Description

One of the recommendations to come out of the HSF / WLCG Workshop in November 2020 was to create an Erasure Coding Working Group. Its purpose is to help solve some of the data challenges that will be encountered during HL-LHC by enabling sites to store data more efficiently and robustly using Erasure Coding techniques. The working group aims to:
- To provide a forum to allow sites to identify the best underlying storage for their use cases.
- To provide recommendations on how to configure storage to effectively use Erasure Coding.
- To work with VOs to ensure that their workflows run efficiently when accessing data stored via Erasure Coding.
