Tier 3 Science Data/Network requirements workshop - NJ (East Coast region)

Tuesday 20 Mar 2007, 08:30 → 17:00 US/Central

A10 Jadwin Hall (Princeton University)

Richard Carlson (Internet2)

This is the third in a series of 1 day workshops to develop a common understanding of how university-based physicists will obtain and use LHC data. This workshop will bring together the university-based physicists and the Campus/Regional/Connector/National network providers to develop a common understanding of what is required to meet the science needs. All LHC-related scientists and support staff for whom this conference is convenient in the surrounding area are invited. Video connection provided via VRVS under Internet2 Community and the virtual room MAUI.

08:30 → 08:45 Welcome

Greetings from local hosts

Speakers: Prof. Chris Tully (Princeton University), Mr Vinod Gupta (Princeton University)

08:45 → 09:40 Background on LHC Computing and Networking

Background information describing the LHC ATLAS and CMS computing models

Speaker: Mr Rich Carlson (Internet2)

09:45 → 10:00 break

10:00 → 11:00 Overview of compute resources and usage plans

Attendees will hear from physicists representating the LHC ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS experiments. Presentors will discuss thir institutional , regional, and local computational resources, data storage, and processing facilities. They will also discuss their usage plans for LHC-related Monte Carlo and detector data.

11:00 → 12:00 Overview of network infrastructures

Network operators should give a description of each of the facility infrastructures presently available to transmit and receive LHC-related data

12:00 → 13:00 Lunch

13:00 → 14:00 Technology updates

Attendees will learn about new/emerging technologies that can be used by LHC experimenters

14:00 → 15:00 Regional and local grid projects

Discussion of grid projects that can provide resources to the LHC experimenters.

Speaker: Ruth Pordes (Fermilab)
