IT At the LHC — Managing a Petabyte of Data Per Second
schliz writes "iTnews in Australia has published an interview with CERN's deputy head of IT, David Foster, who explains what last month's discovery of a 'particle consistent with the Higgs Boson' means for the organization's IT department, why it needs a second 'Tier Zero' data center, and how it is using grid computing and the cloud. Quoting: 'If you were to digitize all the information from a collision in a detector, it’s about a petabyte a second or a million gigabytes per second. There is a lot of filtering of the data that occurs within the 25 nanoseconds between each bunch crossing (of protons). Each experiment operates their own trigger farm – each consisting of several thousand machines – that conduct real-time electronics within the LHC. These trigger farms decide, for example, was this set of collisions interesting? Do I keep this data or not? The non-interesting event data is discarded, the interesting events go through a second filter or trigger farm of a few thousand more computers, also on-site at the experiment. [These computers] have a bit more time to do some initial reconstruction – looking at the data to decide if it’s interesting. Out of all of this comes a data stream of some few hundred megabytes to 1Gb per second that actually gets recorded in the CERN data center, the facility we call "Tier Zero."'"
We need backup on floppy disk.
They may also be using something called load balancing, but we're still waiting for sources to confirm.
My wife, a staff physicist at FermiLab in their computing division, manages to keep me humble when I talk about the "big data" work I'm doing in my commercial engineering position. I think having to deal with a billion or so data points per day is big... Not so much in her universe!
But how fast does it run Quake II ?
Scientists have discovered a way to get adequate performance out of Windows?
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
I tried using the GRID - it's deeply embedded in acronyms and crud, practically impossible to use without a PhD. For crying out loud, it's just a batch farm!
I was looking up how complicated the detectors were, and they were. They have 75M directional sensors and 9K energy detectors (calorimeters), each which are analyzed 40M times a second for "interesting" events. One out of a billion maybe recorded for subsequent deep analysis.
News that matters? The human race is not even able to handle itself and it wants to play with atoms.
What do you want to imply?
That, somehow, he who does not know how to debug the kernel should not play with bit operations?
Something like that?
Or, that we should stop researching the structure of the universe, and instead focus on what we usually do, which is making war, screwing other people and post photos of our dicks on teh internet?
Why hold back the smarter ones because of a bunch of morons who can't handle themselves?
The head researcher will STILL come to IT and ask them to please help him sync his outlook contacts to his phone.
So they just used grep
Living up to your name, I see.
Roughly, assuming you can round it off to 53 weeks/year, if you do 1Petabyte/ear, and transferred that much constantly, that would be roughly 2887200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 BITS [individual 1s or 0s] per year
If you believe in privacy, and believe you have "nothing to hide" at the same time, you're a goddammed idiot
Did a bunch of work with some stock exchanges a few years back. It was an interesting environment and I see that CERN had the same problems that the stock exchanges had. They even had the where the number one budgetary item wasn't cost but electric load.
You only had so much power physically available in the data centers next to the exchanges and server rooms inside them. Monetary cost was never an issue, but electric load was everything. It seems funny considering their load is strictly a science based load and not monetary, but their requirements and distribution remind me greatly of the exchanges.
Well, that one should be called a petadick.

Maybe they could offload some of the processing to computing platforms running screensavers the way the SETI project once did and how BitCoin does now.

PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH I NEVER STATED AGAIN? Look, I know based on the "transactions vs. rows" blunder of yours above, you don't read well... however, this "troll tactic" is a bigger "low" for you now.
Plus, 367++ companies (and educational institutions) using Windows is pretty good (though not ALL are high tpm or big data (purely relative term)).
QUESTION: (Answer it YES or NO) Did I even ONCE say "MS IS ALWAY BEST" as to what you're insinuating here?
(Answer that... & I want a quote of my words on that note, and don't even *try* impersonate me, another ac stalker troll tactic, because I want the post to predate this one).

