COMPASS probes proton substructure with high-energy negative pion and polarized muon beams at CERN. These measurements provide unique access to the momentum and coordinate phase space of quarks in the proton. Over four years, the measurement campaign at CERN will produce more than 17 petabytes of raw data, Monte Carlo data and reduced mini-Data Summary Trees (mDSTs). With our allocation we will evaluate the performance of COMPASS software for data and Monte Carlo production at Blue Waters. We also will evaluate the possibility of performing COMPASS physics data analysis using the mDST output from the data and Monte Carlo production.
