Description
Computing infrastructure is a fundamental component of modern High Energy Physics, enabling the distributed resources required for data acquisition, simulation, reconstruction, analysis, and the long-term operation of experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Within this framework, the Brazilian Center for Physics Research (CBPF) has contributed for decades to the Brazilian particle physics program through its sustained participation in the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) and its support of the LHCb experiment at CERN.
The CBPF Grid site operates as a WLCG Tier 2 facility for LHCb and other Virtual Organizations. The site currently provides over 5,600 CPU cores, with network connectivity in the 10–40 Gb/s range and a redundant power infrastructure. This combination of capacity and reliability has placed CBPF consistently among the ten most productive LHCb sites worldwide.
Leveraging this established infrastructure, CBPF is advancing new computing initiatives which include studies on the feasibility of running parts of the LHCb HLT2 farm in a distributed environment, as well as the development of advanced AI applications.
In this talk, we will present how these developments collectively shape CBPF’s emerging computing ecosystem, highlighting current capabilities, ongoing projects, and the strategic path envisioned for the coming years.
