The Belle Collaboration 13 countries, institutes, ~400 members 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)8 Collaborating institutions Collaborators Major labs/universities from Russia, China, India Major universities from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia Universities from US and Europe KEK dominates in one sense 30~40 staffs work on Belle exclusively Most of construction and operating costs are paid by KEK Universities dominates in another sense Young students to stay at KEK, help operations, do physics analysis Human resource issue Always lacking man power Software 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)10 Core Software OS/C++ Solaris 7 on sparc and RedHat 6/7/9 on PCs gcc /3.0.4/3.2.2/3.3 (code compiles with SunCC) No commercial software except for batch queuing system and hierarchical storage management system QQ, EvtGen, GEANT3, CERNLIB (2001/2003), CLHEP(~1.5), postgres 7 Legacy FORTRAN code GSIM/GEANT3/ and old calibration/reconstruction code) I/O:home-grown stream IO package + zlib The only data format for all stages (from DAQ to final user analysis skim files) Index file (pointer to events in data files) are used for final physics analysis 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)11 Framework (BASF) Event parallelism on SMP (1995~) Using fork (for legacy Fortran common blocks) Event parallelism on multi-compute servers (dbasf, 2001~, V2, 2004) Users code/reconstruction code are dynamically loaded The only framework for all processing stages (from DAQ to final analysis) 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)12 Data access methods The original design of our framework, BASF, allowed to have an appropriate IO package loaded at run time Our (single) IO package grew to handle more and more possible ways of IOs (disk, tape, etc.) and was extended to deal with special situations and became spaghetti-ball like code This summer we were faced again to extend it to handle new HSM and for tests with new software We finally rewrote our big IO package into small pieces, making it possible to simply add one derived class for one IO method Basf_io class Basf_io_diskBasf_io_tapeBasf_io_zfservBasf_io_srb derived classes IO objects are dynamically loaded upon request 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)13 Reconstruction software 30~40 people have contributed in the last several years For many parts of reconstruction software, we only have one package. Very little competition Good and bad Identify weak points and ask someone to improve them Mostly organized within the sub detector groups Physics motivated, though Systematic effort to improve tracking software but very slow progress For example, 1 year to get down tracking systematic error from 2% to less than 1% Small Z bias for either forward/backward or positive/negative charged tracks When the problem is solved we will reprocess all data again 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)14 Analysis software Several ~ tens of people have contributed Kinematical and vertex fitter Flavor tagging Vertexing Particle ID (Likelihood) Event shape Likelihood/Fisher analysis People tend to use standard packages but System is not well organized/documented Have started a task force (consisting of young Belle members) 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)15 Postgresql database system The only database system Belle uses other than simple UNIX files and directories A few years ago, we were afraid that nobody uses postgresql but it seems postgresql is now widely used and well maintained One master, several copies at KEK, many copies at institutions/on personal PCs ~120,000 records (4.3GB on disk) IP (Interaction point) profile is the largest/most popular It is working quite well although consistency among many database copies is the problem 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)16 BelleG4 for (Super) Belle We have also started (finally) building Geant4 version of the Belle detector simulation program Our plan is to build the Super Belle detector simulation code first, then write reconstruction code We hope to increase number of people who can write Geant4 code in Belle and in one year or so, we can write Belle G4 simulation code and compare G4, G3 and real data Some of the detector code is in F77 and we must rewrite them Computing 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)18 Computing Equipment budgets Rental system Four five year contract (20% budget reduction!)

DTF drives was canceled SONY s new mass storage system will use SAIT drive technology (Metal tape, helical scan) We decided to test it Purchased a 500TB tape library and installed it as the backend (HSM) using newly acquired inexpensive IDE based RAID systems and PC file servers We are moving from direct tape access to hierarchical storage system We have learned that automatic file migration is quite convenient But we need a lot of capacity so that we do not need operators to mount tapes 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)26 Compact, inexpensive HSM The front-end disk system consists of 8 dual Xeon PC servers with two SCSI channels Each connecting one GB IDE disk RAID system Total capacity is 56TB (1.75TB(6+1+S) 2 2 8) The back-end tape system consists of SONY SAIT Petasite tape library system in three rack wide space; main system (four drives) + two cassette consoles with total capacity of 500 TB (1000 tapes) They are connected by a 16 port 2Gbit FC switch Installed in Nov. 2003~Feb and is working well We keep all new data on this system Lots of disk failures (even power failures) but system is surviving Please see my poster 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)27 PetaServe: HSM software Commercial software from SONY We have been using it since 1999 on Solaris It now runs on Linux (RH7.3 based) It used Data Management API of XFS developed by SGI When the drive and the file server is connected via FC switch, the data on disk can directly be written to tape Minimum size for migration and the size of which the first part of the file remains on disk can be set by users The backup system, PetaBack, works intelligently with PetaServe; In particular, in the next version, if the file has been shadowed (one copy on tape, one copy on disk), it will not be backed up, saving space and time So far, it s working extremely well but Files must be distributed by ourselves among disk partitions (now 32, in three months many more as there is 2TB limit ) Disk is a file system and not cache HSM disk can not make an effective scratch disk There is a mechanism to do nightly garbage collection if the users delete files by themselves 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)28 Extending the HSM system The front-end disk system will include ten more dual Xeon PC servers with two SCSI channels Each connecting one GB RAID system Total capacity is 150TB (1.7TB(6+1+S) 2 2 8) +(2.4TB(6+1+S) 2 2 10) The back-end tape system will include Four more cassette consoles and eight more drives; total capacity is 1.29 PB (2500 tapes) 32 port 2Gbit FC switch will be added (32+16 inter connected with 4 ports) Belle hopes to migrate all DTF2 data into this library by the end of TB/day!

