LHC Computing Review Recommendations J. Harvey 7 th LHCb Software Week 28 March 2001 Slide 2 Major conclusions and recommendations 1 mScale of resource requirements assessed and accepted mMulti-tier hierarchical model + Grid endorsed  Expected ~1/3 at CERN mNeed affordable research 1.5 Gbps for each experiment by 2006 mJoint software efforts encouraged between experiments and IT mData challenges encouraged to test infrastructure and software mAreas of concern in software (support of simulation & analysis) mMissing manpower for Core Software teams, CERN/IT

LHC Computing Review Recommendations J. Harvey 7 th LHCb Software Week 28 March 2001 Slide 3 Major conclusions and recommendations 2 mTotal hardware costs (240 MCHF, LHCb ~27 MCHF i.e. ~11%)  Investment spread over ’05, ’06, ’07 in approx. equal portions  M&O – rolling replacement every 3 years mJoint prototype reaching ~50% of 1 facility for ’03/’04 mLHC Software & Computing Steering Committee (SC2)+TAGs to oversee deployment of entire computing structure mMoU describing funding of and responsibility for hardware and software mInterim MoU to be signed prior to MoU (software, prototype)
