  1. 115. NFS 4.1/pNFS, the final step
    Patrick Fuhrmann (DESY)

    Track 1: Computing Technology for Physics Research
    Plenary talk
    With the introduction of clustered storage, combining a set of hosts to a single storage system, a very successful standard data access protocol, NFS2/3 became obsolete. One of the reasons was that NFS 2/3 assumes the name service part of the protocol being severed from the same host as the actual data, which is of course no longer true for clustered systems. As a result, high performance...

  2. 94. Multivariate analysis and data mining: statistics in the computer age
    David Hand (Imperial College London)
    06/09/2011, 09:40
    Track 2 : Data Analysis - Algorithms and Tools
    Plenary talk
    For very sound reasons, including the central limit theorem and mathematical tractability, classical multivariate statistics was heavily based on the multivariate normal distribution. However, the development of powerful computers, as well as increasing numbers of very large data sets, has led to a dramatic blossoming of research in this area, and the development of entirely new tools for...

  3. 109. Modern actions, algorithms, and computers for Lattice QCD
    Peter Boyle (University of Edinburgh)
    06/09/2011, 10:50
    Track 3: Computations in Theoretical Physics - Techniques and Methods
    Plenary talk
    I discuss recently developed formulations of lattice Fermions possessing near-exact chiral symmetry. These are particularly appropriate for the simulation of complex weak matrix elements. I also discuss the state of the art of supercomputing for Lattice simulation

  4. 119. Using machine learning techniques in classification problems in Astrophysics
    Dr Somak Raychaudhury (University of Birmingham)
    06/09/2011, 11:30
    Track 2 : Data Analysis - Algorithms and Tools
    Plenary talk
    Multivariate datasets in astrophysics can be large, with the increasing volume of information now becoming available from a range of observations, from ground and Space, across the electromagnetic spectrum. The observations are in the form of raw images and/or spectra, and tables of derived quantities, obtained at multiple epochs in time. Large archives of images, spectra and catalogues...
