Description
This workshop is part of the 2005 NSS-IEEE conference. Everyone is welcome.
To connect dial +1-510-6424605. Workshop starts at 10.20 Atlantic Time (16.20 CERN time) and should finish promptly at noon.
The goal of the workshop is to discuss informally the readiness of the four LHC experiment software and Computing systems. From the conference program:
Computing for the LHC: Crunch Time!
On July 2007 hundreds of MB/s of raw data will start flowing from the
four experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Thousands of
physicists will start sifting through multi-Petabyte data stores looking
for the Higgs boson and for evidence of new physics. In this workshop we
will try to assess how ready are the four experiments computing and
software systems to support them.
- Is the new Object-Oriented simulation, reconstruction and analysis
software ready? Do physicists find the new software usable? Can the
software be used to understand and debug the detector while it is being
build?
- How successful has the model of shared software development been? Is
the effort put in common projects like CLHEP, Geant 4, ROOT/SEAL, Gaudi,
or POOL paying off?
- Will the new GRID-centric distributed computing systems be deployed in
time? How are the assumptions in the experiments computing models being
tested? Are there contingency plans if they turn out to be too
optimistic?
