68. Cost Models

Jose Flix Molina (Centro de Investigaciones Energéti cas Medioambientales y Tecno)

To be able to predict the needs of computing and to understand which type of resources contribute to the overall costs, several models have been developed and are in use. Can we build models based on a common approach between the experiments and to what detail do we need to go? Short presentation followed by a discussion.

69. Bringing improvements into production

Johannes Elmsheuser (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

In our community we often observe a significant latency between the proof of concept of an improvement and the exploitation in production, while we often react to emergencies swiftly. Do we understand the underlying causes and what could be done to benefit more timely from improvements? Short presentation followed by a lively discussion.

70. Exchanging and disseminating knowledge

Markus Schulz (CERN)

20/06/2017, 17:00

In many places, conferences, summer schools, workshops over many years findings on performance and efficiency are presented and techniques and tools are taught. There is a lot of knowledge and experience in our community, however this knowledge is fragmented and often web searches are the way to connect these sources. To achieve the improvements to successfully face the HL-LHC challenges this...
