Tier-1 Hardware

• The issues here are
• The fair allocation of Tier-1 hardware
• International MOUs and other less formal
  commitments
• The Disk-CPU balance and the real cost of Tape
• The absolute scale.

• Other factors?
• Clearly controversial

Tier-1 Hardware
Output guidelines for the User Board
within which to perform actual allocation. Output
guidelines within which international MOUs can
be discussed. Note current lack of information on
absolute scale.

Tier-1 Hardware
We would like the CBs input to this Hardware
allocation process. A breakdown from each
institute of estimated MO FTE/experiment for
2005 to 2008 would significantly reduce the
current influence of the strategic
weights. Ideally, we would like the blessing of
the CB for this approach and then, with some
added assessment of the actual scale of the
hardware, present to PPARC for consideration in
the context of both the international MOUs
(BaBar, LHC, etc) and for post-GridPP planning.
