Priorities
Software Tools
LBNE Software
- The Far Detector "lbnecode" package - LArTPC (Redmine Wiki)
- LBNE Far Detector SW releases (lbnecode)
Underlying Software Components and Tools
- art, a ROOT-based suite of tools, libraries, and applications for processing detector events.
- LArSoft, an art-based framework for simulating liquid argon drift detectors. As of Jan 24, 2014, LArSoft transitioned from svn/SRT to git/mrb/ups.
New Tools
- worch, a meta-build orchestration system based on waf framework.
- GGD, a Geometry Description system. Also see this dedicated geometry page.
- "Building in Docker", our R&D for applying the Docker platform to solve the problem of LBNE (and other) software packaging and distribution.
Facilities
FNAL
- Overview of Computing at FNAL (Slides)
- FNAL Accounts
- Grid Monitoring
- Fermigrid (Central computing facility at FNAL)
- "FIFEmon"
- FNAL Grid Accounting scoreboard
- Fermicloud
- Garden variety of monitoring stats
- Storage
BNL
- The RHIC and ATLAS Computing Facility: (RACF)
- The US ATLAS: Facilities Page (useful links)
- BNL Google Search
Open Science Grid
While not a facility or even an owner of a facility, the Open Science Grid (OSG) Consortium is an important component of the national Grid Computing infrastructure in the US as it facilitates access to High-Throughput Computing facilities for many research institutions and collaborations. LBNE enjoys the support of the OSG and has a Virtual Organization (VO) status with the Consortium.
- Gratia monitoring tool which shows Open Science Grid resource utilization.
