HEP @ Home -基于BOINC的分布式计算系统

HEP@Home - A distributed computing system based on BOINC

Antonio Amorim, Jaime Villate, Pedro Andrade

摘要:

在过去的几年里,SETI@HOME项目被证明是分布式计算最大的成功之一。SETI通过一种非常简单的方法,利用大量分布式计算机处理大量数据。为了扩展这种分布式计算工具的通用性,BOINC正在开发中。在本文中,我们提出了HEP@HOME,一个BOINC版本的高能物理(HEP)社区的特定要求量身定制。HEP@HOME将能够使用几乎无限的计算能力处理大量数据,就像BOINC一样,它应该能够根据HEP规范工作。在HEP中,要分析或重建的数据量是至关重要的。因此,该工具的设计原则之一是避免数据传输。这将使科学家能够运行他们的分析应用程序,并利用大量的CPU。该工具还满足了HEP中的其他重要要求,即安全性、容错性和监控。

英文摘要:

Project SETI@HOME has proven to be one of the biggest successes of distributed computing during the last years. With a quite simple approach SETI manages to process large volumes of data using a vast amount of distributed computer power. To extend the generic usage of this kind of distributed computing tools, BOINC is being developed. In this paper we propose HEP@HOME, a BOINC version tailored to the specific requirements of the High Energy Physics (HEP) community. The HEP@HOME will be able to process large amounts of data using virtually unlimited computing power, as BOINC does, and it should be able to work according to HEP specifications. In HEP the amounts of data to be analyzed or reconstructed are of central importance. Therefore, one of the design principles of this tool is to avoid data transfer. This will allow scientists to run their analysis applications and taking advantage of a large number of CPUs. This tool also satisfies other important requirements in HEP, namely, security, fault-tolerance and monitoring.
