I've only got experience with the former, not the latter, so yes I was estimating. I accept your appraisal of my estimate.
I guess I just wasn't impressed with the tier-0 core count--no, it's that I expected LHC to be the earth's darling project and get whatever resources it may need. This article describes a struggle that sounds resource-related... And, gah, academic software < industry software. :(
- euyyn 11y ago> I expected LHC to be the earth's darling project and get whatever resources it may need Yeah, the DC at CERN is constrained by the power it can draw from Meyrin (or at least it was, 9 years ago). And the rest of the grid is donated by universities (with some trade mechanism to donate the CPU/disk time back to them in the future). So I expect any of the big Cloud providers can beat it. It'd be lovely if one of them donated resources, in exchange for bragging rights.
