WLCG

WLCG is the international project for providing a global computing and storage resources to the LHC.

Overview

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) project is a global collaboration of around 170 computing centres in more than 40 countries, linking up national and international grid infrastructures.

The mission of the WLCG project is to provide global computing resources to store, distribute and analyse the ~50-70 Petabytes of data expected every year of operations from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN on the Franco-Swiss border. The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid is partnered with EGI, OSG and ENeIC.

My activities

Through my activities at the SCIGNE platform, I am involved in the CMS and ALICE experiences (two of the largest experiments in the world devoted to research in the physics of matter at an infinitely small scale). I provide support to local users, as well as the development of computing infrastructures and services to meet the requirements of these experiences.