"That's a lot of ranting, APK" - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 03, @11:55AM (#40868921)
WELL, @ least I can read & know it wasn't 7 million ROWS vs. what I put down in TRANSACTIONS, lol ( please - learn to READ!)
Especially again considering that even 7 million rows on 1 table will be added onto via JOINS (multiples make it even worse, especially "nested ones", to be avoided if possible) with key fields in other tables/devices in the software end of things @ the DB & programmatic level for processing (stuff you have no clue in apparently, since you avoided a question I asked of you on that account).
---
1st: You "blew it" here badly too -> http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40868839 and you omitted power redundancy in YOUR rant, and see subject-line above, lol!
Secondly?
"That's a lot of ranting, APK," - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 03, @11:55AM (#40868921)
Take a look @ YOUR posts, for Pete's sake, lol!
(Your "rant" made NO point, because all of what you stated in the high tpm examples I cited with 99.999% uptime using "all of the above" in what you noted, and that you omitted in power redundancy too, as well as specifics on programmatic design)
Which, as I said, you apparently have NO DIRECT EXPERIENCE IN apparently, with "BIG DATA" & i have... for decades now in fact (with one design type/paradigm or another over decades in information systems...).

"but even if satisfactory scalability, redundancy, uptime, and IOPS can be achieved with a Windows/MS-SQL/Hyper-V setup, it still costs a boatload of cash more than the alternative, in terms of hardware, software, and TCO, given equivalent administrative personnel." - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 03, @11:55AM (#40868921)
That's debateable since I've seen case studies that show the cost of maintaining Linux for example can "skyrocket" above the costs for MS' stuff...

Again, too easy... just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2EZ'", & it always is, vs. the ac stalk/harass troll that follows nearly every post I make on /., & when I catch him in a mistake? He'll unjustly downmod my posts when he fails... call it a prediction here too on that note!

You're not pulling the wool over our eyes with your trolling and bad down moderating because you failed so many times here already. See subject. You need to and "reading is fundamental" too, so learn to read next time, and for once, you might make a point. We've all seen you stalk apk by ac posts and blow it against him every time you do that. Don't you get tired of losing so much?

I use facts, and the FACT you & yours "blow it" vs. myself and those facts is your OWN fault, not mine!
NOW, lol, you're using the "std. failed troll modus operandi" of grammar/writing interpretation, which makes me laugh because YOU PROVED YOU CAN'T READ (transactinos vs. rows, anyone? LMAO!)
So, you're trying to pass it off as "poor communication skills" on my end, lol, see above!
That is pretty bad, when you:
---
1.) Tried putting words in my mouth I never stated - that I said "MS IS BEST/ONLY WAY" etc./et al
2.) YOU blew it on rows vs. transactions
3.) Redundancy in power supplies
4.) The fact MS has clustering OS versions & DB engines that handle it also
5.) ... but perhaps most of all, never having DONE such work & I have? ... & more? Please...

The bogus downmods of my posts + stalking me by ac posts alone show "what you're made of/your 'modus operandi'"!
LOL... talk about obvious.
You're full of it, & you FAIILED... no questions asked.
* Again, Thanks for making ME, look good...

