India's effort on WLCG

Experiments at CERN produce colossal amounts of data (roughly 30 petabytes a year), which are processed using Grid computing, enabling sharing of resources belonging to computer centers located around the world. Indian scientists have contributed substantially to the building and operation of the Large Hadron Collider Grid (LCG). LCG has a hierarchical structure of data dissemination, of which India hosts two Tier 2 centres at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), in addition to several Tier 3 centers. The two Tier-2 Grid computing centres at VECC and TIFR are performing large part of LHC computing.
