Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell participating in big science like CERN Hadrian...

"...gigabytes of data per second that they end up keeping, out of the petabytes that are produced in the first place..." Sounds like a good application for lazy evaluation! (Actually, they may have to read over it all to make sure they can throw it away...) On Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 6:47 AM, Dougal Stanton wrote:

Hello,

One of my interests based on my education is "grand challenge science". Ok .. let's take the CERN Hadrian Accelerator.

Where do you think Haskell can fit into the CERN Hadrian effort currently?

Where do you think think Haskell currently is lacking and will have to be improved in order to participate in CERN Hadrian?

Is that the experiment where Picts are accelerated to just short of the speed of light in order to smash through to the Roman Empire? ;-)

I don't know what the main computational challenges are to the LHC researchers. The stuff in the press has mostly been about infrastructure --- how to store the gigabytes of data per second that they end up keeping, out of the petabytes that are produced in the first place (or something).

Cheers,
