CERN Launches Huge LHC Computing Grid

RaaVi writes "Yesterday CERN launched the largest computing grid in the world, which is destined to analyze the data coming from world's biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. The computing grid consists of more than 140 computer centers from around the world working together to handle the expected 10-15 petabytes of data the LHC will generate each year." The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid will initially handle data for up to 7,000 scientists around the world. Though the LHC itself is down for some lengthy repairs, an event called GridFest was held yesterday to commemorate the occasion. The LCG will run alongside the LHC@Home volunteer project.

LHC computing Grid launched

03 October 2008 The LHC Grid is ready to tackle mankind's biggest data challenge from the earth's most powerful accelerator. Three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centres from 33 countries to analyse and manage more than 15 Pbyte of LHC data every year.

CERN openlab boosts the performance of LHC computing

06 October 2008 The LHC Grid Fest, held October 3, 2008 at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and at several sites around the world, commemorated the readiness of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG). At full capacity, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle accelerator, is expected to produce more than 15 million Gigabytes of data each year. Hundreds of millions of subatomic particles will collide each second, presenting a massive data challenge. The mission of the WLCG is to build and maintain the data storage and analysis infrastructure for this immense flow of data, thus helping physicists open new frontiers in our understanding of the Universe.

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid celebrates first data

03 October 2008 Three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider - the world's largest particle accelerator - the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid celebrates the start of its crucial data challenge: the analysis and management of more than 15 Petabyte of data every year, to be produced from the hundreds of millions of subatomic collisions expected inside the LHC every second. This data-handling feat marks an essential stage in the process of enabling researchers to discover new physics.

LHC computing: Switching on to the Grid (archive)

La physique des particules a toujours poussé à leurs limites le calcul électronique et les techniques afférentes – comme en témoigne le World Wide Web, développé au CERN. Fidèle à cette tradition, la physique des particules au CERN constituera bientôt un banc d'essai crucial pour un système réticulaire de traitement de l'information encore plus puissant – la Grille.

CERN unveils computer grid linking 7,000 scientists

Scientists walk in the CERN LHC computing grid centre in Geneva. This centre is one of the 140 data processing centres, located in 33 countries, taking part in the grid processing project. More than 15mn gigabytes of data produced from the hundreds of millions of subatomic collisions in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) should be collected every year

Les Robertson, project manager of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, told swissinfo why the system that links more than 100,000 processors at 140 institutes in 33 countries could herald the next leap forward in computer technology.

Scientists at Cern, where the worldwide web was invented, created the SFr780 million ($690 million) Grid because they realised that a single computer centre would not be able to cope with the colossal amounts of data flowing from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator.

LHC computing: Milestones (archive)

Plans for the next generation of network-based information-handling systems took a major step forward when the European Union's Fifth Framework Information Society Technologies programme concluded negotiations to fund the Data Grid research and development project. The project was submitted to the EU by a consortium of 21 bodies involved in a variety of sciences, from high-energy physics to Earth observation and biology, as well as computer sciences and industry. CERN is the leading and coordinating partner in the project.

Panic grips LHC after bomb hoax

LAHORE: Panic gripped litigants and lawyers present at the Lahore High Court (LHC) when the bomb disposal squad (BDS) started searching for explosives on Thursday afternoon. The BDS arrived at the court after the police emergency help line received a telephone call about the presence of a bomb in the LHC, the Anarkali Police Station house officer (SHO) said, adding that the LHC security staff and the BDS had been informed about the call. However, no explosive material was found during the two-hour search operation. The SHO said that the police were trying to trace the unidentified caller who had made the hoax call through telephone number 0345-7082042. However, he added, the number had been switched off. Security personnel deployed at the LHC became more vigilant after the hoax call.

How Do You Qualify Something as Cloud Computing?

Practically every one with an online business model is now referring to their service as cloud computing - starting from your average Joe hosting firm all the way to the SaaS/S+S vendors, every wants to ride the next buzzword wave, and this distorts the cloud computing term all together. Part of the reason being that historically the term "cloud" loosely referred to anything that’s available online/on the Internet. Ask a bunch of geeks and you would get a different explanation of cloud computing from each person (if you ever asked a bunch of people what Web 2.0 is you know what I mean). So how can we qualify if a service is really leveraging the cloud computing model?
