The Karlsruhe Research Center:
- One of the largest non-commercial science and engineeringresearch institutions in Germany
- Founded in 1956; main topics are among other things nuclear physics and nuclear energy
- Founded and funded by the federal government of Germany
- Today: Broad science program on the areas environment, energy, microsystems and fundamental research
- About 4.000 scientists, engineers and other people

IT-Division of the Karlsruhe Research Center ("HIK"):
- Founded in 1968, today 67 FTEs (55 staff, 12 leased people), 11 M€ total annual budget
- Topics: To provide a best-effort IT-infrastructure for the scientists and engineers of the Research Center
- Fields of work: High performance computing(vector, massive parallel, cluster)

Requirements for a German Regional Center LHC Tier-1 (ii)
- Karlsruhe Research Center tries to get the German Regional Center
- We are planning to begin very smoothly:2001: 1 percent of the end-volume (2006)2002: 2 percents of the end-volume (2006)2003: 5 percents of the end-volume (2006)
- The volumes in 2001 thru 2003 are prototypes or testbeds for the full environment in 2006/2007
- We are planning to switch some of our present staff to LHC-Computing
- We mean, that we need additionally about 8 FTEs (staff) and possibly some further leased people for this project
- We estimate the overall costs for LHCC at about 12 M€ (plus staff)

Presently Under Discussion
A single German Regional Data and Computing Center to support:
• ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb• BaBar• CDF and D0• COMPASS
Detailed requirements of German physicists for all off these eight projects expected for 18th of June
