The computer infrastructure behind the Large Hadron Collider
Posted in Main on September 19th, 2008 by Pingdom
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be producing roughly 15 petabytes of data each year (15,000,000,000,000,000 bytes). In other words, the LHC is not only huge in physical size (filling a 17-mile long underground path), but it will produce enormous amounts of data for researchers to bite into.
CERN seems to be well-equipped to handle the data from the gigantic particle accelerator when you take a look at their data center.
