Cern is developing a particle accelerator which will generate billions of bits of data that will need to be analysed when the technology is launched in 2005. One of the strongholds of the grid computing project is the Geneva physics laboratory Cern...
CERN's need to find a cost-effective way to manage a massive computing project while using existing computing resources is the same issue that business customers face, Hawk said, adding "not that we aren't really excited about particle physics.
Sir Tim came up with the idea of what he called global hypertext space while working at the European Particle Physics Laboratory at CERN in 1989. While Apple fumbled, over at CERN Berners-Lee wrote a program called WorlDwidEweb, a point and click...
Hewlett-Packard's ProCurve networking division is taking aim at Cisco Systems once again with a new, low-cost Gigabit Ethernet switch. On Thursday, the company plans to announce the ProCurve Switch 3400cl, a fixed-port Ethernet switch that supports...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) being constructed at CERN near Geneva will be the largest scientific instrument on the planet and will need the hugely powerful computing to process the 15 Petabytes of data that it will produce each year.
Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, is one of the world's largest particle physics laboratories. They may have transformed man's understanding of the universe but the monumental impact of the world's first large radio telescope...
