Description

During the first four months of 2002, the CMS Monte Carlo Production team has produced about 20 TB of data for the preparation of the DAQ TDR [data acquisition technical design report]. It included the simulation of primary proton-proton interactions, secondary interactions in the detector, response of the sensitive elements, pile-up of events, and first-pass analysis. The data was written into Objectivity/DB ODBMS. This was a world-wide production involving more than 30 persons and 20 sites. This seminar presents the full machinery of this successful Monte Carlo production and describes what worked and what didn't. Some first thoughts will also be presented on how to improve the system for the coming major production preceding the 2004 data challenge.
