HL-LHC computational challenge for ATLAS and CMS experiments
HL-LHC computational challenge for ATLAS and CMS experiments The two general purpose LHC Experiments, ATLAS [1] and CMS [2], are going to be confronted with challenging experimental conditions at the High Luminosity LHC Run (HL-LHC), starting in 2026. In particular, computing systems will have to cope with greatly increased data samples and data acquisition and

ROOT 10th workshop: Fun with Data
ROOT 10th workshop: Fun with Data ROOT is a modular software toolkit mainly developed in the SFT group and is made for processing, analysing and visualising scientific data. It also allows to read and write data: presently, LHC experiments alone produced about 1 Exabyte (one million Terabytes!) of data stored on disks and tapes in

Setting a roadmap for future experimental technologies
Setting a roadmap for future experimental technologies In elementary-particle physics as in most fields of science, advances in understanding are closely coupled to advances in technology. Machines of higher luminosity open opportunities for the observation of rare and unexpected processes while higher-energy accelerators are needed to cross thresholds for suspected new phenomena. Advances in accelerator

HEP Software Foundation Community White Paper looks forward to the HL-LHC
HEP Software Foundation Community White Paper looks forward to the HL-LHC The High Luminosity LHC programme not only pushes the frontiers of accelerator and detector technology, but it also brings enormous challenges to the software and computing that is used to turn high luminosity data into physics. The scale of the problem is huge –

End of year news from EP-SFT
End of year news from EP-SFT The end of year is traditionally the time when SFT makes new releases of our main software products. It is a very busy time with everyone working energetically to meet various deadlines. All last minute changes and fixes need to be integrated and run through extensive checks to ensure

A new CERN service for web-based data analysis in the cloud: SWAN
A new CERN service for web-based data analysis in the cloud: SWAN In the last few years, a clear trend has emerged in the data science industry: the increase of service offerings for data analysis in the cloud, accessible via a web interface. It is precisely this phenomenon that led us, the SFT and IT-ST
