HDF5 User Group (HUG) Meeting Agenda 2023

Approx Time	Wednesday, August 16, 2023	Thursday, August 17, 2023	Friday, August 18, 2023
9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.	Marc Paterno, Keynote Speaker The aim of high-energy physicists is to discover the secrets of the physical universe. We do this by studying the universe at both the smallest (elementary particle) and largest (cosmological) scales. We try to answer questions like: What is the universe made of? What forces govern it? How did it become the way it is today? Scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) are engaged in investigating answers to all these questions. The scientists that try to answer these questions use some of the most complex machines ever built (such as the Large Hadron Collider, a ring of more than 10 thousand magnets with a circumference of more than 16 miles) and some of the largest detectors (such as the NOvA detector, a 14 kiloton mostly plastic structure at which particles are shot from 500 miles away). They generate enormous data sets which present significant computing challenges (the Dark Energy Survey took more than 150 thousand images at 350 million pixels per image). Dr. Paterno has been involved with such research at Fermilab since 1989, and in the computing challenges presented in such research since 1999. Over this time, computing work in high energy physics has moved from Fortran 77 and batch programs run on 1-MIP workstations to C++ and Python programs run on thousands of distributed nodes or on multi-petaflop supercomputers. He will give a personal view of some of these ongoing research efforts, highlighting their goals and particular data processing challenges they face.
