Description
The Large Hadron Collider accelerator at CERN will produce proton-proton collisions at unprecedented energy and frequency, to be exploited by large experiments to study the intimate structure of matter and energy. Everything about LHC is large from physical dimensions to number of scientist to amount of data to be processed and of computing sites involved.
This presentation will explain how grid technology is enabling LHC experiments to provide a uniform working environment to their distributed communities and to achieve the needed processing throughput. We will also look at how the grid is acting as a powerful drive for communication and community building.
