Computing Facilities
ASGC and Universities

Apart from the detector related facilities, the TIDC would like to integrate the computing resources for the use of the high energy physics community in Taiwan. The computing resources are very crucial to the particle physics experiments as they are needed for the simulation to prove the design of the detectors and demonstrate the physics sensitivities, the design of the online and offline triggers, and experimental data analysis. Three computing facilities (Academia Sinica Grid Computing Center (ASGC), National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC), and Computer and Information Networking Center of National Taiwan University (NTUCC)) have been collaborating with us. ASGC was established in 2005. ASGC has a dedicated 30 Gbits/s network link to CERN. The average computing resource usage at ASGC is about 16,500 CPU cores per day and 22,000 GPU boards per day in 2021. NCHC has been the Taiwan-CMS Tier-2 since 2014 and hosts 500 CPU cores. NTUCC has been providing strong support to NTU CMS Tier-3 and also the NTU Belle team.
