ATLAS I/O performance optimization in as-deployed environments. Issue 4 (December 2015) - Maier, T
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of an integrated program of work underway within the ATLAS experiment to optimise I/O performance for large-scale physics data analysis in a range of deployment environments. It proceeds to examine in greater detail one component of that work, the tuning of job-level I/O parameters in response to changes to the ATLAS event data model, and considers the implications of such tuning for a number of measures of I/O performance.
