Major Deliverables
Prototype I - March 2002• Performance and scalability testing of components• Testing of the job scheduling and data replication software from
the first DataGrid release.
Prototype II - March 2003• Prototyping of the integrated local computing fabric, with
emphasis on scaling, reliability and resilience to errors. • Performance testing of LHC applications. Distributed HEP and other
science application models using the second DataGrid release.
Prototype III - March 2004• Full scale testing of the LHC computing model with fabric
management and Grid management software for Tier-0 and Tier-1 centres, with some Tier-2 components.

Middleware Deliverables
• Grid Architecture– Assess final DataGrid architecture as used in prototypes.
Compare with other related projects.• Security
– Develop authentication and authorisation scheme using certificates, management of local authorisation, standard interfaces.
• Workload Management– Develop uniform Job Description Language, integrate into
existing schedulers and optimization.• Data Management
– Metadata services to enable data replication, synchronization, data caching and optimisation.
GridPP AstroGrid 13 December 2001 Slide 6
Middleware Deliverables
• Grid Monitoring– Publication of information services, monitoring of static and
dynamic metrics to enable resource allocation algorithms.• Fabric Monitoring
– Automated installation of Grid middleware on multiple sites enabling rapid deployment of components.
• Mass Storage– Interface to various data storage solutions.
• Testbed– Prototype development and tools to enable VOs to share
resources.• Network Services
– Deployment of end to end networking tools, publication of network resource information, deployment of high rate transport solutions and tests of packet prioritisation services.

Application Deliverables
• LHC Experiments– Build Grid Application Frameworks based on DataGrid
Prototype releases. Demonstrate a significant fraction of distributed Grid required for LHC programme.
• BaBar Experiment (SLAC)– Adapt application framework to DataGrid prototype
release. Demonstrate use of Grid for production analysis.
• FermiLab Experiments– Build Grid frameworks based on the SAM Architecture
incorporating Globus components. Demonstrate production data analysis and MC production on the Grid.
• Smaller Experiments and Lattice QCD– Test Grid Technology in smaller environment implementing
modest data management system applicable across experimental domains.
