Storage Techniques for Rhic Accelerator Data
Year: 2005
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: During Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) operations, approximately ten gigabytes of data are stored each day to document beam characteristics and performance of accelerator systems. A data organization model has been chosen that reflects the natural grouping of data by RHIC machine cycles. Software tools built on this model simplify navigation through the data. Migration of older data to inexpensive file storage systems provides a cost effective way of keeping many years of past data online for analysis. Specialized system administration procedures provide efficient and reliable tape backups. This paper describes the organization of RHIC accelerator data and the techniques developed to manage this data.
