GridPP6 Glasgow Staff Grant

该提案是应STFC 2018年的邀请提交的，旨在提供和运营一个计算网格，用于在英国利用LHC数据。当前GridPP协作的成功将建立在，英国对2020年4月至2024年3月期间LHC数据生产的反应将是确保有一个可持续的基础设施提供“粒子物理分布式计算“我们建议运行一个分布式高吞吐量计算服务作为提供非常大的-为英国粒子物理界提供计算资源。这个基础将巩固成功，并增加英国物理学家的发现潜力。我们将提供生产质量的服务，提供稳健性、规模和功能。该提案完全与国际项目相结合，我们必须利用这个机会，利用英国在几个领域已经建立的领导地位。粒子物理分布式计算服务将越来越多地与国家和国际计划相结合。该项目将在各个领域进行管理，并将履行英国对全球大型强子对撞机计算网格（WLCG）的承诺，并确保全球活动直接受益于英国。到2020年，英国网格基础设施的规模将扩大到77，000个核心，拥有超过54 Peta的存储空间。这将使英国能够以具有国际竞争力的方式利用LHC独特的物理潜力。

This proposal, submitted in response to the 2018 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 2020 to March 2024 will be to ensure that there is a sustainable infrastructure providing "Distributed Computing for Particle Physics"We propose to operate a distributed high throughput computational service 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 service, 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 distributed computing service will increasingly be integrated with national and international initiatives.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 2020, the UK Grid infrastructure will have expanded in size to 77,000 cores, with more than 54 PetaBytes of storage. This will enable the UK to exploit, in an internationally competitive way, the unique physics potential of the LHC.
