The Farm Processing System at CDF

At Fermilab's CDF farm a modular and highly scalable software and control system for processing, reprocessing, Monte Carlo generation and many other tasks has been created. The system is called FPS (Farm Processing System). This system consists of independent software components and allows modifications to suit other types of processing as well. FPS is accompanied with fully featured monitoring and control interfaces, including web statistics displays and a multiplatform Java control interface that allow easy management and control. The system also features automatic error recovery procedures with early warnings that allow smooth running. A general overview of the software design along with a description of the features and limitations of the system and its components will be presented. Run 2 experience with the system will be given as well.
