Kurzfassung

In this paper we will review the ATLAS Monte Carlo production setup including the different production steps involved in full and fast detector simulation. A report on the Monte Carlo production campaigns during Run 1 and Long Shutdown 1 will be presented, including details on various performance aspects. Important improvements in the work flow and software will be highlighted. Besides standard Monte Carlo production for data analyses at 7 and 8 TeV, the production accommodates various specialised activities. These range from extended Monte Carlo validation, Geant4 validation, pile-up simulation using zero bias data and production for various upgrade studies. The challenges of these activities will be discussed.
