High renewable penetration has significantly reduced system inertia in modern power grids, increasing the need for fast frequency response (FFR) from distributed and non-traditional resources. While electric vehicles (EVs), data centers,…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has generated in the last decade an unprecedented volume of data for the High-Energy Physics (HEP) field. Scientific collaborations interested in analysing such data very often require computing power…
CERN is now setting up String 2, a full-size prototype of a regular cell of the LHC arc. It is composed of two quadrupole, six dipole magnets, and a separate cryogenic distribution line (QRL) for the supply and recovery of the cryogen. An…
The next generation of High Energy Physics experiments are expected to generate exabytes of data---two orders of magnitude greater than the current generation. In order to reliably meet peak demands, facilities must either plan to provision…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving unprecedented growth in data center (DC) scale and power demand. AI workloads impose highly dynamic, difficult-to-forecast power profiles on the utility grid, creating reliability and stability…
The installation of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) presents unprecedented challenges to experiments like the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) in terms of event rate, integrated luminosity and therefore radiation exposures. To…
Between 2025 and 2027, some essential components of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector - most notably the tracker and the calorimeter endcap - will be upgraded to prepare for HL-LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider) conditions.…
This report evaluates the new analytical capabilities of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) [1] through the use of standard Hadoop workloads. In particular, we run experiments with CPU and I/O bound micro-benchmarks as well as OLAP-style analytical…
To extract physics results from the recorded data, the LHC experiments are using Grid computing infrastructure. The event data processing on the Grid requires scalable access to non-event data (detector conditions, calibrations, etc.)…
Distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems were developed to reduce labour costs, and to allow system-wide monitoring and remote control from a central location. Control systems are widely…
Fermilab has traditionally not been an EPICS house; as such expertise in EPICS is limited and scattered. PIP-II will be using EPICS for its control system. When in operation, it will need to interface with the existing, modernized (see…
SCTE intends to provide a simple, yet powerful, framework for building data acquisition and equipment control systems for experimental Physics, and correlated areas. Via its SCTE::Instrument module, RS-232, USB, and LAN buses are supported,…
In this work the use of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) to model the design of a Detector Control System (DCS) in a High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiment is proposed. We include a brief description of the wide diversity of elements and…
Louisiana State University Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) began a control system upgrade project in early 1997. At the time, the storage ring was controlled by a VAX/VMS system, primarily using CAMAC for I/O. The…
The efficient exploitation of worldwide distributed storage and computing resources available in the grids require a robust, transparent and fast deployment of experiment specific software. The approach followed by the CMS experiment at…
