Large scale data storage and processing systems are needed to store, access, retrieve, distribute, and process data from experiments conducted at large facilities, such as Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF). In addition, data acquisition for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) requires unpr ...

The cost of data storage in magnetic disk media is becoming competitive with magnetic tape for storing large volumes of data (ignoring all costs of servers and I/O performance). Because current technology keeps all disk drives powered and spinning, the infrastructure costs of operating a many-petabyte-scale disk storage system can be significant. However, one characteristic of nuclear physics data ...

A recent trend in nuclear physics is to construct data handling and distribution systems using web services or data grid infrastructure software – such as Globus, Condor, SRB, and xrootd – for large scale data processing and distribution. Grant applications are sought for (1) hardware and/or software techniques to improve the effectiveness and reduce the costs of storing, retrieving, and movin ...

Grid deployments such as the Open Science Grid (OSG) in the U.S. and the Worldwide Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Computing Grid (WLCG) in Europe provide standardized infrastructures for scientific computing across large numbers of distributed facilities. To support these infrastructures, new computing paradigms have emerged to emerge: (1) Grid Computing, sometimes called “computing on demand,” w ...

Modern data acquisition systems are becoming more heterogenous and distributed. This presents new challenges in synchronization of the different elements of this event-driven architecture. The building blocks of the data acquisition system are digitizers, either flash digitizers or integrating digitizers of time, pulse height or charge. These elements respond in real-time to convert electrical sig ...

Computationally demanding theory calculations as well as detector simulations and data analysis tasks can be significantly accelerated by the use of general purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The ability to exploit these accelerators is constrained by the effort required to port the software to the GPU environment. More capable cross compilation or source to source translation tools are nee ...
