Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

Private and public cloud infraestructures had become a reality in the recent years. Science is looking at this solutions to extend the amount of computing and storage facilities for the research projects that are becoming bigger and bigger. This is the aim of Helix Nebula Science Cloud (HNSciCloud) a project lead by CERN in which we submitted two use cases for the astrophysics projects MAGIC...

37. Good time with data: faas fn

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

Presenting what is Function as a service (FaaS) and how it can be used in the data center. Will be showing how NERSC is using FaaS to get added functionality to the data we collect. Also presented will be some basic python on to perform these functions and how to connect to Elastic both natively and via the API.

49. A Data Lake Prototype for HL-LHC

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

Evolving the current data storage, management and access models is the main challenge in WLCG and certainly in scientific computing for the coming years. HL-LHC will be exceeding what funding agencies can provide by an order of magnitude. Forthcoming experiments in particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics also foresee similar magnitudes in data volumes. The concepts of storage federations,...
