> >> The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is
> > designed to perform a high precision investigation of the decays of
> > the B-meson produced from electron-positron interactions. When the
> > experiment starts in April 1999, it will generate approximately
> > 150TB/year of data at a rate of 10MB/sec for 10 years. All of the data
> > will reside in Objectivity databases accessible via the Advanced
> > Mult-threaded Server (AMS). The quantity and rate at which
> > the data is produced requires the use of a high performance hierarchical
> > mass storage system in place of a standard Unix filesystem; with the
> > ability of an application to dynamically control performance aspects
> > of the storage system. Furthermore, the distributed nature of experiment,
> > involving scientists from 80 Institutions in 10 countries, also requires
> > an extended security infrastructure not commonly found in standard
> > Unix filesystems.
> >
> > This presentation describes the motivation and the development
> > of a generalized filesystem interface for the AMS that allows different
> > storage systems, notably the High Performance Storage System (HPSS), to be
> > transparently and securely integrated with the AMS at the user level.
