Risk Summary

Experiment Computing Models

Risk Detail

Experiments do not improve computing model performance sufficiently.

Effect

Lack of investment of effort to reduce reconstruction time, decrease storage needs, etc. would mean that resource requirements are unneccesarily high and unaffordable.

Mitigation

Experiment working groups on all aspects of computing and storage: nanaAOD, reduce reconstruction time, fast simulation, etc. Must include work on data models.

Comments

These groups are in place and working, with significant reductions in the original estimates of resources needed for HL-LHC. Sharing of findings and strategies between experiments is encouraged. Some optimism that these efforts are bearing fruit.
