This proposal, submitted in response to the 2009 invitation from STFC, aims to provide and operate a computing Grid for the exploitation of LHC data in the UK. The success of the current GridPP Collaboration will be built upon, and the UK's response to production of LHC data in the period April 2011 to March 2015 will be to ensure that there is a sustainable infrastructure providing "Computing in the LHC era"We propose to operate a Grid as the main mechanism for delivering very large-scale computational resources to the UK particle physics community. This foundation will underpin the success and increase the discovery potential of UK physicists. We will operate a production-quality Grid, delivering robustness, scale and functionality. The proposal is fully integrated with international projects and we must exploit the opportunity to capitalise on the UK leadership already established in several areas. The Particle Physics Grid will form a central part of the UK National Grid Infrastructure (NGI) that will be integrated with the European Grid Initiative (EGI) and which will inter-operate with Grids in the United States and elsewhere. The project will be managed across various domains and will deliver the UK's commitment to the worldwide LHC Computing Grid (wLCG) and ensure that worldwide activities directly benefit the UK.By 2015, the UK Grid infrastructure will have expanded in size to 40,000 cores, with more than 60 PetaBytes of storage. This will enable the UK to exploit, in an internationally competitive way, the unique physics potential of the LHC.A total request is made for £27.8m for a four year GridPP4 project starting in April 2011.

该提案是针对STFC的2009年邀请提交的，旨在为在英国剥削LHC数据提供和操作计算网格。当前的GRIDPP合作的成功将建立在2011年4月至2015年3月期间英国对LHC数据生产的反应是为了确保我们提议的“ LHC时代计算”具有可持续性的基础设施，我们建议将网格作为为英国粒子物理学提供非常大的计算资源的主要机制。该基础将取得成功，并提高英国物理学的发现潜力。我们将运行生产质量的网格，提供稳健性，规模和功能。该提案与国际项目完全融合在一起，我们必须利用有机会利用已经在多个领域建立的英国领导人。粒子物理电网将构成英国国家电网基础设施（NGI）的中心部分，该基础设施将与欧洲电网倡议（EGI）集成，并将与美国和其他地方的网格进行互入。该项目将在各个领域进行管理，并将对全球LHC计算网格（WLCG）的承诺实现，并确保全球活动直接受益于英国。到2015年，英国电网基础架构的规模将扩大到40,000个核心，并拥有60多个存储的PETABYTES。这将使英国能够以国际竞争的方式探索LHC的独特物理潜力。从2011年4月开始，为期四年的Gridpp4项目以2780万英镑的价格提出了总请求。
