Abstract:

[Objective] In recent years, significant changes have occurred in the scale of high-energy physics Grid data and user requirements, necessitating research and the application of emerging Grid data management technologies to adapt to changing demands. [Methods] Based on the novel Grid data management system Rucio, and leveraging its characteristics of high scalability, modularity, and extensibility, the functionalities of distributed data recovery and adaptive data replication are utilized to design Grid data management solutions tailored to the experimental requirements of several China-led international collaborative experiments. [Results] Multiple functions are realized, including uniform naming of distributed data, basic management functions for data creation, modification, retrieval, and deletion, multi-site data replica management, original data distribution management, and embedding of interfaces for experiment software data management. Various tests and applications are conducted in different stages. [Conclusions] This study explores the design and development of Grid data management solutions for China-led international collaborative high-energy physics experiments. Future research can further delve into Grid architecture to achieve universal standard Grid data management solutions.
