Grid computing is a distributed computing paradigm which aims to aggregate several heterogeneous and distributed resources, belonging to different and independent organizations, in a dynamic, transparent and coordinated way. Since its…
Today, organizations typically perform tedious and costly tasks to juggle their code and data across different data processing platforms. Addressing this pain and achieving automatic cross-platform data processing is quite challenging…
Machine Learning (ML) will play significant role in success of the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) program at CERN. The unprecedented amount of data at the Exa-Byte scale to be collected by the CERN experiments in next decade will…
Every year the PHENIX collaboration deals with increasing volume of data (now about 1/4 PB/year). Apparently the more data the more questions how to process all the data in most efficient way. In recent past many developments in HEP…
Heterogeneous clusters with nodes containing one or more accelerators, such as GPUs, have become common. While MPI provides inter-address space communication, and OpenCL provides a process with access to heterogeneous computational…
We present HiCR, a model to represent the semantics of distributed heterogeneous applications and runtime systems. The model describes a minimal set of abstract operations to enable hardware topology discovery, kernel execution, memory…
As organizations move toward production deployments of AI agents, which execute non-deterministic workflows, maintain stateful sessions, and often operate with privileged access to internal services, the engineering challenge shifts from…
Computational grids that couple geographically distributed resources are becoming the de-facto computing platform for solving large-scale problems in science, engineering, and commerce. Software to enable grid computing has been primarily…
Metaverse is an emerging virtual universe where humans can have real-time interactions and solid social links like in the physical world, and it opens up a new era of Internet and interactions. In Metaverse, an immersive and photorealistic…
We present an evaluation of the European Data Grid software in the framework of the BaBar experiment. Two kinds of applications have been considered: first, a typical data analysis on real data producing physics n-tuples, and second, a…
The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) provides the robust computing infrastructure essential for the LHC experiments by integrating global computing resources into a cohesive entity. Simulations of different compute models present a…
Dealing with a growing amount of data is a crucial challenge for the future of information and communication technologies. More and more devices are expected to transfer data through the Internet, therefore new solutions have to be designed…

Geometrical modelling generally provides the geometrical description of a special structure and a set of services to "navigate" through its structure. HEP geometrical modellers are designed to handle high complexity detector geometries and…
As software systems are getting increasingly connected, there is a need for equipping nonmonotonic logic programs with access to external sources that are possibly remote and may contain information in heterogeneous formats. To cater for…
We present Rhino, a system for accelerating tensor programs with automatic parallelization on AI platform for real production environment. It transforms a tensor program written for a single device into an equivalent distributed program…
Blockchain is an emerging technology that enables new forms of decentralized software architectures, where distributed components can reach agreements on shared system states without trusting a central integration point. Blockchain provides…
The globally distributed computing infrastructure required to cope with the multi-petabytes datasets produced by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN comprises several subsystems, such as…
This work considers the problem of finding analytical expressions for the expected values of dis- tributed computing performance metrics when the underlying communication network has a complex structure. Through active probing tests a real…
We are introducing Aligned, a platform for global governance and alignment of frontier models, and eventually superintelligence. While previous efforts at the major AI labs have attempted to gather inputs for alignment, these are often…
