Online Monitoring software framework in the ATLAS experiment

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

A fast, efficient and comprehensive monitoring system is a vital part of any HEP experiment. This paper describes the software framework that will be used during ATLAS data taking to monitor the state of the data acquisition and the quality of physics data in the experiment. The framework has been implemented by the Online Software group of the ATLAS Trigger&Data Acquisition (TDAQ) project and has already been used for several years in the ATLAS test beams at CERN. The inter-process communication in the framework is implemented via CORBA, which provides portability between different operating systems and programming languages. This paper will describe the design and the most important aspects of the online monitoring framework implementation. It will also show some test results, which indicate the performance and scalability of the current implementation.
