Description
ScotGrid is a distributed Tier-2 computing centre formed as a collaboration between
the Universities of Durham, Edinburgh and Glasgow, as part of the UK's national
particle physics grid, GridPP. This paper describes ScotGrid's current resources by
institute and how these were configured to enable participation in the LCG service
challenges. In addition, we outline future development plans for ScotGrid hardware
resources and plans for the optimisation of the ScotGrid networking infrastructure.
Such improvements are necessary to enhance the quality of service that we provide to
Grid users.
Keywords: ScotGrid, Tier-2, GridPP, LCG.
