  • Precision Matters: Unlocking the Future of Floating Point at CERN

    Precision Matters: Unlocking the Future of Floating Point at CERN

    On 1–2 July 2025, the “Optimising Floating Point Precision” Workshop, co-organized by Next Generation Triggers and CERN Openlab, took place at CERN, gathering experts to explore how floating point operations — in single, double, or higher precision — can be optimized for future high-energy physics applications in heterogeneous computing environments. With increasing demands in data…

    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…
