Abstract

The analysis and visualization of the LHC data is a good example of human interaction with petabytes of inhomogeneous data. After outlining the computational requirements for an efficient analysis of such data sets, a proposal, RAVEN - a Random Access, Visualization and Exploration Network for petabyte sized data sets, for a scalable architecture meeting these demands is presented. The proposed hardware basis is a network of "CSR"-units based on off-the-shelf components, which combine Computing, data Storage and Routing functionalities. At the software level efficient protocols for broadcasting information, data distribution and information collection are required, together with a middleware layer for data processing.
