be established) • Simulation production • 100k Au+Au simulations (continuing) • Other simulations to be proposed by PHENIX PWG (spin etc.) • Data Analysis • Official Data Summary Tape (DST) will be produced at RCF soon • DST : transfer to the CC-J via the duplication facility (by tape) • Micro-DST production (data mining ) for data analysis

  12. CC-J Operation • Operation, maintenance and development of CC-J are carried out under the charge of the CC-J Planning and Coordinate Office (PCO).

  13. Summary • The construction of the PHENIX Computing Center in Japan (CC-J) at RIKEN Wako campus, which will extend over a three years period, began in April 1999. • The CC-J is intended as the principal site of computing for PHENIX simulation, a regional PHENIX Asian computing center, and a center for the analysis of RHIC spin Physics. • The CC-J will handle the data of about 220 TB/year and the total CPU performance is planned to be 10k SPECint95 (100k SPECint2000) in 2002. • CPU farm of 128 processors (RH6.1, kernel 2.2.14/16 with nfsv3 ) is stable. • Copy data over WAN: Large ftp performance (641 KB/s = 5 Mbps) was obtained for over the Pacific Ocean (RTT = 170 ms) • The CC-J operation started in June 2000 at 1/3 scale. • 39 user’s account created. • 100K-event simulation project started in September 2000. • Some part of real raw data (about 2 TB) of PHENIX experiment transferred to CC-J via WAN and data analysis by regional users are in progress.
