Monday afternoon: CERN team presentations
- Dave Dykstra (Fermi National Accelerator Lab. (US))
A large fraction of computing workloads in high-energy and nuclear physics is executed using software containers. For physics analysis use, such container images often have sizes of several gigabytes. Executing a large number of such jobs in parallel on different compute nodes efficiently, demands the availability and use of caching mechanisms and image loading techniques to prevent network...
The EP-SFT Stacks team provides LCG software stack nightly builds for 50 different combinations of STACK and PLATFORM.
Historically, the publication of nightlies on CVMFS utilized a single machine, resulting in extended processing times that lasted until the end of the working day. To speed up the publication, and enable the distribution of a larger set of platforms every day, the LCG stack...
