Datasets in modern High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments are often
described by dozens or even hundreds of input variables (features).
Reducing a full feature set to a subset that most completely represents
information about data is therefore an important task in analysis of HEP
data. We compare various feature selection algorithms for supervised
learning using several datasets such as, for i

Current Grid deployments for LHC computing (namely the WLCG infrastructure) do not allow efficient parallel interactive processing of data. In order to allow physicists to interactively access subsets of data (e.g. for algorithm tuning and debugging before running over a full dataset) parallel Analysis Facilities based on PROOF have been deployed by the ALICE experiment at CERN and elsewhere.

The ATLAS experiment at CERN will require about 4000 CPUs for the online data acquisition system (DAQ). When the DAQ system experiences software errors, such as event selection algorithm problems, crashes or timeouts, the fault tolerance mechanism routes the corresponding event data to the so called debug stream. During first beam commissioning and early data taking, a large fraction of events is

There are many ways to build a Storage Element. This talk surveys the common and popular architectures used to construct today's Storage Elements and presents points for consideration. The presentation then asks, "Are these architectures ready for LHC era experiments?". The answer may be surprising and certainly shows that the context in which they are used matters.

High performance computing with a large code base and C++ has proved to be a
