High Throughput Computing in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
Juan Carlos Díaz Vélez UW-Madison The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a kilometer-scale detector currently under construction at the South Pole. When completed, the detector will consist of a minimum of 4200 optical modules deployed on 70 vertical strings buried 1450 to 2450 meters under the surface of the ice. IceCube simulation and analysis demand a lot of computation resources and a high degree of coordination. IceCube is a collaborative effort between multiple research institutions with a heterogeneous collection of computing resources that are difficult to integrate into a common grid environment. IceProd is an in-house software package written in Python/MySQL and used for cataloging, managing and monitoring of Monte Carlo production and processing of IceCube detector data after it arrives in the northern hemisphere. IceProd was designed to provide a direct interface between various grid tools and the IceCube software framework and to facilitate coordination of computing resources within the IceCube collaboration.
