- Large Hadron Collider restart pushed back again
- The Large Hadron Collider, put out of commission by a quality-control flaw, will be switched on a couple of weeks later than previously expected. The flagship particle accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear Research Cern is to be restarted in October as opposed to September. ...

- Expensive repairs for Large Hadron Collider
- So this Large Hadron Collider thing is a pretty sensitive piece of equipment. An electrical failure shut the great atom smasher down in September after only a few days on the job. It was supposed to be brought back online this month, but now, the BBC reports, the...

- Anti-LHC lawsuit lands in legal black hole
- Anti-LHC lawsuit lands in legal black holeDuh!Somehow I don't think the Swiss government would take kindly to a US Marshal being dispatched to CERN with an order to shut down the reactor.US courts clearly don't have jurisdiction in this case.

- Anti-LHC lawsuit lands in legal black hole
- A lame-brain lawsuit to stop the Large Hadron Collider is dead. U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor has dismissed the suit because U.S. courts have no jurisdiction over the world's biggest atom-smasher based in Switzerland and France and built by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research,...

- LHC shuts down for 2 months over faulty wiring
- Update: CERN now says the LHC won't restart until April. The two-month delay moves the LHC to late November on the calendar, and the machine has to shut down for the winter to avoid huge energy bills. via New York Times The Large...

- (Gallery: Scientists react to Hadron success)Coilliding protons is nothing newAnd nothing to worry about. Humans have been doing it for years, and Nature has been doing it for much longer.As far as the LHC, they have accomplished what they set out to do: build a functioning collider which uses higher...

- Reducing Data Center Energy Consumption
- Improving data center energy efficiency is becoming a fundamental requirement for most organizations, not only to contain operating costs, but also to support growth, extend the life of existing facilities, protect the environment, and address increasing regulatory requirements. Electricity costs are rising fast. Most businesses already spend about half as...

- EPICS CA Gateway Employment in the BEPCII Network
- The EPICS Process Variable Gateway has become a stable, high-performance application that provides access to process variables while minimizing the impact on critical Input-Output Controllers IOCs and implementing additional access security. The additional access security typically prevents write access but is highly configurable. The control network of the BEPCII is...

- An Embedded Epics Controller Based on Ethernet/Serial Box
- The SSRF Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility control system takes the Ethernet as backbone. All kinds of serial devices such as vacuum pumps are connected to Linux IOCs via a kind of Ethernet/serial box made by Moxa company. In the pre-research stage of SSRF, the old model of this Ethernet/serial box...

- Chip bugs can lead to major security disastersChip bugsShamir suggests that it's impractical to test all cases of 64*64-bit multiplication. But given the lifespan of a chip design, and given that the test only needs to be run once, wouldn't it be practical to design a "grid" or "distributed" test,...

- Data corruption is worse than you know
- Many people reacted with disbelief to my recent series on data corruption (see How data gets lost, 50 ways to lose your data and How Microsoft puts your data at risk), claiming it had never happened to them. Really? Never had to reinstall an application, an OS, or had a...
