L. Taylor 2 March CMS Centres Worldwide See paper (attached to agenda) “How to create a CMS My Institute” which addresses the questions:  What is a CMS Centre and how is it used?  What hardware is needed?  What software is needed?  How much does it cost? CMS Centres Worldwide The aim today is to agree on the overall CMS strategy

L. Taylor 2 March CMS Centres Worldwide What is a CMS Centre and how is it used?  What is it? Information and communications focal point in institute with LHC / CMS displays, Web GUIs, video links, and outreach. Facilitates remote participation and harnesses global CMS expertise  How is it used? Sub-detector DQM, calibration, analysis, computing ops, outreach (maybe some remote shifts if running is stable – DQM, computing …)

L. Taylor 2 March CMS Centres Worldwide What hardware is needed?  Large Office (at least 20 sq. m)  Computing consoles Each with 2 Linux PCs, 4 screens, 4 network sockets, 2 kW power  Videoconferencing Main centres have a permanently running high-quality video link -P5 Control Room and CMS CERN, FNAL, DESY Other centres use EVO (cheaper) -Propose to establish permanent EVO meeting rooms for CMS communities  Outreach Large TVs / projectors running e.g. CMS-TV, posters, exhibits …

L. Taylor 2 March CMS Centres Worldwide What software is needed?  CERN Standard Linux Only if you want to run CMSSW, Iguana, Fireworks, etc. locally  Data Quality Monitoring (web app.)  ci2i ("see eye to eye") Web app. Manage displays, groups, users, logins, hardware, operations plans -  “CMS-TV” Web application Bundle many URLs to form live “TV channel” viewable in Web browser -LHC/CMS page 1, DQM, event display - p?channel=1 (F11 for full screen) p?channel=1 Only needs a Web browser

L. Taylor 2 March CMS Centres Worldwide How much does it cost?  E.g. CMS Centre with 2 consoles 14.5 kCHF cheaper if equipment can be re-used (e.g. PCs, screens etc.)  Total cost if all 182 CMS institutes want a new CMS Centre: 2.6 MCHF Cost per Centre ≈ 7.3 kCHF (general costs) kCHF per console  (no. of consoles)

L. Taylor 2 March CMS Centres Worldwide Proposed Strategy 1. Build on the existing grass roots initiatives ~ dozen CMS Centres so far, more foreseen 2. Encourage CMS institutes to create CMS Centres As a local focal point for their CMS work and outreach, and to improve communications with all CMS collaborators. 3. Adopt a franchise business model CMS provides the design based on commodity hardware and Web tools, making it cheap and easy to install / operate Local institute provides the (modest) funds and people 4. Advertise this opportunity next CMS Week New CMS Centres can be ready for data-taking
