20. Plasma Physics: Scientific and Computational Challenges

David Coster (MPI for Plasma Physics, Munich)

28/08/2009, 09:00

In preparing for ITER, a number of computational challenges need to be overcome: individual parts of the problem are "grand challenge" problems in their own right, but they also need to be combined to prepare for simulations that encompass all the relevant space and time scales. The talk will describe the work being done by EUFORIA and the ITM to use a scientific workflow engine to launch...

Particle and Plasma Physics

Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory describing the interactions of quarks and gluons, is not amenable to an analytic solution but can be studied numerically via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. We show why and how the particular question we posed, regarding the existence of a QCD chiral critical point, can be studied efficiently on the Grid.

5. LHC and Grid Computing

Stefano Belforte (INFN Trieste)

Particle and Plasma Physics

The Large Hadron Collider accelerator at CERN will produce proton-proton collisions at unprecedented energy and frequency, to be exploited by large experiments to study the intimate structure of matter and energy. Everything about LHC is large from physical dimensions to number of scientist to amount of data to be processed and of computing sites involved. This presentation will explain...
