  1. Advanced LIGOData & ComputingMaterial for the breakout sessionNSF review of the Advanced LIGO proposal Albert Lazzarini Caltech, 11 - 13 June 2003

  2. Outline • Data and Computing Subsystem (DAC) • Definition, functions • Conceptual Design • Heritage from LIGO I • Technical Challenges, Opportunities • Schedule & Plans • Cost estimates • Team LIGO Laboratory at Caltech

  3. DAC Definition & functions • Data and Computing subsystem • Distributed multi-laboratory site infrastructure to manage data, perform dedicated pipeline-based analysis of data • Caltech - main archive, computing capacity -- “Tier 1 Center” • MIT - Tier 2 center capacity • Hanford, Livingston Observatories - Dedicated resources during science operations, available as effective additional Tier 2 centers between runs • Functionality - Observatory sites • Data storage and archival system • Computing capacity for executing near-real time astrophysics searches LIGO Laboratory at Caltech

  4. DAC Definition & functions • Functionality - • Caltech • Main permanent archive and data storage facility for LIGO Laboratory, collaboration • Computing capacity for executing off-line astrophysics searches • Distributes data to collaboration Tier 2 sites (UW Milwaukee, Penn State) • First stage of data reduction from full raw volume generated at observatories • Center of infrastructure SW development • MIT • Laboratory-managed Tier 2 center for MIT Laboratory staff, collaboration • Reduced data set for most recent runs avaialble • Computing capacity for executing off-line astrophysics searches LIGO Laboratory at Caltech
