GIOD - Summary
LHC Computing models specify
- Massive quantities of raw, reconstructed and analysis data in ODBMS
- Distributed data analysis at CERN, Regional Centres and Institutes
- Location transparency for the end user
GIOD is investigating
- Usability, scalability, portability of Object Oriented LHC codes
- In a hierarchy of large-servers, and medium/small client machines
- With fast LAN and WAN connections
- Using realistic raw and reconstructed LHC event data
GIOD has
- Constructed a large set of fully simulated events and used these to create a large OO database
- Learned how to create large database federations
- Developed prototype reconstruction and analysis codes that work with persistent objects
- Deployed facilities and database federations as useful testbeds for Computing Model studies
