GRID IIII D UK Particle Physics Tony Doyle - University of Glasgow Major Deliverables  Prototype IMar 2002  Performance and scalability testing of components of the computing fabric (clusters, disk storage, mass storage system, system installation, system monitoring) using straightforward physics applications. Testing of the job scheduling and data replication software from the first DataGrid release (M9).  Prototype IIMar 2003  Prototyping of the integrated local computing fabric, with emphasis on scaling, reliability and resilience to errors. Performance testing of LHC applications. Distributed HEP and other science application models using the second DataGrid release (M21).  Prototype IIIMar 2004  Full scale testing of the LHC computing model with fabric management and Grid management software for Tier-0 and Tier-1 centres, with some Tier-2 components. This will use the software from the final DataGrid release (M33). M9 important: working demonstrators (public spending review) need to ensure key areas are visible
