Data Challenges

Atlas is engaged in a series of large scale Monte Carlo exercises where we generate, simulate, reconstruct and analyse increasingly large volumes of data. These exercises both support the physics, trigger and detector design activites, but are also an important testbench for our software and computing model.

Atlas Data Challenges have regular weekly meetings (sometimes joined DC and Grid meetings)

Areas of Inquiry

Computing Resources
Networks from DAQ to primary storage
Databases
Grid Interfaces
Computing Farms
Distributed Analysis
Distributed Production
Alignment & Calibration Procedures
Modelling the model
Tests of Computing Model
Minimal services.
Implications on ATLAS software

Relevant documents and links

Estimates of the resources needed at startup.
