Universities prepare for CERN data deluge
HPCWire: The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland will generate 15 petabytes of data per year, seven times the complete holdings of all the US libraries put together says Thomas Hacker at Purdue University. "Once this data is distributed to the physicists at the universities, they will require massive amounts of computing power and data storage in order to analyze it," Hacker says. "When the data transfer is live, we will stream data out to physicists as we quickly as we can - real time if possible."