(oh come on, can you blame me? It freaking COOL!)
Er, 1 Gb is 100 megabytes. b is bit, B is byte. So which is meant, one gigabit or one gigabyte? I'm guessing the latter, from simple consistency. If we're going to use abbreviations, we should at least get them right.
The summary says it's 100 MByte to 1 Gbit, which is confusing in itself. I think "a few hundred megabytes" is correct. It's impressive to run at that rate continuously with high reliability, but it's nothing compared to Youtube and probably Facebook. If you say a "tweet" takes up 200 bytes including overhead, that's 500 000 tweets per second at 100 MB/s, so maybe even Twitter has to deal with that rate. The requirement for redundancy is probably stricter for the LHC, they have at least triply redundant storage for the original data. The data processing is maybe more demanding for LHC than for big internet companies, as all data are essentially equal, so to do an analysis, all data files have to be accessed (there is more filtering after the trigger, and intermediate files are stored containing reconstructed information).
It's you again.
Listen: Nobody actually reads your incomprehensible bullshit comments. Nobody. Learn to write properly and (most of all) coherently and that might change.
See subject-line & please do. We're still wiping the spittle off our faces from your "FoaMiNg-At-ThE-MouTh" ranting reply! Have some courtesy, & please - DO consider decaf, ok? Thank-You! Being on topic would be nice of you also but, we'll settle for you being banned from the coffee pot first, lol!
Unfortunately that isn't saying much.
HAND.
Actually you're off by 26 orders of magnitude
1PB/s = 8e15 bits/s
8e15 bits/s *(3600s/h) *(24h/day)*(~365.25 days/year) ~= 2.5e23 bits/year
or 252,460,800,000,000,000,000,000 if you prefer counting zeros
even in stereo it'd only be 5e23.
--- Most topics have many sides worth arguing, allow me to take one opposite you.
These posts have opened my eyes, as I never before realised the devious threat of BIG KEYBOARD. They endlessly troll the long winded AC into applying excessive wear and tear on his keyboard, forcing him to purchase replacement after replacement, as even the fabled model M could not withstand such a barrage. While I applaud him single handily holding up the entire keyboard industry through keyboard consumption in these down times, we must remember he is still a victim in the end. Unfortunately, the only recourse may be to join them instead of fighting them, by endorsing a particular brand and being a spokesman demonstrating their keyboards' resilience.
I'll never forget the evils of BIG KEYBOARD now, because I refuse to accept the alternative explanation: a voyeuristic keyboard sadist.
Disprove his points here and if you can? You've made a point http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40867985 and moreso, here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40868627 . Somehow I don't think you will be able to. It's pure facts and those are undeniable. The other anonymous coward trolls like you who probably are you just blew it one after another all though their useless attacks on the man on
transactions vs rows
power redundancy
trying to put words in apk's mouth he never stated ( he asked them to show where he said "only ms is best" and they couldn't though they/you said he did)
Then stalking and harassing\trolling apk by ac posts, then downmodding him wrongly. Slashdot's full of trolls like yourself, and it's funny to watch him shoot you all down endlessly. You must be masochists.
If you think the truth of such facts have any relevance to the post you just replied to, that shows a fundamental naivety far beyond any mistake about databases. While one or more other ACs may fail to understand databases, you seem to repetitively fail to basic reading and social comprehension.
And remember, 1+1=2, it's a fact. These universities all agree. Unless you can disprove this, since it is a fact, it means this post wins and you lose. If you can't disprove such a fact, then you must be a troll (although quite inefficient, usually the trick is to make other people waste more time than you).
You must be in need of medication, as no sane person would be so obsessed about stalking apk. Only a fool missing his medication would continue to deny facts in the face of such a superior opponent.
Until you disproved the facts http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40867985 , it will be your posts that lose. Only a loser would fake being knowledgeable about databases for attention.
Have you ever consider what it would look like to someone who replies to one of your comments for the first time? They might give some polite, or at least terse, constructive criticism, which you do get from time to time. But then you go off about how they are just a sock-puppet, how they put words in your mouth, and about how important facts are. To them it is a pretty obvious fact they were not the other person you claim, that you are putting words in their mouth. In the rare case you get someone to actually engage in the posts you put so much time into, you thoroughly demonstrate to them why others question your sanity, why people avoid or mod you down on sight. You might as well start arguing with yourself if you don't care about the impact of your responses (assuming you don't already, wouldn't be surprising at this point).
Roughly 200++ of them & I post as AC (hard to get even +1, as /. hides our posts & we "AC"'s start @ ZERO/0 points, unlike registered "lusers", lol!):

Give us a break troll. You've been off topic here the entire time trolling. Trying to impersonate others is the sign you're losing badly and you know this. Running from disproving points of fact here is another. I said it before http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875531 and I will say it again: Take your meds!
Also prove that apk uses 'u' instead of 'you'. I haven't seen his posts have that in them and he identifies himself as 'APK'
every post he makes. You prove that here, can you? Didn't think so. You're an off topic troll who is destroying himself which is why you stalk others by ac posts as I noted here earlier that you need medication and have serious mental issues http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875531
Apology for not taking my meds. I admit apk is right and that I am an off topic troll who has issues since apk has gotten the best of me so many times online I have to hide under pure anonymous coward posts off topic the entire time. I am no man, and am truly an anonymous wuss.
I forgot to take my psycho meds. I just did and am sane again. Apologies for going off topic trolling apk and I can't disprove his points.

