New distributed offline processing scheme at Belle

Abstract

The offline processing of the data collected by the Belle detector has been recently upgraded to cope with the excellent performance of the KEKB accelerator. The 127/fb of data (120 TB on tape) collected between autumn 2003 and summer 2004 has been processed in 2 months, thanks to the high speed and stability of the new, distributed processing scheme. We present here this new processing scheme and its performance.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figures, uses CHEP2004.cl
