Description
During 2006-07, the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider launched a massive
Monte Carlo simulation production exercise to commission software and computing
systems in preparation for data in 2007. In this talk, we will describe the goals and
objectives of this exercise, the software systems used, and the tiered computing
infrastructure deployed worldwide. More than half a petabyte of data was generated at
more than 50 different sites. The results of this year-long exercise will be
summarized, with special emphasis on the lessons learned from an international
distributed computing exercise of unprecedented size and scope.
