Creating a content delivery network for general science on the internet backbone using XCaches
A general problem faced by computing on the grid for opportunistic users is
that delivering cycles is simpler than delivering data to those cycles. In this
project we show how we integrated XRootD caches placed on the internet backbone
to implement a content delivery network for general science workflows. We will
show that for some workflows on different science domains like high energy
physics, gravitational waves, and others the combination of data reuse from the
workflows together with the use of caches increases CPU efficiency while
decreasing network bandwidth use
