Machine Learning at the Edge of Scale and Speed: Nanosecond Inference at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Wednesday Mar 18 / 10:35AM GMT

The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces O(10,000) exabytes of raw data annually from high-energy proton collisions. Handling this volume under strict compute and storage limits requires real-time event filtering capable of processing millions of collisions per second.
