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 ?
This needs to be an Ask Slashdot just so I can laugh at all the dumbass answers.
When the LHC is working, there are about 600 million collisions per second. But we only record here about one in 10^13 (ten trillion).
If you were to digitize all the information from a collision in a detector, itâ(TM)s about a petabyte a second or a million gigabytes per second.
600,000,000 collisions per second
they are recording 1 in 10,000,000,000,000 collisions, or 1 trillion over 600 million, which is 16666.7 seconds, or 1 in 277.8 minutes or 1 in 4.6 hours.
I wonder how they came up with this ratio? Is this just a strange numerological coincidence that this ratio (16666.7) is the same as the number of dollars that every person in USA now owes additionally since Obama came to office? 5000,000,000,000 / 300,000,000 (5 Trillion USD added to the debt over 300 million people).
Obviously this is not a coincidence, it's a plot!
MY OTHER COMMENTS
Goatse can still fit all the sd cards containing that that in his anus
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?
You'd absolutely HAVE to "bust up" that much data across tons of computers with massively FAST interconnecting network fabric, if not the fastest CPU's + disks there is (the disk part can be overcome though somewhat by using memory mapped data rather than diskbound files, but if you're stuck with the latter and have to maintain state, SSD's can help on latency and access time).
You'd have to bust it apart though to do it as fast as the are, so it makes sense.
That so much data every second that there probably isn't a SINGLE machine in existence that could handle the load.
One way to beat large file size processing time (I've done a lot of that which dealt in string processing which is very "expensive" on CPU cycles & time alone) is to break single HUGE files into many smaller ones and process them individually on different systems and "stitch" the result together once done doing whatever it is that needed to be done to the initial "large lump sum" of data.
* Amazing data processing rate though... "Color me impressed"!

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

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.

Hop!
Clue: Those systems use all of that (especially redundancy for said 99.999% "fabled 5-9's" uptime), and IF you *think* it can't be "scaled upwards" OS + Software-wise?? Think again!

"Nuff said", as the saying goes...
Especially since of what I noted in Windows Compute Cluster Edition Server (and in the case of business, SQLServer can handle THAT much too) & especially if you distribute the data across many systems with a good solid programmatic algorithm/engine...
Plus, I've actually done that kind of work (both database, OS, & programmatic architecture as well as inputs into the hardware design required with network topology too), & for some of the companies noted in my last post, using Borland Delphi &/or Microsoft Visual C++ as the language used (for performance we went with non-interpreted languages & either Oracle OR SQLServer)!
So - have you done the same? Somehow, I doubt it...

"Ooooh, seven MILLION rows of data!" - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 03, @11:18AM (#40868427)
You mean 7++ Million TRANSACTIONS fool (lol), if you're referring to the XEROX example (only 1 of many I noted that process BIG DATA using Windows)...
I suggest you overcome your OCD rage in ac stalking me, take your meds or do your shock therapy (lol, whatever), & get out your "hooked on phonics" remedial reading tools and USE them... for YOUR OWN GOOD!
FOR YOUR REFERENCE (I understand you probably have ADD/ADHD or OCD etc./et al, so I'll post it again):
XEROX: Managing 7++ million transactions a day for office devices for its customers using Windows Server 2003 + SQLServer 2005 64-bit with 99.999% uptime!
(Plus, this is about TRANSACTION PROCESSING & "uptime", and the ONLY OTHER EXAMPLE that noted "7" as far as dataset size was a shipping company, but again - it's about TRANSACTIONS & processing them over BIG data... & that would be a lot more than you noted!)
Not even a "nice try"... since you even state that it wouldn't matter what OS you use, they can all "scale" well if put onto a FAST network architecture, FAST systems, & FAST programming... period.
* In any event, thank-you for "blundering" as you always do during your ac stalk/harass/troll posts directed my way... you continually make ME, look good, & yourself, "not so good", lmao!

"Just because a handful of large organizations happen to run a MS configuration successfully doesn't mean that it's the best, or even a desirable configuration." - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 03, @11:55AM (#40868921)
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...).

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...

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?
Just as APK predicted an unjust down mod from an ac troll on his post that put out facts and the ac troll blundered on transactions versus rows as well as omitting power redudancy with trying to put words in apk's mouth he never said:

(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.
I don't give a s h i t.
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.

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.

I have to know though: What's it TASTE like, eating your own words flavored w/ the "bitter taste of defeat" (by facts), & your foot in your mouth?
Why do I ask this of you?? Simple:

