Notes from data flow workshop

Copyright @ 2009 MICEThis document summarises the discussions at the MICE Data Flow Workshop held at Brunel University on 30th June 2009. Background information about job submission and file storage on the Grid can be found in previous MICE Notes and the references therein. In particular the first two sections of Note 247 are meant to provide a gentle introduction to Grid data storage from the MICE perspective, and timid MICE may wish to read those first. The proposed data flow is described in MICE Note 252

Draft grid storage namespace guidelines

The Grid can provide MICE not only with computing (number-crunching) power, but also with a secure global framework allowing users access to data. Although the focus is usually on the mass of experiment data, the Grid also opens up new possibilities for the storage and sharing of other material within the collaboration. This document provides an introduction to data storage on the Grid and describes the proposal for the directory structures to be used by MICE when registering data files stored on the Grid within a File Catalogue such as LFC

RFC: Data flow from the MICE experiment

This article can be accessed at the link below.This document sketches out the flow of data from the MICE experiment, as I currently understand it. This includes not only illustrating the structure of the data flow, but also setting out a consistent vocabulary with which to describe it. Many aspects of this data flow are either misunderstood by me, currently undecided, not yet implemented, or simply have never been considered before; so feedback is both welcomed and essential. Background information about job submission and file storage on the Grid can be found in previous MICE Notes and the references therein. In particular the first two sections of Note 247 are meant to provide a gentle introduction to Grid data storage from the MICE perspective, and timid MICE may wish to read those first

The online buffer

Copyright @ 2009 MICEThis is a discussion document regarding the proposed use of the Online Buffer. The Online Buffer is used to store locally the RAW data files created by the Event Builder, before they are uploaded to Castor by the data mover. The files may also be used by the online monitoring and reconstruction activities. At the Trigger-DAQ-Controls Review, the reviewers warned that this three-way activity might saturate the disks, and also that the file uploads to the Grid could conflict with the writing of DAQ data. It was proposed to ameliorate this by splitting the buffer into a set of independent volumes into which the DAQ data would be written on a round-robin basis; outgoing files would meanwhile be read only from one of the other volumes. Further, files being uploaded to the Grid would be staged on the transfer box’ system disk, as the (local) staging process is expected to be more deterministic and easier to control than transfers across the WAN

Blogging the 2006 FIFA World Cup Finals

This study focuses on the use of new technologies by the sports-media complex, looking specifically at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Finals. Combining the world's single largest sports media event with one of the most current, complex forms of Web-based communication, this article explores extent to which football fans embedded in Germany used the Internet to blog their World Cup experiences. Various categories of blog sites were identified, including independent bloggers, bloggers using football-themed Web sites, and blogs hosted on corporate-sponsored platforms. The study shows that the anticipated "democratizing potential" of blogging was not evident during Germany 2006. Instead, blogging acted as a platform for corporations, which, employing professional journalists, told the fans' World Cup stories. © 2009 Human Kinetics, inc

Milk quality and cheese diversification

peer-reviewedAbolition of EU milk quotas in 2015 is projected to result in a 2.75 billion litre increase in Irish milk production by 2020. Although cheese offers vital market opportunities for this increased milk production, traditional cheese markets such as Cheddar, are predicted to grow more slowly than for other semi-soft and semi-hard cheese types. Innovation is now focused on achieving greater diversity in cheese types manufactured on Irish commercial plants and on development of new products with specific properties for target markets. This innovation is best illustrated by the current Teagasc – Irish Dairy Board collaboration. This review considers the relative influence of milk quality on diversification of the portfolio of cheeses manufactured from a seasonally-produced Irish milk supply with particular reference to milk microbial profile and to milk enzyme complement for the manufacture and ripening of non-Cheddar cheese varieties
