  The SPD (Spin Physics Detector) is a planned spin physics experiment in the
second interaction point of the NICA collider that is under construction at
JINR. The main goal of the experiment is the test of basic of the QCD via the
study of the polarized structure of the nucleon and spin-related phenomena in
the collision of longitudinally and transversely polarized protons and
deuterons at the center-of-mass energy up to 27 GeV and luminosity up to
$10^{32}$ 1/(cm$^2$ s). The data rate at the maximum design luminosity is
expected to reach 0.2 Tbit/s. Current approaches to SPD computing and offline
software will be presented. The plan of the computing and software R&D in the
scope of the SPD TDR preparation will be discussed.