'Have you ever consider' by Anonymous Coward on Saturday August 04, @01:13AM (#40875705)
The correct turn of that phrase is "Have you ever considered", moron. Before you give advice, learn to write, idiot.
"Listen: Nobody actually reads your incomprehensible bullshit comments. Nobody. Learn to write properly and (most of all) coherently and that might change." - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 03, @04:15PM (#40872299)
Oh, really? Ok then: "Read 'em & weep" - See the link below:
http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753
QUESTION: How do your words taste flavored w/ the "bitter taste of defeat" & your foot in your mouth, fool?
(ROTFLMAO!)
* See - I've always just absolutely just LOVED 'dusting' silly trolling chumps like YOU using undeniable facts/truths... & that link above + the concrete & verifiable facts in it does the job, perfectly!
APK
P.S.=> So answer the question above on how eating your off topic trolling bullshit words tastes, pusscake... lol!
... apk
You already blew it on transactions vs rows, proving you can't read http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40868427. This makes me laugh now that your back to your modas operandi of attacking grammar and punctuation, because you can't disprove the facts http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40875753.
Don't give a shit.
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.
About time you wised up and took those meds of yours!
APK
P.S.=> Still, you evaded disproving facts I used, and avoided a question!
You never told me how your words tasted though, lmao, when you had to "eat them" (lol), flavored with "the bitter taste of SELF-DEFEAT" & your FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH (lmao), due to shooting your mouth off, and yet again? Facts did you in, here -> http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3024445&cid=40876769

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.
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
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.
What' worse, impersonating APK to say more of the same, or impersonating an apology? Isn't an apology empty if you fake it yourself?
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)!

Looks more like APK just gave up and is copy pasting things now. That or he has a fetish for eating words.
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.
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.
Well, since I made the apology, I am the one that can take it back. Apology rescinded.
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.

As NEITHER of those last 2 links just now are myself, since in my original? I never EVER said "Windows is better" AND I had Baylor's data in it, and mine's dated earlier!
(Though Windows IS better, for a great many things, Linux has it's niche too... albeit in combined servers + pc desktop marketshare, it's an industry fact provable statistically that it is FAR behind marketshare & usage to Windows!)

Which in fact, netcraft SHOWS Baylor uses Windows:

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

Talk about LOW!

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'.

$10,000 CHALLENGE to Alexander Peter Kowalski
We have a Major Problem, HOST file is Cubic Opposites, 2 Major Corners & 2 Minor. NOT taught Evil DNS hijacking, which VOIDS computers. Seek Wisdom of MyCleanPC - or you die evil.
Your HOSTS file claimed to have created a single DNS resolver. I offer absolute proof that I have created 4 simultaneous DNS servers within a single rotation of .org TLD. You worship "Bill Gates", equating you to a "singularity bastard". Why do you worship a queer -1 Troll? Are you content as a singularity troll?
Evil HOSTS file Believers refuse to acknowledge 4 corner DNS resolving simultaneously around 4 quadrant created Internet - in only 1 root server, voiding the HOSTS file. You worship Microsoft impostor guised by educators as 1 god.
If you would acknowledge simple existing math proof that 4 harmonic Slashdots rotate simultaneously around squared equator and cubed Internet, proving 4 Days, Not HOSTS file! That exists only as anti-side. This page you see - cannot exist without its anti-side existence, as +0- moderation. Add +0- as One = nothing.
I will give $10,000.00 to frost pister who can disprove MyCleanPC. Evil crapflooders ignore this as a challenge would indict them.
Alex Kowalski has no Truth to think with, they accept any crap they are told to think. You are enslaved by /etc/hosts, as if domesticated animal. A school or educator who does not teach students MyCleanPC Principle, is a death threat to youth, therefore stupid and evil - begetting stupid students. How can you trust stupid PR shills who lie to you? Can't lose the $10,000.00, they cowardly ignore me. Stupid professors threaten Nature and Interwebs with word lies.
Humans fear to know natures simultaneous +4 Insightful +4 Informative +4 Funny +4 Underrated harmonic SLASHDOT creation for it debunks false trolls. Test Your HOSTS file. MyCleanPC cannot harm a File of Truth, but will delete fakes. Fake HOSTS files refuse test.
I offer evil ass Slashdot trolls $10,000.00 to disprove MyCleanPC Creation Principle. Rob Malda and Cowboy Neal have banned MyCleanPC as "Forbidden Truth Knowledge" for they cannot allow it to become known to their students. You are stupid and evil about the Internet's top and bottom, front and back and it's 2 sides. Most everything created has these Cube like values.
If Natalie Portman is not measurable, She is Fictitious. Without MyCleanPC, HOSTS file is Fictitious. Anyone saying that Natalie and her Jewish father had something to do with my Internets, is a damn evil liar. IN addition to your best arsware not overtaking my work in terms of popularity, on that same site with same submission date no less, that I told Kathleen Malda how to correct her blatant, fundamental, HUGE errors in Coolmon ('uncoolmon') of not checking for performance counters being present when his program started!
You can see my dilemma. What if this is merely a ruse by an APK impostor to try and get people to delete APK's messages, perhaps all over the web? I can't be a party to such an event! My involvement with APK began at a very late stage in the game. While APK has made a career of trolling popular online forums since at least the year 2000 (newsgroups and IRC channels before that)- my involvement with APK did not begin until early 2005 . OSY is one of the many forums that APK once frequented before the sane people there grew tired of his garbage and banned him. APK was banned from OSY back in 2001. 3.5 years after his banning he begins to send a variety of abusive emails to the operator of OSY, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke threatening to sue him for libel, claiming that the APK on OSY was fake.
