The ATLAS EventIndex system comprises the catalogue of all events collected, processed or generated by experiment at CERN LHC accelerator, and associated software tools to collect, store query this information. records several billion particle interactions every year operation, processes them for analysis generates even larger simulated data samples; a global is needed keep track location each event record be able search retrieve specific in-depth investigations. Each includes summary...
The Online Software is the global system software of ATLAS data acquisition (DAQ) system, responsible for configuration, control and information sharing DAQ System. A test beam facility offers detectors possibility to study important performance aspects as well proceed on way final system. Last year, three subdetectors ATLAS-separately combined-were successfully using their datataking. In this paper, we describe different components together with usage at beam.
A fast, efficient and comprehensive monitoring system is a vital part of any HEP experiment. This paper describes the software framework that will be used during ATLAS data taking to monitor state acquisition quality physics in The has been implemented by Online Software group Trigger&Data Acquisition (TDAQ) project already for several years test beams at CERN. inter-process communication via CORBA, which provides portability between different operating systems programming languages....

The unprecedented size and complexity of the ATLAS TDAQ system requires a comprehensive flexible control system. Its role ranges from so-called run- control, e.g. starting stopping data taking, to error handling fault tolerance. It also includes initialization verification overall Following traditional approach hierarchical customizable controllers has been proposed. For final all functionality will be therefore available in distributed manner, with possibility local customization. After...

The ATLAS Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) is a large, distributed system composed of several thousands interconnected computers tens software processes (applications). Applications produce large amount operational messages at the order 104 per second, which need to be reliably stored delivered TDAQ operators in quasi real-time manner, also available for post-mortem analysis by experts.

The ATLAS experiment is preparing a major change in the conditions data infrastructure view of LHC Run 4. In this paper we describe ongoing changes database architecture which have been implemented for 3, and motivations on-going developments deployment new system (called CREST Conditions Representational State Transfer, as reference to REST architectures). main goal set up parallel full scale testing before end 3.
In the ATLAS experiment at LHC, output of readout hardware specific to each subdetector will be transmitted buffers, located on custom made PCI cards ("ROBINs"). The data consist fragments events accepted by first-level trigger a maximum rate 100 kHz. Groups four ROBINs hosted in about 150 read-out subsystem (ROS) PCs.

The ATLAS EventIndex was designed in 2012-2013 to provide a global event catalogue and limited event-level metadata for analysis groups users during the LHC Run 2 (2015-2018). It provides good reliable service initial use cases (mainly picking) several additional ones, such as production consistency checks, duplicate detection measurements of overlaps trigger chains derivation datasets. 3, starting 2021, will see increased data-taking simulation rates, with which current infrastructure would...
Trigger and data acquisition (TDAQ) systems for modern HEP experiments are composed of thousands hardware software components depending on each other in a very complex manner. Typically, such operated by non-expert shift operators, which not aware system functionality details. It is therefore necessary to help the operator control minimize down-time providing knowledge-based facilities automatic testing verification also error diagnostics recovery. For this purpose, diagnostic framework was...

The ATLAS EventIndex provides a global event catalogue and event-level metadata for analysis groups users. LHC Run 3, starting in 2022, will see increased data-taking simulation production rates, with which the current infrastructure would still cope but may be stretched to its limits by end of 3.
