CERN is where the World Wide Web
was born over 20 years ago …
… And where dizzying challenges in
networking, data processing and storage abound!

Programme of
lectures 2010
|
Not yet
available. In
2009, a special series of 9
lectures were given by CERN and external experts from mid-July to mid
august, on advanced openlab-related topics. In 2010, based on
the 2009 students' feedback, the lectures' programme will focus
more on various domains of CERN related High Throughput
Computing and will be more CERN specific.

Located
just outside Geneva, straddling the border
between Switzerland
and
France, CERN is the world’s leading particle physics
research institute.
CERN explores what matter is made of
and what holds it together by accelerating protons to
a fraction under the speed of light and then
smashing them together. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
has just started and is expected to generate some 15
million gigabytes of data per year. More than ever,
CERN will be a particularly thrilling place this
summer!
Through close collaboration with
leading industrial partners, CERN acquires early
access to technology well before it reaches the
general computing market. CERN openlab is the
framework for evaluating and integrating
cutting-edge IT technologies and services. Together
with our partners, HP, Intel, Oracle and Siemens, we
are working on:
- Computer Server Platforms and Related Software
- Relational Databases
- Network Monitoring Software
- Automation and Controls Software
- Grid Middleware
- Wireless Networks

By joining the CERN openlab's
Student Programme, you
will work with some of the latest hardware and
software technologies and see
how advanced IT solutions are used in high energy
physics.
You will also become acquainted with
other key technologies for industrial and commercial
purposes, through external visits and special
invited talks.
The CERN openlab's
Student Programme is much more than just a summer at
CERN. It can lead to follow-on projects in your home
institute at bachelor's, master's or Ph.D. level. It
may even inspire you to become an entrepreneur
in
cutting-edge computing technologies.
Open up your mind…and
apply.
