Farm Operation

DATA PROCESSING:

Raw data are reconstructed at the DØ central farm at Fermilab. The work horses are 240 AMD 1.8 GHz dual CPU machines. The farm is run by Mike Diesburg and Heidi Schellman. In addition, we are pursuing to use computing resources offsite for reprocessing. The normal production produces DST and TMB outputs.

MONTE CARLO PRODUCTION:

Monte Carlo events are produced on the farms at Amsterdam, Boston University, Lancaster, Lyon, Prague and UTA. The production is coordinated by Iain Bertram and Patrice Lebrun. The normal production produces MC DST (=DST+MCKineChunk+RawDataChunk) and MC TMB (=TMB+MCKineChunk) outputs.
