Areas we would like traction on from the review:

  • SCA funding model and manpower
  • G4 funding level and directions
  • cosmology initiative approval
  • LCSim future

SLAC is assigned two hours. We can try to justify asking for more if needed (first attempt rebuffed!). Considerations from the charge:

  • cosmology computing
  • accelerator simulation
  • budget for PPA
  • hardware install at lab
  • recharge model
  • intro (David plans to do intro and budget; budget talk last)
  • LCSim
  • theory stuff? generators? Blackhat?
  • G4, xrootd as pan-Lab tools
  • XLDB
  • SCA tools
  • effort distributed in collaborations (how to describe this?)
  • ATLAS T2
  • BABAR archival analysis system
  • anything on LSST?
  • planning for DES & CTA
  • KIPAC computing
  • FreeHEP, Wired: Funding?
  • No labels
