ePIC Software & Computing Weekly Meeting: Echelon 2

Wednesday 24 Sept 2025, 11:00 → 12:10 US/Eastern

Dmitrii Kalinkin (University of Kentucky), Markus Diefenthaler (Jefferson Lab), Torre Wenaus (BNL), Wouter Deconinck (University of Manitoba)

In this week’s ePIC Software & Computing meeting, we will follow up on the status and plans for the Echelon 2 sites. Along with the Echelon 1 sites at BNL and JLab, these sites will provide global processing and storage for ePIC. As highlighted in our Streaming Computing Model report, Echelon 2 resources will accelerate computing use cases such as reconstruction and simulation, and will support a distributed model that allows us to shift resources flexibly to where they are most needed.

We will use Zoom for the remote meeting:
