プロジェクト進捗状況 data analysis

tasks (date to complete)

1) raw data spool and transfer (2014 before stating iLCGT test run, brush up until bLCGT start)
This task is to construct raw data spool at Kamioka facility, and send data to Kashiwa continuously.

This task is storage and management of raw/calibrated (= pre-processed) data at Kashiwa.

3-1) fix the specification of the hardware (end of 2012)
3-2) procurement (2013)
	We need a official bid, but I don't know partial storage system for iLCGT is not so large as for international bid.

3-7) procurement (2015)
	Full storage system may require the international bit.
3-8) install full archiver with several PByte at Kashiwa (2016 end)
3-9) Tier 2 of LCGT data branch (2016 or future)

4) computing platform (hardware)
This task is prepare computing hardwares for data analysis except LCGT data storage.

4-1) fix the requirement of calculation performance (2012 1stQ)
4-2) fix specification, may be with ICRR platform (? 2012 end ?)
4-3) end-user clients (2014 2ndQ, 2016, and opportunity maintenance)
