  1. CERN, the LHC and the Grid First Tuesday @ CERN 27 September 2002 Hans Falk Hoffmann Director of Technology Transfer and Scientific Computing, CERN Hans.Falk.Hoffmann@cern.ch

  2. CERN: where antimatter is made CERN is about fundamental scientific challenges in Particle Physics Front page, September 19, 2002More Sci- Than Fi, Physicists Create Antimatter Physicists working in Europe announced yesterday that theyhad passed through nature's looking glass and had createdatoms made of antimatter, or antiatoms, opening up thepossibility of experiments in a realm once reserved forscience fiction writers. Such experiments, theorists say,could test some of the basic tenets of modern physics andlight the way to a deeper understanding of nature [...] The new research was conducted by physicists at CERN, theparticle physics laboratory outside Geneva.

  3. CERN: where the web was born Fundamental scientific challenges produce disruptive technologies

  4. LHC – the Large Hadron Collider The world’s largest superconducting structure 27 Km of magnetswith a field of 8.4 Tesla Super-fluid Heliumcooled to 1.9°K Two counter-circulating proton beams Collision energy 7 + 7 TeV

  5. CMS – The Compact Muon Solenoid 40 MHz1 PetaByte/sec reduced online – event selection, data compression to a data recording rate of 100 Hz1 PetaByte/year Four LHC Experiments start up – April 2007

  6. CMS ATLAS LHCb The Large Hadron Collider - 4 detectors Requirements for data analysis Storage – Raw recording rate 0.1 – 1 GByte/sec Accumulating data at 5-8 PetaBytes/year (plus copies) 10 PetaBytes of disk Processing – 100,000 of today’s fastest PCs

  7. Problem 1 – Cost Problem 2 – Number of components

  8. CERN's Users and Collaborating Institutes 637 70 4306 22 538 87 55 27 10 Europe: 267 institutes, 4603 usersElsewhere: 208 institutes, 1632 users

  9. CERN's Users and Collaborating Institutes another problem? or a solution? – uniting the computing resources of particle physics Europe: 267 institutes, 4603 usersElsewhere: 208 institutes, 1632 users

  10. LCG: The LHC Computing Grid Project • a geographically distributed computing facility • for a very large user populationofindependently-mindedscientists • with independentownership/management of the different nodes • each with different access and usage policies • and serving multiple user communities

  11. What you would like to see reliable available powerful calm cool easy to use …. and nice to look at
