Science at the Petascale: Advancing Global Scientific Projects Through Distributed Computing
Research perspectives from those at the cutting edge
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of three global science drivers: the Large Hadron Collider, gravitational wave detection, and the IceCube neutrino observatory, elucidating common patterns in the architecture of their global computing infrastructure. We outline the role AWS can play in these large international projects using advancements in computing technologies as their data volumes explode over the next decade.
When: Wednesday, May 15, 2019 | 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET
