Description
The PHENIX collaboration records large volumes of data for each
experimental run (now about 1/4 PB/year). Efficient and timely
analysis of this data can benefit from a framework for distributed
analysis via a growing number of remote computing facilities in the
collaboration. The grid architecture has been, or is being deployed
at most of these facilities.
The experience being obtained in the transition to the Grid
infrastructure with minimum of manpower is presented with particular
emphasis on job monitoring and job submission in multi cluster
environment. The integration of the existing subsystems
(from Globus project, from several HEP collaborations), large
application libraries, and other software tools to render the
resulting architecture stable, robust, and useful for the end user is
also discussed.
