- a Tier 2 Computing Facility for HEP
SouthGrid is a regional Tier 2 centre of GridPP, distributed between the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and Warwick, and the Particle Physics department of The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and The Jet project at Culham.
"The particle physics groups at the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford, and at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, have each established a strong local programme of Grid-based computing in direct support of their experimental activities. In each case, the development of a high-performance local computing system has been accompanied by a leading involvement in UK, European and Worldwide Grid prototype projects. The close links with the UK Tier-1 Centre at RAL that have been established are mirrored in the geographical proximity and ready network access to the Tier-1 resources."
"RALPP, Oxford, Cambridge and Jet have considerable resources and new University SRIF funded HPC clusters are coming on line at Bristol and Birmingham."
The HEP groups at the SouthGrid institutes have very close relationships with the corresponding e-Science centres, playing significant roles in setting them up and being represented on their management boards. The Cambridge HEP Group supplied the Director of the CeSC.
The Tier 2 centre was setup as part of the GridPP 2 project, background information about this is here
