TL;DR
ScotGrid is a collaborative prototype regional computing centre in the UK, designed to support particle physics and other scientific communities through resource optimization and expansion efforts.
Contribution
This paper introduces ScotGrid as a new regional computing centre and details its resource setup, optimization strategies, and expansion methodology.
Findings
Successful resource integration at three core sites
Effective optimization for diverse user communities
Framework for extending the centre to new projects
Abstract
ScotGrid is a prototype regional computing centre formed as a collaboration between the universities of Durham, Edinburgh and Glasgow as part of the UK's national particle physics grid, GridPP. We outline the resources available at the three core sites and our optimisation efforts for our user communities. We discuss the work which has been conducted in extending the centre to embrace new projects both from particle physics and new user communities and explain our methodology for doing this.
