Digital Technologies and Intelligent Data Analysis in Large Scientific Projects

JINR has a long record of successful participation in forefront external experiments in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Physics, Particle Physics and Neutrino Physics. The JINR IT-infrastructure has been developed in close connection with CERN and other Institutes of Nuclear and High Energy Physics. JINR is a strong part in the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), which represents a geographically distributed computing environment for processing and storing experimental data of all the LHC experiments, and is capable of managing hundreds of petabytes of data, providing access to the entire community to computing resources and data storage systems and integrating national and international structures.

The JINR research program for the next decades is aimed at conducting ambitious and large-scale experiments on the Institute’s basic facilities and in the framework of worldwide cooperation. The program is connected with the implementation of the NICA megaproject, the construction of new experimental facilities, the JINR neutrino program, the modernization of the LHC experimental facilities and the programs on condensed matter physics and nuclear physics.

The implementation of the projects mentioned above entails the development of IT infrastructure, including distributed grid computing, supercomputing, cloud computing, distributed data storage, as well as methods and technologies for processing and storing growing volumes of data. Particular attention should be paid for training highly qualified IT specialists, able to elaborate algorithmic and software solutions for mega-science projects.
