Description | This grant funds a programme to develop and operate High Performance Computing for the simulation and analysis of data related to the particle physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This is achieved via a world-wide distributed network of dedicated computer clusters with large data stores, powerful number-crunching capacity and high-bandwidth for data transfer. The Large Hadron Collider experiments are science facilities that are producing vast amounts of new measurements and discoveries, including the discovery of the Higgs particle - announced in 2012 - that endows other elementary particles with non-zero mass. |
Exploitation Route | The findings from this grant include the development of a highly successful model of computing to analyse very large distributed data sets ("big data"), with applications going well beyond particle physics. |

PI Contribution | Direct contribution by GridPP3-funded 0.5 fte post at RHUL, to the operation of the RHUL GridPP node, and to the operation of the LondonGrid system as well. The RHUL-based GridPP team has also regularly (on average every 3 years since 2002) secured external funding to purchase very significant High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources to upgrade the GridPP cluster at RHUL. |
Collaborator Contribution | As for IC, above. |
Impact | The major impact of this collaboration has been the long-term effective operation of the LondonGrid Tier-2 system at sustained high levels of performance (efficiency, availability), thus delivering a significant data-processing resource to the community of GridPP users. |
