EIC Tutorial: File Access: Glossary

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

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
