Parallel Computing with ROOT and PROOF

 

 

Tuesday 7 March

 
15:05 - 16:00

Lecture 5

Parallel computing with ROOT and PROOF

 

Marek Biskup

Yushu Yao

The lecture consists of two parts. In the first one Yushu Yao presents the ROOT framework as a platform for portable programming. In the second part Marek Biskup describes the PROOF subsystem, which allows parallel data analysis with ROOT.

The lecture is intended for physicists interested in speeding up their analysis by spreading calculations on a cluster of computers. It will also be interesting for computer scientists willing to learn the internals of a parallel application.

No knowledge of the ROOT framework is required but the vocabluary used in the first four lectures may be helpful for understanding all details.
