10.000 CPUs und 10 Petabyte Speicherplatz reichen noch lang nicht aus

Das "Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid" (LCG) umfasst mittlerweile mehr als 100 Sites in 31 Ländern und ist damit derzeit das größte internationale wissenschaftliche Grid. Ziel des LCG-Projekts ist es, ausreichend Ressourcen zu schaffen, um die riesigen zu erwartenden Datenmengen des Large Hadron Collider (LHC) verarbeiten zu können, der derzeit am CERN in Genf entsteht.

10.000 CPU's and 10 Petabyte capacity are way below what is needed.
The "Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid" (LCG) now spans over 100 sites in 31 countries and is currently the biggest international scientific grid. Goal of the LCG Project is to create enough resources so the enormous amount of data created by the LHC currently built at the CERN in Geneve can be processed....

So! This is not about the LHC@Home, right? Hey, you CERN Guys.... How about an official statement? ;-)

World's Largest Computing Grid Surpasses 100 Sites
Wed 16 Mar 2005

Yesterday the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) project announced that its computing Grid now includes more than 100 sites in 31 countries. This makes it the world's largest international scientific Grid. The UK is the biggest single contributor to the LCG, with more than a fifth of the Grid's processing power at its 16 sites.
