PHENIX CC-J : Background
The computing requirements of the PHENIX experiment are very demanding.
- RCF cannot completely fulfill the needs of four experiments because RCF has been designated as the principal resources for raw data archiving and primary event reconstruction.
Each of the experiments was encouraged to identify outside resources to address the rest of their computing needs.
- The STAR experiment is planning to use the NERSC for their event and detector simulation
We propose to construct the PHENIX CC-J as a regional commuting center at RIKEN.
- PHENIX CC-J is well in accord with intention of RIKEN and RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC).
- RIKEN Wako’s support: 100 TB Tape Robot, 4 RedWood drives, HPSS Hardware/Software will be installed by March 1999.
