9. The LHC Computing Grid Project – LCG
Goal – Prepare and deploy the LHC computing environment
Applications support:
develop and support the common tools, frameworks, and environment needed by the physics applications
Computing system:
build and operate a global data analysis environment
integrating large local computing fabrics
and high bandwidth networks
to provide a service for ~6K researchers
in over ~40 countries
