MC Request for BES

Time and disk footprint estimates for the BES request.  Spreadsheet is attached.

Time
       
starsim:   646.85 CPU wk
bfchain:   3389.29 CPU wk
total:   4036.13 CPU wk
       
Footprint:
       
(1) Everything   30.48 TB
(2) Smallest   7.11 TB
+McEvent   6.19 TB
+MuDst   0.92 TB

  1. Request is larger than the available resources: ~1TB and 1 CPU wk.
  2. We cannot store "everything" on disk. Can the requestors make do with just the MuDst and McEvent files? geant.root would nearly double the size, and the fzd files will need to be sent straight to HPSS (or perhaps not even saved).
  3. Even then the request is too large.
  4. Proposal: reduce request by factor of 1/4. This yields:
    • ~0.25 M at 39 GeV / ~0.4 M at 11.5 GeV / ~1.0 M at 7.7 GeV
    • Time is approx 1 CPU wk
    • Footprint is about 1.75 TB.
