Compute Canada had a call in June 2014 for White Papers for Sustainable Planning for Advanced Research Computing (SPARC). Due to the many common requirements, it was felt that a much stronger case could be made if a common document on the "Computing requirements for the Canadian subatomic physics community" could be prepared on behalf of both the Institute of Particle Physics and the Canadian Institute of Nuclear Physics.

Please find the 2014 White Paper below, as well as an update submitted to Compute Canada in 2016. The papers were prepared by a joint CINP+IPP committee, following a call for community input on projected computing requirements.
