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.
