AMUN (Advanced Monte Carlo Under NILE)
is an application of the NILE Control System
being used to generate Monte Carlo data
for the CLEO experiment. The task of MC
generation is divided into many small subtasks
and distributed among a heterogeneous farm
of processors. Individual processors can be
added to or removed from the farm easily,
allowing CLEO collaborators to loan their
CPU power to the AMUN effort when the
machines would otherwise be idle. Using the
aggregated power of between 10 and 50 nodes,
we can generate on the order of 1 million CLEO
II.V tau pair events per day.