He reminds me of this dolt named Jeremy Reimer at arstechnica who tries to play the charade of saying he's a writer since he as some dime novel that sells for $2.99 (hahaha) but in truth he lives off his stripper slime wife giving blowjobs for $10 and he does this kind of thing. I think he's gay because they have no kids and he probably blackmails her into the deal. Must be, no kids. On writing though he fails to realize any child by the age of 6 yrs. old can write and he thinks he's special? He's a known forums troll that tries to play science fiction writer and the only fiction is that in his delusions of being a writer, and he knows no science, least of all computer science which is our topic here. Good job on catching his fail on writing. It really did strike a nerve obviously. I'd bet it's Reimer. APK floored him and all of arstechnica outside their private playpen at OSY or Arstechnica over at Windows IT Pro completely. Reimer's too stupid so he brought in Jay Little who was mentioned here already once and APK blew him away on Exchange Servers which Little said he was expert in. Some expert. Then Reimer brought in a guy named Jarrett DeAngelis who posts here as StarKruzr and he ended up agreeing with APK on 99% of what apk stated. Reimer couldn't handle it and has been stalking apk since or trash talking him but only where he has control on his OSY forum or Arstechnica. I think he learned his lesson trying to confront apk outside those private playpens of his.
At least APK stayed on topic. This was funny from him http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 where he made the stalking troll 'eat his words'. Truth and facts do off topic trolls in every time. APK uses that method and it works. I found it amusing here when they are 'writing trolls' and they mess up badly which is ironically hilarious as it was here also http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40876377
How can he get on topic when the off topic ac troll's eating http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 ? Hahahaha.
Eating? Oh, off topic ac trolls' own words he spouted here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40869855 and apk put up verifiable posts of his up mods when the ac troll spewed out nobody reads his posts. I get it. He handed the ac troll his trolling ass on that one.
Only about 120 universities? You must have cherry picked the tiny minority. Although you might be able to find another dozen, it still doesn't disprove the vast majority don't run Windows.
He is still failing to be on topic over here on a new story http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026929&cid=40883775.
APK accepted your apology here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40877707 Now take your meds again. Seems Your last dose is wearing off.
APK accepted your apology here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40877707 Now take your meds again. Seems Your last dose is wearing off.
That apology didn't seem to stick, as he is still spewing stuff in yet another story here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40884103
Facts are facts. Where's yours? They're not. The top of the post is what mattered, in high tpm, proving it can scale to enterprise class loads and across many systems via Clustering and keep 99.999% uptime while doing so. Just facts to support it, rather than hot air anecdotal evidence from you now. There is a difference. A big difference. One that's got you uptight it seems that yes not only nix based OS can do uptime and scale to that level.
Impersonating apk isn't nice of you. Post beneath that shows it. Nice you apologized to apk after you took your meds and got sane again http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40877707 but it appears you need to take them again since your dose is obviously wearing off.
APK made you eat your words http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 hahahaha and since your words were proven full of shit then we know what they must have tasted like.

You resorting to impersonating him (to which the post after that even states people know that wasn't apk in the thread you posted) only makes you eat more of those shit sandwiches (lol) you're eating now.

You'd be stay brief since filling those shit sandwiches (lmao) you keep eating's gotta taste really bad (lol).
The real working world's more of a test than academia and the end goal of it. Academia's for noobz and he stated that all of his examples wouldn't even fit in a single slashdot post - don't you read? Obviously not. There's more obviously based on that and everyone knows that Windows absolutely crushes Linux in combined desktop + server marketshare combined. That's an industry established fact. Get real. Keep eating those shit sandwiches filled full of your words that you keep eating which obviously are shit.
What' worse, impersonating APK to say more of the same, or impersonating an apology? Isn't an apology empty if you fake it yourself?
Looks like it is failing in the real world of video games over here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40884103.
Facts are facts, but you're the one just giving anecdotal evidence. Just a short list of universities and states that fall so far short of a significant fraction.
See the link I post below and the one parent to it before it http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 which proves APK made you the ac stalking harassing troll eat your words, easily, for shooting your mouth off as you did erroneously.
TOO many along the lines of "Windows != Secure, & Linux = Secure", right? Well.... 2011-2012 show a WEE bit differently! Time for you to "eat your words" yet again (complete by being spiced with "the bitter taste of SELF-DEFEAT" & of course, your foot in your mouth once more)!

