Exploiting big data and machine learning techniques for LHC experiments

Objective

Large international scientific collaborations will face in the near future unprecedented computing and data challenges. The analysis of multi-PetaByte datasets at CMS, ATLAS, LHCb and Alice, the four experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), requires a global federated infrastructure of distributed computing resources. The HL-LHC, the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC, is expected to deliver 100 times more data than the LHC, with corresponding increase of event sizes, volumes and complexity. Modern techniques for big data analytics and machine learning (ML) are needed to cope with such unprecedented data stream. Critical areas that will strongly benefit from ML are data analysis, detector operation including calibration and monitoring, and computing operations. Aim of this project is to provide the LHC community with the necessary tools to deploy ML solutions through the use of open cloud technologies such as the INDIGO-DataCloud services. Heterogeneous technologies (systems based on multi-cores, GPUs, ...) and opportunistic resources will be integrated. The developed tools will be experiment-independent to promote the exchange of common solutions among the various LHC experiments. The benefits of such an approach will be demonstrated in a real world use case, the optimization of the computing operations for the CMS experiment. In addition, once available, the tools to deploy ML as a service can be easily transferred to other scientific domains that have the need to treat large data streams.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI FISICA NUCLEARE
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
