SUMMARY:Challenges of Big Data in Science  - Ian Bird - CERN
DTSTART:20180201T130000Z

CONTACT:James Fergusson
DESCRIPTION:The LHC and its four large experiments have generated unpreced
 ented volumes of data over the past 8 years\, and required a novel infrast
 ructure and analysis mechanisms to be implemented in order to manage\, pro
 cess\, and analyze data at such a scale. Over the next 10 years both the S
 quare Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope and the LHC experiments at CER
 N will likely generate scientific data at the Exabyte scale. This talk wil
 l describe what has been put in place for LHC \, and the possible synergie
 s between SKA and LHC over the coming years. A collaboration agreement has
  recently been signed between CERN and the SKA to explore these commonalit
 ies. Both of these are global scientific collaborations and\, in many coun
 tries\, will necessarily make use of the same computing infrastructures. T
 he talk will describe some of the aspects of the collaboration and some of
  the ideas being discussed for the future data analysis environments.
