2014

The base budget was sufficient to purchase network equipment needed to move to 10 GbE, a first wave of HPSS upgrade (disk cache, drive for Run 14 bandwidth requirements), refresh of BlueArc storage (end of warranties) and purchase of the GPFS system (with supplemental funds argued by STAR). The remainder went into purchasing an equal amount of CPU to be shared between STAR and PHENIX (TBC).