A tip from a friend and supporter: the AC troll is doing it again on a third story here
Looks more like APK just gave up and is copy pasting things now. That or he has a fetish for eating words.
That wasn't a troll, that was APK unable to contain his fail to just one or even two stories.
APK made you eat your words here lol http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 in your post prior to it. How do they taste considering they're flavored with "the bitter taste of YOUR SELF-DEFEAT" and your foot in YOUR mouth when you shot it off in the post he replied to. Rotflmao. How many times has he shot you down that you are forced to post as anonymous coward since you're afraid to get shot down under your registered user account here (doubtless one of many sock puppets you keep)? Too many. You know it, I know it, and anyone reading (many did) know it.
He said all wouldn't fit and used netcraft as proof. Not anecdotal. Can't you read? You had zero proof with cited backing like he did with netcraft and other reputable sources, and say that he posted mere unsubstantiated anecdotes like you did? LMAO!
Looks like he's forced you to post as anonymous coward too. After all, you're the one complaining about being stalked and downmodded. If the AC trolls hadn't won, you would be posting here with an account and be modded up.
AC made APK eat his words here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40883639
Well, since I made the apology, I am the one that can take it back. Apology rescinded.
APK made you eat your words http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 hahahaha.
AC made APK eat his words first here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40883639
No, APK made you eat your words first http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753.
APK keeps eating his words http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753.
Nope, it was APK that made you eat your words http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 hahahaha and since your words were proven full of shit then we know what they must have tasted like.
Still won't acknowledge that AC made APK eat his words here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40883639
He doesn't have to, because APK made you eat your words http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 hahahaha and since your words were proven full of shit then we know what they must have tasted like.
Can't you both eat words in fucking silence?
You're shot down yet again here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40886979 stating links apk put up here (which are the original data, not what an impostor screwed up on there in the post parent to them all over there impersonating apk there http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40884103 which is missing using Baylor like APK did here, for colleges). The ac troll there said state and collegiate siets weren't running Windows for state governments and for academic institutions. They are, since others checked them. You fail trolls and make Linux users look like a pack of lying women.
They've sunk to new lows and are sinking their own ship http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40887471
Linux trolls are though caught lying here http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40887471 as well as impersonating apk in another thread (but they missed Baylor data apk put up here in this discussion during their cut and paste ) and lies about how data apk put up here didn't show Windows\IIS running on state government and collegiate servers apk posted. Netcraft data showed otherwise. Penguin ac trolls sank to new lows and sank their own ship doing it.
AC trolls have been caught impersonating him 2x here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026929&cid=40883775 and here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40884103 , that's just another one so that's no fact. It's just more ac troll garbage.
"what' worse"? Grammar troll, grammar! Now, eat your words http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753
APK only had to post once to make you eat your words troll http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753 lmao.

LMAO - You later also tried to say that Linux was running on those servers & it was NOT and IS still not, by altering the data here in that other thread -> http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40888699
However - The actual netcraft links I posted afterwards (which you would NOT post) show otherwise! Since I posted right after that to shoot you down in your lies and deceitful b.s. -> http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026917&cid=40890277

Additionally:
As far as the YEARS of /. propoganda of "Linux = Secure, Windows !=Secure"? I can only put out Linux's fails from 2011-2012 also:
2012:
Medicaid hack update: 500,000 records and 280,000 SSNs stolen:

So, what's dts.utah.gov running everyone?
LINUX (and yes, it got HACKED) -> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=dts.utah.gov
What's health.utah.gov running too??
YOU GUESSED IT: LINUX AGAIN -> http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=health.utah.gov
* Ah, yes - see the YEARS OF /. "BS" FUD is CRUMBLING AROUND THE PENGUINS EARS HERE & 2012's starting out just like 2011 did below!

2011:
KERNEL.ORG COMPROMISED - The Cracking of Kern
I'd like to know what their infrastructure looks like for storing that 1GB/s.
I was at OpenWorld in 2003 and they had some guy there from CERN giving a talk about how they were using Oracle9i (I read later that they upgraded to 10g, but no-doubt they upgrade to later versions relatively quickly), and he did mention that petabyte/s buzzword. It would be very interesting to know how it was all implemented, and how they manage to write 1GB/s to disk. Must be some serious RAC clustering going on, and some serious disk bandwidth capacity, but I wonder when they purge the data. After all, 1GB/s is going to require massive storage, and if you've gone with one of the big boys for storage like NetApp then it won't only be their research that could be termed as 'astronomical'.
