Introduction to LHC Computing: Perspectives from SLUO Workshop
This session provides insights from the SLUO Workshop on LHC Computing, featuring key presentations from experts. Richard Mount introduces the LHC computing environment, discussing the role of the Western Tier 2 and summarizing the physics analysis perspectives of the SLUO community. Peter Loch shares insights from the University of Arizona, while Bill Lockman discusses the ideal computing environment and SLAC's contributions. The session highlights available resources, including 275 TB of usable disk space and 600 computing cores, as well as ongoing developments in the LHC framework.

LHC Computing SessionIntroduction Richard P. Mount SLUO Workshop - LHC Computing - Introduction
LHC Computing Session • One Slide on the Western Tier 2 • Summary of Physics Analysis Perspectives and Detector Performance Interests of the SLUO Community – Peter Loch, Arizona • University User Perspectives of the Ideal Computing Environment and SLAC's Role – Bill Lockman, UCSC • SLAC's Goals and Its Role in LHC Computing – Richard Mount SLUO Workshop - LHC Computing - Introduction
Western Tier 2 • 275 Usable TB of diskZFS file system; servers run xrootd • 600 cores, RHEL4, 2GB/coreATLAS machines are part of a larger group of machines managed with LSF fairshares. • OSG/ATLAS Grid environment • Interactive access also supported • Mass Storage (tapes) not part of formal role of the Tier 2, but available to WT2 users. • FY09 additions delayed in view of LHC delays SLUO Workshop - LHC Computing - Introduction
