Description
The Parallel ROOT Facility, PROOF, allows one to analyze and understand very large
data sets on an interactive time scale. It makes use of the inherent parallelism in
event data and implements an architecture that optimizes I/O and CPU utilization in
heterogeneous clusters with distributed storage. We will present our experiences in
using a very large PROOF cluster in production for the PHOBOS experiment over the
past year.
Several major improvements to the PROOF schedulers (packetizers) driven by our
experiences as well as the requirements of Grid based "multi-master" sessions will be
demonstrated.
