The goal of the tests:

The goal of this tests is to run a full analisys like the one done for the CSC notes for Higgs to 4l using proof.
Find out the possible optimized hardware and software solutions a PROOF pool.

• We will get a better understanding of the scalability of Proof Sessions with respect of various complexities of analysis code,
  including a full analysis for 4 leptons.

• We will get a better understanding of the PROOF performance with single disk and RAID system.

• We will get a better understanding of the performance for each Packetizer under different test environment. (I/O intensive or CPU intensive.)

• The system optimization for multiple users access.

Testbeds:

Main pool
64bit SLC4.5
1 Redirector - 80 workers
4xAMD 2.0GHz cores, 4GB DDR memory, 1x70GB

Old Beds:

Pool A
1 Redirector + 2 computers
4xAMD 2.0GHz cores, 4GB DDR memory, 1x70GB
Default we have 8 workers running on each node

Pool B
1 Redirector + 2 computers
8 x Intel 2.66GHz cores, 8GB memory, 8x750GB on RAID 5
Default we have 8 workers running on each node, mainly for high performance tests.

Data Files
 

We mainly use following data files to do the performance tests.
