Supporting USQCD

• Fermilab hosts USQCD– On average $~1.2M per year. This includes xxx FTEs for xxxx

• Fermilab provides ~2.5 FTEs (~$600k under Lattice) of technical support for USQCD to support the scientific LQCD program. These include– Project management of SC LQCD (national hardware project)

when required in excess of 0.5 FTE funded by SC LQCD.– System and scientific software support (not explicit in the SC

LQCD project and provided by the host laboratories):• Deploying and testing LQCD libraries and applications• Assisting LQCD facility users with application-level software problems• Developing and deploying the software used to manage and monitor the

LQCD clusters and their utilization

– Provisioning and operation of computer room space9
