Description

A file caching setup to access ATLAS data was deployed for the NEMO HPC cluster in Freiburg, using
an XRootD proxy server running in forwarding mode. This setup allows running HEP workflows without
the need to operate a large local data storage. Several performance tests were carried out to measure any
potential overhead caused by the caching setup with respect to direct, non-cached data access.
