[EN] Going Large - CERN VM/VMFS - Laura Promberger, Jakob Blomer

ENGLISH EDITION: There are a lot of "large" things at CERN, including the amount of data produced and the software needed to manage and analyse them. In this episode I talk to Laura Promberger and Jakob Blomer from the CERN virtual machine/file system VM/VMFS project about how this set of tools is helping researchers. And not just physicists, as CERN VM/VMFS is also used in other areas of the high performance computing community.Links:https://cernvm.cern.ch Home page for CERN VM/VMFShttps://ep-rnd.web.cern.ch/index.php/person/jakob-blomer Jakob Blomerhttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Laura-Promberger Laura Promberger publicationshttps://www.eessi.io the EESSI libraryhttps://www.zlib.net/zlib_tech.html ZLIB compression libraryhttps://github.com/facebook/zstd Facebook's zstd compression libraryhttps://alliancecan.ca/en Digital Alliance of Canada (one of the CERN VM/VMFS users)https://home.cern/science/accelerators/high-luminosity-lhc "High-luminosity" LHC (large hadron collider)https://cern70.cern CERN 70th birthday home pageGet in touchThank you for listening!
