AMS-02 Monte Carlo Production in Science Operation Centre at Southeast University

Abstract

Southeast University (SEU) Science Operation Centre (SOC) is one of the computing centres of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) experiment. It provides 2016 CPU cores for AMS Monte Carlo production and a dedicated ∼1Gbps Long Fat Network (LFN) for AMS data transmission between SEU and CERN. In this paper, the development and deployment of SEU SOC’s automated Monte Carlo production management system is discussed in detail. Data transmission optimizations are further introduced in order to speed up the data transfer in LFN between SEU SOC and CERN. In addition, monitoring tool for SEU SOC’s Monte Carlo production is also presented.
