Data Acquisition systems are an integral part of their respective experiments. They are designed to meet the needs set by the physics programme. Despite some very interesting differences in the architecture the unprecedented data-rates at LHC have led to a lot of commonalities among the four large LHC data acquisition systems. All of them rely on commercial local area network technology and...

For various reasons the computing facility for LHC data analysis has been organised as a widely distributed computational grid. Will this be able to meet the requirements of the ย experiments as LHC energy and luminosity ramp up? Will grid operation become a basic component of science infrastructure? Will virtualisation and the cloud model eliminate the need for complex grid
middleware? Will...

The reach and diversity of computationally based Collaboratories continues to expand. The quantity and quality of remote processing and storage continues to advance with new additional entrants from the Commercial Clouds and coverage by Campus, Regional and National Grids. Ensuring interoperability across all these computing facilities is an important responsibility for the common...

Commissioning the LHC accelerator and experiments will be a vital part of the worldwide high-energy physics program in 2009. Remote operations centers have been established in
various locations around the world to support collaboration on LHC activities. For the CMS experiment the development of remote operations centers began with the LHC@FNAL ROC and has evolved into a unified approach with...

The SuperBelle project to increase the Luminosity of the KEKB collider
by a factor 50 will search for Physics beyond the Standard Model through
precision measurements and the investigation of rare processes in
Flavour Physics. The data rate expected from the experiment is
comparable to a current era LHC experiment with commensurate Computing
needs. Incorporating commercial cloud...

In 2008 IBM shattered the U.S. patent record becoming the first company to
surpass 4,000 patents in a single year - the 16th consecutive year that IBM
has achieved U.S. patent leadership. Come learn how IBM has leveraged our
deep Research and Development innovation to deliver the iDataPlex server
solution. With over 40 patented innovations, the iDataPlex product is one
of the ...

Todayโs processors designs have some significant challenges in the coming years. Compute demands are projected to continue to grow at a compound aggregate
growth rate of 45% per year, with seemingly no end in sight.ย Also, energy as well as property, plant and equipment costs continue to increase as well.ย ย ย Processor designers can no longer afford to trade off increasing power for increasing...

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future" - John F. Kennedy.
The Data Center landscape is changing at an incredible rate. Demand is increasing and technology is advancing rapidly, more so than at any other time in our history. Data Center operational cost increases, growing consumption, and the corresponding carbon...

When experiments get close to data taking, the pace of software
development becomes frantic, and experiments librarians and software
developers rely on performance monitoring and optimization to keep
core resources usage (memory and CPU) under control. Performance
monitoring and optimization share many tools, but they are distinct
processes with very different workflows. In this talk we...

After more than a decade of software development the LHC experiments have
successfully released their offline software for the commissioning with
data. Sophisticated detector description models are necessary to match the
physics requirements on the simulation, while fast geometries are in use to
speed up the high level trigger and offline track reconstruction. The
experiments explore...

Data and meta data management at Petabyte scale remains at the key challenges for the High Energy Physics community. Efficient distribution and reliable access to Petabytes of distributed data in files and relational database
will be required to exploit the physics potential of LHC data and the resources available to the experiments in the world wide LHC computing grid. In this presentation...

Computing in these years zero has been caracterized by the advent of "multicore cpus". Effective exploitation of this new kind of computing architecture requires
the adaptation of legacy software and
enventually a shift of the programming paradigms to massive parallel.
In this talk we will introduce the reasons that brough to the introduction
of "multicore" hardware and the consequencies ...

The high energy physics experiments collect data over long periods of time and exploit this data to produce physics publications. The scientific potential of an experiment is in principle defined and exhausted during the collaboration lifetime. However, the continous improvement of the scientific
grounds like the theory, experiment, simulation, new ideeas or unexpected discoveries may lead to...
