Making distributed ALICE analysis simple using the GRID plug-in

Not scheduled
Poster Track 1: Computing Technology for Physics Research

Speaker

Description

The presentation will describe an interface within the ALICE analysis framework that allows transparent usage of the experiment's distributed resources. This analysis plug-in makes it possible to configure back-end specific parameters from a single interface and to run with no change the same custom user analysis in many computing environments, from local workstations to PROOF clusters or GRID resources. The tool is used now extensively in the ALICE collaboration for both end-user analysis and large scale productions.
