  • 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|"Building in Docker"], our R&D for applying the [1] platform to solve the problem of LBNE (and other) software packaging and distribution.

Facilities

FNAL

BNL

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.
