Abstract

A new chapter in scientific computing opened earlier this summer when a prototype of the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) was deployed across three continents. The LCG project is designed to meet the unprecedented computing requirements of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is currently being constructed at CERN. The LHC should start producing data in 2007 and will be used by thousands of physicists from universities and laboratories across the world to study fundamental mechanisms in particle physics such as supersymmetry and the search for the Higgs boson.
