Intel Xeon Processors Help Capture and Analyze Massive Amounts of Scientific Data From the World's Most Powerful Particle Accelerator

Tags:
processors

Overview Several hundred feet beneath the French-Swiss border lies the world's largest, most powerful particle accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider. More than 2,200 researchers from around the globe work at the CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) laboratory on ATLAS, a large-scale particle physics experiment that studies the forces that have shaped the universe since the Big Bang. To create the High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters that capture and analyze the massive amount of experimental data generated, researchers from the University of California, Irvine, and collaborating institutions selected Dell PowerEdge servers equipped with Intel Xeon processors.

Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges. Moreover, in good times and bad, increasing regulation at the regional and national level is imposing additional duties and responsibilities on the public services without additional resources to carry them out. Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change isincreasing demand for health and social services.Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of internationalterrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with lessÂ—quite a challenge.
