GridPP: development of the UK computing Grid for particle physics
2006
The GridPP Collaboration is building a UK computing Grid for
particle physics, as part of the international effort towards computing for the
Large Hadron Collider. The project, funded by the UK
Particle Physicsand Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), began in September 2001 and completed its first phase 3 years later. GridPP is a collaboration of approximately 100 researchers in 19 UK university
particle physicsgroups, the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils and CERN, reflecting the strategic importance of the project. In collaboration with other European and US efforts, the first phase of the project demonstrated the feasibility of developing, deploying and operating a Grid-based computing system to meet the UK needs of the
Large Hadron Colliderexperiments. This note describes the work undertaken to achieve this goal.
