Quote:
Delegates attending the 140th meeting of CERN Council heard a confident report from the Laboratory about the scheduled start-up of the world's highest energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collier (LHC), in 2007.

...Progress is equally impressive for the four large experiments preparing to take data with the LHC's colliding particle beams. Named ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb, all are striving to be ready for first collisions late in 2007.

When data flow from the experiments gets up to speed, it will be produced at a prodigious rate, reaching close to one percent of the world's information production rate.

So that means no more work? Sporadic work? Or dancing penguins?

If there are dancing penguins, I'll sign up.

How about if they are evil dancing penguins?

With nasty sharp pointy teeth? Even better.

No, that's the rabbit!

Do they dance? Dancing rabbits might get me to sign up too.

Dancing rabbits or flying rabbid pigs. Course I'm already signed up so I guess it doesn't take much.

Yeah I'm not sure what is going to happen to LHC@Home when the thing finally goes online. They may make use of it to do some analysis on some small part of the data. Obviously it is kind of hard to send out several petabytes in a BOINC work unit so we certainly won't be doing any analysis of the raw data however there may be some subset that a random researcher wants to take a closer look at... who knows! There has been talk of a new application on LHC called "Garfield" but I don't know what data it will crunch.

Generating ridiculously huge amounts of data "reaching close to one percent of the world's information production rate", Cern is developing a massive grid net to support all that. Ah, here's something on it:

Quote:
The data from the LHC experiments will be distributed around the globe, according to a four -tiered model. A primary backup will be recorded on tape at CERN, the "Tier-0" centre of LCG. After initial processing, this data will be distributed to a series of Tier-1 centres, large computer centres with sufficient storage capacity for a large fraction of the data, and with round-the-clock support for the Grid.

The Tier-1 centres will make data available to Tier-2 centres, each consisting of one or several collaborating computing facilities, which can store sufficient data and provide adequate computing power for specific analysis tasks. Individual scientists will access these facilities through Tier-3 computing resources, which can consist of local clusters in a University Department or even individual PCs, and which may be allocated to LCG on a regular basis.
