Distributed Analysis with ROOT RDataFrame

The HL-LHC is foreseen to generate roughly thirty times more data than the LHC has produced so far. Given the available future budget estimations and expected technological evolution [1], software will play a crucial role to cover the performance…

Data handling and processing for the FCC-ee

Data handling and processing for the FCC-ee Introduction The integrated Future Circular Collider study will bring about giant steps forward in many technical and engineering fields. The operation at the Z-pole of the FCC-ee machine will deliver the…

First SWAN workshop at CERN

The first SWAN (Service for Wab based ANalysis) and Jupyter Notebooks Users’ Workshop was held last October at CERN. One of the main goals of the meeting was to offer a space where users could openly share their experience and gather…

CernVM 2019 Workshop

From 3rd June to 5th June, the 2019 CernVM Workshop took place. As about every 18 months, the CernVM workshop brings together software developers from EP-SFT, computing experts from the LHC experiments, WLCG system operators, and invited speakers…

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…

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…

CERN – HEP Software Foundation participates in Google's Summer of Code 2018

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) allows students to contribute to development of open-source projects, mentored by participating organizations. CERN-SFT participates in GSoC since 2011. In 2017, the programme expanded to involve the whole high-energy…

ROOT Users Workshop 2018 10th of September 2018 to 13th of September 2018 To discuss and shape the future of ROOT, the ROOT team would like to invite you to the 11th ROOT Users' Workshop. This time we will meet in Sarajevo,…

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-…

CernVM turns ten!

The 3rd CernVM users workshop took place at CERN from 30 January to 1 February 2018. The workshop aims to bring together users, developers and industry speakers to discuss the current status of the CernVM ecosystem and the future directions, with a…
