Efficient use of results is crucial High multiplicity calculations are expensive ◮ Typical 5 final state calculations take ∼ 10 5 CPU · hours. ◮ Do not want to run it more than once. Layered computation set-up ◮ Save generated events in ROOT NTuples. [arXiv:1003.1241] ◮ Analyze later (still several days per analysis). ◮ Interpolation grids with APPLgrid for fast PDF convolution and scale variations. [arXiv:1312.4460] 7 / N

Saving events for further analysis NLO calculations are expensive and we need to use the results as efficiently as possible. ROOT NTuples output [arXiv:1003.1241] ◮ Save weigths, PDFs, scheme dependence ◮ Compact compressed storage ◮ Can change scales/PDFs during analysis ◮ Several jet algorithms at low cost 8 / N
