Computing Technical Design Report
As described in detail in the rest of this document, the ATLAS Software & Computing Project has made major progress towards the realization of its goals, although significant development is still required before LHC turn-on. We are confident that we can be ready to meet the challenge of first data, and that our overall strategy is sufficiently flexible to respond rapidly and effectively to the surprises that real data will undoubtedly bring.
Of course we count on a continuing, fruitful collaboration with all the non-ATLAS projects working towards LHC computing, particularly the LCG and other Grid-oriented projects. Within ATLAS we have identified a requirement for a small amount of additional effort in critical areas, notably in database technology and other areas of computing infrastructure; the provision of this effort would be beneficial to a degree that far outweighs its cost.
