Description
To distribute computing for CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) a system managing
local compute and storage resources is needed. For this purpose CDF will use the
DCAF (Decentralized CDF Analysis Farms) system which is already at Fermilab. DCAF
has to work with the data handling system SAM (Sequential Access to data via
Metadata). However, both DCAF and SAM are mature systems which have not yet been
used in combination, and on top of this DCAF has only been installed at Fermilab and
not on local sites. Therefore tests of the systems are necessary to test the
interplay of the data handling with the farms, the behaviour of the off-site DCAFs
and the user friendliness of the whole system. The tests are focussed on the main
tasks of the DCAFs, like Monte Carlo generation and stores, as well as the readout
of data files and connected data handling. To achieve user friendliness the SAM
station environment has to be common to all stations and adaptations to the
environment have to be made.
