A large Linux-PC farm for online event reconstruction and data management at HERA-B
Andreas Gellrich · AIP conference proceedings · 2001
HERA-B enters a new regime with respect to data rates and volumes in HEP pointing towards the LHC era. The experiment exploits a Linux-PC farm for full online event reconstruction with 200 CPUs which has been in operation in 2000. Conceptual aspects of the Farm and the data handling in HERA-B as well as installation and running experiences after 6 months of full-time operation are presented and discussed.
