Description

A committee of experts, the EIC Computing and Software Advisory Committee (ECSAC), has been formed to advise the Host Laboratories on the progress and status of computing and software for the ePIC collaboration. Reviews occur on a regular cadence, with a charge reflective of the EIC schedule, the stage of the ePIC experiment, and impending deadlines. This charge covers an assessment of the progress of the implementation of the ePIC computing model including technical developments, and the integration of distributed resources. Interfaces between the DAQ (part of the formal 4.13b EIC project) and the ePIC computing model is within scope.

The Host Laboratories have assessed the EIC Computing and Software Joint Institute (ECSJI) resource plan. The plan and execution are within scope for this review.

The review will take place at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Uptown, New York.

    Homework Q&A
    
    The review will convene to discuss the answers to the homework questions from the previous day. The exact time will depend on the number of questions and the possible need for ePIC and ECSJI to have additional time in the morning to prepare their answers.
