STAR Manpower in RCF
RHIC computing project mandates experiment contributions to RCF
- For STAR, 3 FTEs from FY99 (97:1, 98:2)
Currently working this issue with RCF; also an issue at the DOE review
- Getting the manpower out of individual universities has completely failed. An FTE is too big an investment for an individual university.
- Alternate approach, adding the manpower at BNL, is being investigated
- Burden shared evenly across the institutes
- STAR/BNL group is logical, high visibility home for STAR/RCF personnel; demonstrated ability to attract postdocs to computing+physics jobs
- List of tasks for STAR/RCF manpower under discussion
