CERN and the Wigner Research Centre for Physics inaugurated the CERN Tier-0 data-centre extension in Budapest on 13 June, marking the completion of the facility.
On the same day that the LHC’s first three-year physics run ended, CERN announced that its data centre had recorded more than 100 petabytes (PB) – 100 million gigabytes – of physics data.
Mid-February marked the end of the first three-year run of the LHC. While the machine exceeded all expectations, delivering significantly more data to the experiments than initially foreseen, h...
