RSS particleThe 15-petabyte network behind the Cern atom smasher
News Terabytes of data are streaming through dedicated fibre optic links between laboratories and universities globally in preparation for the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), being switched on in August at Cern in... [15 Jul 2008]
A Full Bandwidth Calibrator for a Sound Pressure and Particle Velocity Sensor
White Paper In literature it is shown that it is possible to calibrate a sound pressure and a particle velocity sensor in the free field at higher frequencies. If the sound pressure is measured with a reference microphone the particle velocity can be calculated. [08 Jul 2008]
Gordon Lovell-Read
CIO Profile Relentlessly inquisitive, he has a self-confessed "unhealthy" interest in quantum mechanics and particle physics - driven by a frustration and fascination that we still do not have scientific explanations for a whole range of phenomena. [11 Jun 2008]
MCA Error Recovery: HP-UX Feature for Recovering From Machine Check Aborts
White Paper Some of these problems are caused by transient events such as an alpha particle strike on memory, cache, or a processor data structure. HP Integrity servers provide superior reliability and availability. [05 Jun 2008]
Berners-Lee bigs up the 'semantic web'
News Berners-Lee proposed the world wide web in 1989 while working as a software engineer at the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Speaking at the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce in London... [13 Mar 2008]
UberFlow: A GPU-Based Particle Engine
White Paper This paper presents a system for real-time animation and rendering of large particle sets using GPU computation and memory objects in OpenGL. Memory objects can be used both as containers for geometry data stored on the graphics card and as render... [28 Feb 2008]
London calls time on gas-guzzling vehicles with ANPR
News The charge is £200 for vehicles not complying to Euro III levels for acceptable particle matter. The largest lorries emit between 25 and 40 times the level of harmful particle matter as the average family car for every kilometre driven. [14 Feb 2008]
World's finest tech sites immortalised
News They may have transformed man's understanding of the universe but the monumental impact of the world's first large radio telescope and the planet's largest particle physics lab has never been fully recognised. [22 Jan 2008]
A Case for TCP Vegas in High-Performance Computational Grids
White Paper Computational grids such as the Information Power Grid, Particle Physics Data Grid, and Earth System Grid depend on TCP to provide reliable communication between nodes across a Wide-Area Network (WAN). [14 Jan 2008]
Optimising LAN Access to Grid Enabled Storage Elements
White Paper The worldwide LHC computing grid (WLCG) will distribute this data to over two hundred Tier-1 and Tier-2 computing centres, enabling particle physicists around the globe to access the data for analysis. [11 Jan 2008]
University of Tokyo Sets Land Speed Record
White Paper The challenge was to construct a globe-spanning 10 Gigabit network for researchers at the University of Tokyo and CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva, to collaborate. Japan's WIDE (Widely Integrated Distributed... [02 Dec 2007]
A Quantum Treatment of Public Goods Economics
White Paper This paper describes a quantum approach to the economically significant n-player public goods game that requires only two-particle entanglement and is thus much easier to implement than more general quantum mechanisms. [06 Nov 2007]
Simulation of Flow Field and Particle Trajectories in Hard Disk Drive Enclosures
White Paper The airflow field and particle trajectories inside Hard Disk Drive (HDD) are investigated in this study using commercial software Fluent and Gambit. Based on the computed steady airflow patterns, particle trajectories are computed using routines... [25 Aug 2007]
Will future networks be faster than light-speed?
News But, if the ball was a subatomic particle, subject to quantum laws, it would also behave like a wave. The "wave function" describing the particle would represent the probability of finding it at a certain location. [17 Aug 2007]
Researchers finger "high-emission" printers
News Particle Emission Characteristics of Office Printers, a study by a team of researchers at the Queensland University of Technology, was published in the American Chemical Society's Environmental Science & Technology on Wednesday. [06 Aug 2007]
