Introduction

This page briefly explains what the ATLAS computing model is, what facilities are avaliable at RAL and how ATLAS users can access them.

The ATLAS computing Model

The RAW data is produced by ATLAS at CERN, this is referred to as the Tier 0. The data is archived at CERN before being distributed to the Tier 1s. There are 10 Tier 1s serving ATLAS. RAL is the UK Tier 1 and is expected to recieve 10% of the raw data from CERN. Each Tier 1 has several Tier 2 sites asscoiated with it. The job of the Tier 1 is to re-process and distribute the data around the Tier 2s. The job of the Tier 2s is to run user analysis on the data. Finally there are so called Tier 3 sites. These sites do not hold any official copies of ATLAS data but individuals can copy data to them in order to run their own analysis.

  The full list of the space tokens available on the grid can be found at Tiers of ATLAS

Tier 2

As well as the Tier 1 there is a Tier 2 cluster also based at RAL however it is in a different building from the Tier 1 and run by different people.

RALPP_MCDISK default  
RALPP_DATADISK default  
RALPP_HOTDISK default Used to store an extra copy of "hot" data
RALPP_PRODDISK default  
RALPP_SCRATCHDISK default + everyone get write permission Deleted after 28 days
RALPP_SOFT-TEST default + soft-test users get write and delete permission  
RALPP_LOCALGROUPDISK default + UK users get write permission  

The default permissions is read and write for production and read permission for poweruser0 and normal users.

Local Cluster / Tier 3

The Tier 3 is actually part of the Tier 2 that has been reserved for use by RAL staff.

*The initial allowance is 2MB but this is a soft cap and will be removed if you send an email to Chris Brew.

As well as access to local disk space RAL users will also have access to the space tokens avaliable on the Tier 2.
