  2. UK Tier 2 Centres? • Liverpool MAP/COMPASS (LHCb/ATLAS) • Funded by Joint Research Equipment Initiative (JREI) 1998. • 300 PCs (400MHz,PII) and 3*1TB disk nodes. • Operational since December 1999. • Prototype Scottish Computing Centre (LHCb/ATLAS) • Bid to Joint Research Equipment Initiative (JREI) May 2000. Outcome known in ~ December. • MC prod.facility (128 cpus+1TB RAID) at Glasgow. • 5TB RAID disk array + server at Edinburgh.

  3. Other Initiatives Long Term Science Review (PPARC) • LHC computing/Grid identified as priority. • Government Spending Review - indication in July, details known in October/November? EU Data Grid Proposal • UK (PPARC) is one of the lead partners. • IBM(UK) is industrial partner. • Committees and “teams” evolving. • Preliminary answer in July?
