Description
The Swiss ATLAS Computing prototype consists of clusters of PCs located at the
universities of Bern and Geneva (Tier 3) and at the Swiss National Supercomputing
Centre (CSCS) in Manno (Tier 2). In terms of software, the prototype includes ATLAS
off-line releases as well as middleware for running the ATLAS off-line in a
distributed way. Both batch and interactive use cases are supported. The batch use
case is covered by a country wide batch system, the interactive use case is covered
by a parallel execution system running on single clusters. The prototype serves the
dual purpose of providing resources to the ATLAS production system and providing
Swiss researchers with resources for individual studies of both simulated data and
data from the ATLAS test beam. In this article the solutions used for achieving this
are presented. Initial experience with the system is also described.
