ROOT is a unified software package for the storage, processing, and analysis of scientific data: from its acquisition to the final visualization in the form of highly customizable, publication-ready plots. Successfully used by experiments and thousands of physicists, the ROOT Project is preparing its seventh release cycle, sustained by intense R&D activities.
In this contribution, after...
One of the objectives of the EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) Future Project was to integrate diverse analysis workflows from Cosmology, Astrophysics and High Energy Physics in a common framework. This led to the inception of the Virtual Research Environment (VRE) at CERN, a prototype platform supporting the goals of Dark Matter and Extreme Universe Science Projects in compliance with FAIR...
The Geant4 simulation throughput of LHC experiments is limited by increasing detector complexity in the high-luminosity phase. As high-performance computing shifts toward heterogeneous architectures such as GPUs, GPU-accelerated particle transport simulations offer a potential way to improve performance. Currently, only electromagnetic showers can be offloaded to GPUs, making an efficient...
This contribution will present how the EVERSE project interfaces with the European Open Science Clusters (ENVRI-FAIR for environmental sciences, Life Sciences RI, ESCAPE for Particle physics and astrophysics, PaNOSC for Photon and neutron science and SSHOC for social sciences and humanities) through use cases of software packages or infrastructures that are in current used by researchers....
In this talk, we will describe the studies undertaken at the University of Manchester to estimate and improve the energy efficiency of computing hardware and software used by students and researchers.
The goal of these studies is to build an understanding of the environmental impact of paticle physics research focusing on two fronts:
1) the carbon cost of the hardware uses for high power...
Scikit-HEP is a community-driven and community-oriented project with the goal of providing an ecosystem for particle physics data analysis in Python fully integrated with the wider scientific Python ecosystem. The project provides many packages and a few “affiliated” packages for data analysis. It expands the typical Python data analysis tools for particle physicists, with packages spanning...
Marionette is a header-only C++ library that was designed to allow the description of arbitrary data structures that can work across heterogeneous compute devices and on the host, providing complete interoperability and convenient interfaces with no impact on runtime performance. This is achieved by decoupling the description of the data to be held from the way in which data will be stored,...
The EVERSE project aims to collect, enhance and curate training resources aligned with domain-specific practices, create a long-term training activity supported by community services and platforms and establish a framework for recognizing Trainers and RSEs.
This contribution will describe how EVERSE plans to collect and provide training, guidance and education to researchers, software...
Since their discovery in 2015, gravitational waves have become a hot topic in physics research.
Gravitational-wave data produced by the LVK Collaboration, formed by the LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA collaborations, become fully public after a grace period; combined with the relative simplicity of the data themselves (one time series of the main signal channel per each interferometer, plus some simple...
