Abstract

This paper summarizes the operational experience of the Tier1 computer center at Port d’InformacióCientífica (PIC) supporting the commissioning and first run (Run1) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Theevolution of the experiment computing models resulting from the higher amounts of data expected after therestart of the LHC are also described.
