## Coordination with Intl. ATLAS

- Common WBS, schedule
- Working to same milestones
- Ramping up presence at CERN
- Multiple Tutorials given on control/framework
- Software Agreements in progress
- (control/framework is prototype agreement)

## Project Office (BNL)

- Information in ACCESS DB, tracking function support
- Use of project office for procurements
- Major procurements:
- 5% Mock Data Challenge (’03)
- 20% Facilities ramp (end of 05)
- 100% Facilities ramp
- Main repository for project documentation
- E.g. web-based WBS (click-down, view milestones etc)

## Contingency

- Major issue:
- Funding profiles tight
- Uncertainties large for a fixed set of deliverables
- Factors of 2 or more in some cases
- Adopt this model:
- “Build to cost” – drop requirements as needed to meet deliverables
- Add 10% project reserve to help put deal with crises – year by year allocation
- Agreement with CMS
- Issue: understanding implications in progress (e.g. hardware purchases etc.)

## Regional Center

- Goals:
- Support U.S. Physicists in analysis
-  International ATLAS contribution
- Hub of U.S. ATLAS Grid
- Status:
- Support hires
- Center running, providing support
- Planning for ATLAS, Grid activities
- Acquisition of more Linux boxes
- Support for CPU intensive jobs
- Shielding calculations

## Neutron Background Studies

- J. Huth        U.S. ATLAS Physics and Computing Project Status

- November  14-17, 2000

## Tier 2’s, Grid Effort

- At present, Tier 2 funding is deemed “infrastructure”
- Partition of “Project” and Tier 2 funds
- Funding assumed to be external to guidance
- Widespread interest among both labs and universities
- Contributions of effort from BU and Indiana (Shank and Gardner)
- Focus on a U.S. ATLAS Testbed for studies
- Understand Grid middleware implications for Core software efforts
- Initial developments and tests of Tier 2’s at few % scale
