Description
High Energy Physics (HEP) has a long tradition of pushing scientific
computing to its limits. In particular the use of very large datasets has
always been required in order to search for the rare phenomonen of interest
in the field. This presentation will describe the manner in which large
datesets are acquired, processed, managed and analyzed in HEP, using the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as a concrete example.
