Performance quality monitoring system for the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment started running on September 23, 2011. The Performance Quality Monitoring system (PQM) has been developed to monitor the detector performance and data quality. The main feature is its ability to efficiently process multi-data-stream from three experimental halls. The PQM processes raw data files from the Daya Bay data acquisition system, generates and publishes histograms via a graphical web interface by executing the user-defined algorithm modules, and saves the histograms for permanent storage. That the whole process takes only around 40 minutes makes it valuable for the shift crew to monitor the running status of all the sub-detectors and the data quality.