When a new release of the library comes, we try to produce new generic MC sample For every real data taking run, we try to generate 3 times as many events as in the real run, taking Run dependence Detector background are taken from random trigger events of the run being simulated into account At KEK, if we use all CPUs we can keep up with the raw data taking ( 3) MC production We ask remote institutions to generate most of MC events We have generated more than 2 10 9 events so far using qq 100TB for 3 300 fb of real data Would like to keep on disk M events produced since Apr. 2004 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)40 Random number generator Pseudo random number can be difficult to manage when we must generate billions of events in many hundred thousands of jobs. (Each event consumes about one thousand random numbers in one mille second. Encoding the daytime as the seed may be one solution but there is always a danger that one sequence is the same as another We tested a random generator board using thermal noises. The board can generate up to 8M real random numbers in one second We will have random number servers on several PC servers so that we can run many event generator jobs in parallel Network/data transfer 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)42 Networks and data transfer KEKB computer system has a fast internal network for NFS We have added Belle bought PCs, now more than 500 PCs and file servers We have connected Super- SINET dedicated 1Gbps lines to four universities We have also requested that we connect this network to outside KEK for tests of Grid computing Finally, a new Cisco 6509 has been added to separate the above three networks A firewall and login servers make the data transfer miserable (100Mbps max.) DAT tapes to copy compressed hadron files and MC generated by outside institutions Dedicated GbE network to a few institutions are now being added Total 10Gbit to/from KEK being added Still slow network to most of collaborators 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)43 Data transfer to universities KEK Computing Research centor Osaka U Nagoya U 1TB/day ~100Mbps ~ 1TB/day 400 GB/day ~45 Mbps 170 GB/day NFS e + e - B o B o Tohoku U 10Gbps Tsukuba Hall Belle We use Super-SINET, APAN and other international Academic networks as the back bone of the experiment U of Tokyo TIT Australia U.S. Korea Tiwan Erc. 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)44 Grid Plan for Belle Belle hasn t made commitment to Grid technology (We hope to learn more here) has not but institutions might have been involved, in particular, when they are also involved in one of the LHC experiments Parallel/distributed computing aspect Nice but we do have our own solution Event (trivial) parallelism works However, as we accumulate more data, we hope to have more parallelism (several tens to hundreds to thousands of CPUs) Thus we may adopt a standard solution Parallel/distributed file system Yes we need something better than many UNIX files on many nodes For each run we create ~1000 files; we have had O(10,000) runs so far Collaboration wide issues WAN aspect Network connections are quite different from one institution to another authentication We use DCE to login We are testing VPN with OTP CA based system would be nice resource management issues We want submit jobs to remote institutions if CPU is available 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)45 Belle s attempts We have separated stream IO package so that we can connect to any of (Grid) file management packages We started working with remote institutions (Australia, Tohoku, Taiwan, Korea) See our presentation by G.

Is there a relationship between quark and neutrino mixing matrices? We know that Standard Model (incl. Kobayashi- Maskawa mechanism) is the effective low energy description of Nature. However most likely New Physics lies in O(1) TeV region. LHC will start within a few years and (hopefully) discover new elementary particles. Flavor-Changing-Neutral-Currents (FCNC) suppressed New Physics w/o suppression mechanism excluded up to 10 3 TeV. New Physics Flavor Problem Different mechanism different flavor structure in B decays (tau, charm as well) Luminosity upgrade will be quite effective and essential. 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)49 Roadmap of B physics Discovery of CPV in B decays Precise test of SM and search for NP Study of NP effect in B and decays Identification of SUSY breaking mechanism time or integrated luminosity Yes!! 2001 sin2 1, CPV in B , 3, V ub, V cb, b s , b s ll, new states etc. Anomalous CPV in b sss NP discovered at LHC (2010?)

It has been left to the developers to check the new version of the code. We are now trying to establish a procedure to compare against old versions All data are reprocessed/All generic MC are regenerated with a new major release of the software (at most once per year, though) Reprocess all data before summer conferences In April, we have a version with improved reconstruction software Do reconstruction of all data in three months Tune for physics analysis and MC production Final version before October for physics publications using this version of data Takes about 6 months to generate generic MC samples Library cycle (2002~2004) 0416 0424 0703 1003 (SVD1) (+) (SVD2) Overview Main changes Based on the RFARM Adapted to off-line production Dedicated database server Input from tape Output to HSM Stable, light, fast Input bcs03 Tape Master basf Output bcs202 basf zfserv Typical DBASF cluster Overview CPU power 34% 15% 51% 1.26 2004/09/27Nobu Katayama(KEK)62 Belle PC farms Have added as we take data 99/06:16 4CPU 500MHz Pen III 00/04:20 4CPU 550MHz Pen III 00/10:20 2CPU 800MHz Pen III 00/10:20 2CPU 933MHz Pen III 01/03:60 4CPU 700MHz Pen III 02/01:127 2CPU 1.26GHz Pen III 02/04:40 700MHz mobile Pen III 02/12:113 2CPU Athlon 03/03:84 2CPU 2.8GHz Xeon 04/03:120 2CPU 3.2GHz Xeon 04/11:150 2CPU 3.4GHz Xeon(800) We are barely catching up We must get a few to 20 TFLOPS in coming years as we take more data Computing resources Int.
