GIOD: what has been achieved so far ?
Characterisation of Object database performance, bottlenecks, scaling and contention as a function of:
- Size (number of objects)
- Number of “clients”
- Location (in memory, on disk, on LAN, on WAN)
- Platform (Unix flavours, WindowsNT)
- Language (C++, Java)
Successful Object database replication tests between CERN and Caltech
Utility of the SMP platform for general purpose HEP computing:
- Large scale Monte Carlo simulation of the CMS Detector (CMSIM)
- Can simulate ~13000 full events/hour on the full system
- Emulation of multiple ODBMS clients
- Program development environment
Modelling tool for simulations of WAN analysis scenarios
