This proposal, submitted in response to the 2009 invitation from STFC, aims to provide and operate a computing Grid for the exploitation of LHC data in the UK. The success of the current GridPP Collaboration will be built upon, and the UK's response to production of LHC data in the period April 2011 to March 2015 will be to ensure that there is a sustainable infrastructure providing 'Computing in the LHC era'. We propose to operate a Grid as the main mechanism for delivering very large-scale computational resources to the UK particle physics community. This foundation will underpin the success and increase the discovery potential of UK physicists. We will operate a production-quality Grid, delivering robustness, scale and functionality. The proposal is fully integrated with international projects and we must exploit the opportunity to capitalise on the UK leadership already established in several areas. The Particle Physics Grid will form a central part of the UK National Grid Infrastructure (NGI) that will be integrated with the European Grid Initiative (EGI) and which will inter-operate with Grids in the United States and elsewhere. The project will be managed across various domains and will deliver the UK's commitment to the worldwide LHC Computing Grid (wLCG) and ensure that worldwide activities directly benefit the UK. By 2015, the UK Grid infrastructure will have expanded in size to 40,000 cores, with more than 60 PetaBytes of storage. This will enable the UK to exploit, in an internationally competitive way, the unique physics potential of the LHC. A total request is made for £27.8m for a four year GridPP4 project starting in April 2011.

该提案是应 STFC 2009 年的邀请而提交的，旨在为英国的 LHC 数据开发提供并运营一个计算网格。当前 GridPP 合作的成功将建立在英国对生产的响应之上。 2011 年 4 月至 2015 年 3 月期间的大型强子对撞机数据将确保有一个可持续的基础设施来提供“大型强子对撞机时代的计算”。我们建议运营网格作为交付的主要机制。为英国粒子物理学界提供大规模计算资源。该基金会将支持英国物理学家的成功并提高其发现潜力。我们将运营一个生产质量的网格，提供与国际接轨的稳健性、规模和功能。我们必须利用这个机会利用英国在多个领域已经建立的领导地位，粒子物理网格将成为英国国家网格基础设施（NGI）的核心部分，该基础设施将与欧洲网格计划（EGI）相结合。这将与美国和其他地方的网格进行互操作，该项目将在多个领域进行管理，并将履行英国对全球大型强子对撞机计算网格（wLCG）的承诺，并确保到 2015 年，全球活动直接使英国受益。网格基础设施的规模将扩大到 40,000 个核心，存储容量超过 60 PB，这将使英国能够以具有国际竞争力的方式开发独特的物理潜力。 LHC。从 2011 年 4 月开始，为期四年的 GridPP4 项目总共需要 2780 万英镑。
