Description | The primary objective of GridPP is to provide the UK share of the computing resources to the World Wide LHC Computing Grid to enable the exploitation of the Physics data generated by the experiments on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. GridPP has built the largest computational grid in the UK which has been extremely successful in meeting our MoU commitments and contributed to the discovery of the HIGGS boson. In addition many other non-LHC and non particle physics Virtual Organizations have made use of approximately 10% of the resources. |
Exploitation Route | GridPP has also been used by many other non-LHC groups (or Virtual Organisations), to provide HTC (High Throughput Computing) that they require. We will continue to encourage and support other non-LHC groups to take advantage of this infrastructure and are developing solutions to make this easier. The resources and infrastructure in place could start to form a 'UK-T0' (UK Tier-0) site to provide HTC compute and storage for a wider community. |

Description | The computing infrastructure developed by the GridPP project has been primarily used by the LHC experimental groups to process and analyse particle physics data. However it has also been used by many non-LHC groups from many scientific areas including Biomed (Avian Flu), Total, CAMONT, Gene analysis (BATS & Dolphins http://www.nature.com/news/convergent-evolution-seen-in-hundreds-of-genes-1.13679 ). Additionally GridPP provided computational resources to the COVID effort at both a local institutional level as well as by allowing Folding@Home workloads to be run on our infrastructure. |

Title | XrdCeph - Xrootd plugin for direct interface to Ceph RADOS object store |
Description | Xrootd servers provide the data transfer infrastructure for much of the WLCG. In order for an Xrootd server to allow access to a Ceph Object Store directly (rather than via a CephFS filesystem on top of such), a plugin needs to be provided to shim requests between Xrootd and the RADOS layer. XrdCeph was previously developed outside of GridPP, but due to its significance to data storage and management @ RAL and Glasgow sites, GridPP took development substantially in house over the period of GridPP6, making significant changes to its design to support varied use cases of our client experiments. As such, XrdCeph is de facto a GridPP software product. |
Type Of Technology | Software |
Year Produced | 2023 |
Open Source License? | Yes |
Impact | Enabling WLCG work @ the RAL Tier-1 Follow on effects providing additional support for users outwith GridPP itself - services to SKA, other clients of RAL Tier-1 and Glasgow Tier-2 sites. Influence on the Ceph and Xrootd upstream projects. |

Description | Imense develops Computer Vision software used for recognizing numbers and letters in images, with a focus on specialized applications such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and security use cases involving ID cards and driving licenses. |
Year Established | 2004 |
Impact | "Subsequently, using our core technology we derived a portfolio of unique and innovative products and services for Photographers; Image Agencies; Search Engines and Digital Asset Management providers. Our unique products help clients remove much of the effort of manual keywording of images, which accelerates productivity and dramatically lowers their operational costs. In addition, they enable faster and more accurate retrieval of images and video, helping clients retain and attract new customers. " |
