Argonne is Supercomputing Big Data from the Large Hadron Collider

Over at Argonne, Madeleine O'Keefe writes that the Lab is supporting CERN researchers working to interpret Big Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle accelerator. The LHC is expected to output 50 petabytes of data this year alone, the equivalent to nearly 15 million high-definition movies-an amount so enormous that analyzing it all poses a serious challenge to researchers.
