In this video from PASC18, Robert Searles from the University of Delaware presents: Abstractions and Directives for Adapting Wavefront Algorithms to Future Architectures. “Architectures are rapidly evolving, and exascale machines are expected to offer billion-way concurrency. We need to rethink algorithms, languages and programming models among other components in order to migrate large scale applications […]

In this video from PASC18, Alexander Nitz from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany presents: The Search for Gravitational Waves. “The LIGO and Virgo detectors have completed a prolific observation run. We are now observing gravitational waves from both the mergers of binary black holes and neutron stars. We’ll discuss how these […]

In this video from PASC18, Tobias Golling from the University of Geneva presents: Deep Generative Models for Fast Calorimeter Shower Simulations. “Machine Learning techniques have been used in different applications by the HEP community: in this talk, we discuss the case of detector simulation. The need for simulated events, expected in future High Luminosity LHC […]

In this video from PASC18, Maurizio Pierini from CERN presents: Generative Models for Application-Specific Fast Simulation of LHC Collision Events. “We investigate the possibility of using generative models (e.g., GANs and variational autoencoders) as analysis-specific data augmentation tools to increase the size of the simulation data used by the LHC experiments. With the LHC entering […]

In this video from PASC18, Kamil Deja presents: Using Generative Models for Fast Cluster Simulation in TPC Detector for the ALICE Experiment. “Simulation of the events happening in the particle detector is a key component of many High Energy Physics experiments. Currently used Monte Carlo techniques allow to do it accurately, but their precision often […]
