Expanding software collaboration beyond HEP: pros, cons, dos and donts
- Gordon Watts (University of Washington (US))
Description
roundtable discussion
- HEP computing has been innovative in several areas and “reinvented the
wheel” in others
-
Our record of collaboration with others fields outside and of
rationalisation of effort inside leaves room for improvement -
New architectures have to be exploited, but this makes software harder to
write & maintain, more collaboration is desirable / unavoidable -
What to do to
o improve collaboration within HEP?
o extend collaboration outside HEP?
o break isolation?
o involve ACAT in this process?
o build links between ACAT and the Software Initiative discussed at CERN
in Spring?
o effective collaborate with industry?
