AMS Computing. MC Production.

• Computer simulation of the detector response is a
  good possibility to study not only detector
  performance, but also to test HW and SW solutions
  that will be used for AMS-02 data processing.
• Distributed trial MC production was started in
  April 2003 (Apr-June, July-October)
• Data are generated in 16 Universities in Asia,
  Europe and USA, transmitted to AMS_at_CERN and
  available for the analysis.
• Transmission, book-keeping, process communication
  programs been debugged and the same programs will
  be used for AMS-02 data handling.

AMS Computing. MC production.

• Local-cern book-keeping Release 1.0 (M.Boschini
  et al)
• Stress-tested in July-August
• Mantained by Milano group

MC production

• To buy the bulk of computing power later to have
  better price/performance ratio
• build system gradually
