KWSN Orbiting Fortress

[KWSN - News]

Two announcements:
1) The LHC is back up and running you can follow its progress on the
CERN twitter feed @CERN or
the @lhcstatus feed.
The latter is actually a scrape of the screens that the physicists watch
to monitor the LHC machine.
2) LHC@home is also back. After a long quiet period we have new
studies to work on. The executable has been updated (which is why there
is not a Linux version available yet) and the project is now crunching
simulations for the LHC upgrade. The team at CERN are working on the
Linux executable and the team at QMUL are looking at the server code and
are hoping to update that soon.
This is all I will say for the moment. However LHC@home is being
used for beam studies from the LHC machine running actual data from the
experiments is unlikely as the code has been written for the grid and
the datasets are measured in 100s of gigabytes. We
have been looking into other LHC uses for the project but it is not
easy.
Later days,
Neasan
