MONARC Workshop, 10th-11th May 1999

Monday 10th

  • 14.00 - Introduction
  • Perspective on Status of MONARC, outlook for future work, and relation to other projects Harvey Newman.
  • Overview of Milestones, and areas where we did not meet our original dates L.P.
  • 14.30 - Results, status ( with Milestone review ) and plans for Architecture WG
  • architectural diagrams
  • options for the "style" of LHC computing: comparative features.
  • adapting to the local history, milieu and other regional requirements outside of LHC computing
  • 17.00 - Results, status ( with Milestone review ) and plans for Testbed WG
  • Status of CERN testbed machine, Tim Smith
  • MONARC testbed on Objectivity DB, Youhei Morita
  • Status of tests using ATLFAST++, Silvia Resconi

    • Tuesday 11th

  • 9.00 - Results, status ( with Milestone review ) and plans for Analysis+Simulation.
  • Formation of a simulation team:
  • Modeler architects subgroup
  • Modeler simulation run and analysis-tools subgroup
  • Model-analysis group
  • Requirements for Models to be simulated
  • Plan for reaching the level required for simulating models to meet MONARC milestones
  • Requirements of analysis models, in order to be able to characterize which are -- and are not -- feasible.
  • Criteria for the "Choice of the models to be to be simulated".
  • Plan to demonstrate convincingly that there exist Models matching the foreseen resources, and supporting a sufficient body of LHC "analysis" in total. [Or alternatively: that additional resources may be required in some areas.]
  • 9:00 Iosif Legrand "Status of the simulation program" demonstration (if possible from 40-SD-01)
