Key Points
Introduction
- Simulation campaigns run on a regular (monthly) basis
- Input requests must be formatted in a specific way and meet certain pre-requisites
- Rucio is the primary way to browse and access simulated EIC/ePIC data
Rucio Usage
- Rucio works with datasets and Data Identifiers (DIDs)
- ePIC DIDs may look or be formatted like a nested filepath, but they are flat
- Tags can be used to quickly sort and find data of interest
- Once you find the file location with Rucio, you can use xrootd to download or stream it too
Use Cases
- Files from datasets can be directly streamed in analysis scripts
- Files (or whole datasets) can be downloaded locally, but this is usually not needed
