Belle II grid computing : An overview of the distributed data management system.

ORAL

Abstract

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider in Tsukuba, Japan, will start physics data taking in 2018 and will accumulate 50/ab of e$+$e- collision data, about 50 times larger than the data set of the Belle experiment. The computing requirements of Belle II are comparable to those of a Run I LHC experiment. Computing at this scale requires efficient use of the compute grids in North America, Asia and Europe and will take advantage of upgrades to the high-speed global network. We present the architecture of data flow and data handling as a part of the Belle II computing infrastructure.
