2012 Lattice QCD Project Annual Progress Review

Motivation

The Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Physics and the Office of High Energy Physics plan to conduct an Annual Progress Review of the Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) Computing Project on May 16-17, 2012, at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). A review panel of experts in high energy physics, nuclear physics and computer science is being convened for this task.

The focus of the 2012 LQCD Annual Progress Review will be on understanding:

• The continued significance and relevance of the LQCD project, with an emphasis on its impact on the experimental programs support by the Offices of High Energy and Nuclear Physics of the DOE;
• The progress toward scientific and technical milestones as presented;
• The status of the technical design and proposed technical scope for FY 2012-2013;
• The feasibility and completeness of the proposed budget and schedule;
• The effectiveness with which LQCD has addressed the recommendations from last year’s review.

Banquet Dinner

There will be a Meeting dinner at a local restaurant on Wednesday night, May 16, 2012. Payment will be collected at the meeting from those attending.
