This work started in the context of NSLS2 project at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The NSLS2 control system foresees a very high number of PV variables and has strict requirements in terms of archiving/retrieving rate: our goal was to store 10K PV/sec and retrieve 4K PV/sec for a group of 4 signals. The HyperArchiver is an EPICS Archiver implementation engined by Hypertable, an open source database whose internal architecture is derived from Google's Big Table. We discuss the performance of HyperArchiver and present the results of some comparative tests.

Distributed System and Network Performance Monitoring

A robust and reliable network and system infrastructure is vital for successful operations at the NSLS-II (National Synchrotron Light Source). A key component is a monitoring solution that can provide system information in real-time for fault-detection and problem isolation. Furthermore, this information must be archived for historical trending and post-mortem analysis. With 200+ network switches and dozens of servers comprising our control system, what tools should be selected to monitor system vitals, visualize network utilization, and parse copious Syslog files? How can we track latency on a large network and decompose traffic flows to better optimize configuration? This work will examine both open-source and proprietary tools utilized in the controls group for distributed monitoring such as Splunk, Nagios, SNMP, sFlow, Brocade Network Advisor, and the perfSONAR Performance Toolkit. We will also describe how these elements are integrated into a cohesive platform.
