Optimising floating point workshop – Registrations open!
—
Scientific applications in high energy physics depend in many areas on floating point operations in single, double or even higher precision. With the upcoming runs at the LHC, both the amount of data and the precision for its calculation will increase significantly and therefore the computing resource requirements. It has already been proven that the…

Tackling Negative Weights in High-Energy Physics Simulations
—
Last week, from May 5 to 8, researchers from across the high-energy physics community gathered at CERN to take on a thorny problem in modern event generation: negative weights. As computing demands rise with the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), so too does the urgency to make Monte Carlo (MC) simulations more efficient. Negative weights—an artefact of…
