Hunting For New Particles Leveraging Legacy Infrastructure with Kubernetes - Clemens Lange, CERN

Feedback form is now closed.
In the search for unknown particles in the CERN Large Hadron Collider’s particle collisions, billions of events need to be analysed. Even though large parts of CERN’s computing infrastructure are deployed using Kubernetes, physics analysis jobs are still being run on classical high throughput computing batch systems. While developing a fully cloud native computing approach, one still needs to have access to the ten-thousands of cores available on the legacy batch system to have sufficient resources for the data processing.

In this presentation, Clemens will demonstrate how complex physics analysis workflows that are written and scheduled using Kubernetes can make use of classical batch systems. The audience will also learn what complexity a realistic physics analysis can reach, and the important role that software containers and Kubernetes play in the context of open science.

Research Physicist, CERN
Clemens is a particle physicist working on the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. He currently searches for new, yet unknown phenomena in the data recorded with the CMS detector, developing and calibrating algorithms for their reconstruction and identification. His... Read More →
