A public data service for the Beam Interlock Systems at CERN - current status and future plans
/ Garnier, Jean-Christophe (CERN) ; Barth, Jonas (CERN) ; Galilée, Marc-Antoine (CERN) ; Wollmann, Daniel (CERN) ; Buszydlik, Aleksander (CERN) ; Skarhed, Tobias (CERN)
The Beam Interlock System (BIS) is the backbone of the machine protection system in CERN’s accelerator chain, ensuring that the beams are safely transported through the injector chain and circulated in the Large Hadron Collider. A new version of the BIS is currently under development and planned to be deployed in the SPS, LHC and the North Area experimental zone during the Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), while the recently installed BIS in LINAC4 and the PSB will remain in place.

A Modernized Architecture for the Post Mortem System at CERN
/ Barth, Jonas (CERN) ; Bogyai, Filip (CERN) ; Garnier, Jean-Christophe (CERN) ; Majewski, Marcin (CERN) ; Martins Ribeiro, Tiago (CERN) ; Mnich, Aleksandra (CERN) ; Pocwierz, Maciej (CERN) ; Selvek, Robert (CERN) ; Simpson, Robert (CERN) ; Stanisz, Anita (CERN) et al.
The control system of the accelerators at CERN stores and analyzes more than 200 million dumps of high resolution data recordings every year in the Post Mortem (PM) system. A continuous increase in the complexity of the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) systems and the desire to collect more accurate data requires continuous improvement of the PM system. [...]

Summary of the Post-Long Shutdown 2 LHC Hardware Commissioning Campaign
/ Apollonio, Andrea (CERN) ; Andreassen, Odd (CERN) ; Antoine, Alain (CERN) ; Argyropoulos, Theodoros (CERN) ; Bastos, Miguel (CERN) ; Bednarek, Mateusz (CERN) ; Bordini, Bernardo (CERN) ; Brodzinski, Krzysztof (CERN) ; Calia, Andrea (CERN) ; Charifoulline, Zinour (CERN) et al.
In this contribution we provide a summary of the LHC hardware commissioning campaign following the second CERN Long Shutdown (LS2), initially targeting the nominal LHC energy of 7 TeV. A summary of the test procedures and tools used for testing the LHC superconducting circuits is given, together with statistics on the successful test execution. [...]

Optimizing distributed file storage and processing engines for CERN's Large Hadron Collider using multi criteria partitioned replication
/ Boychenko, Serhiy (CERN) ; Zerlauth, Markus (CERN) ; Garnier, Jean-Christophe (CERN) ; Zenha-Rela, Mario (Coimbra U.)
Throughout the last decades, distributed file systems and processing engines have been the primary choice for applications requiring access to large amounts of data. Since the introduction of the MapReduce paradigm, relational databases are being increasingly replaced by more efficient and scalable architectures, in particular in environments where a query is expected to process TBytes or even PBytes of data in a single execution. [...]

Evaluation of an SFP Based Test Loop for a Future Upgrade of the Optical Transmission for CERN’s Beam Interlock System
/ Secondo, Raffaello (CERN) ; Galilée, Marc-Antoine (CERN) ; Garnier, Jean-Christophe (CERN) ; Martin, Christophe (CERN) ; Romera, Iván (CERN) ; Siemko, Andrzej (CERN) ; Uythoven, Jan (CERN)
The Beam Interlock System (BIS) is the backbone of CERN’s machine protection system. The BIS is responsible for relaying the so-called Beam Permit signal, initiating in case of need the controlled removal of the beam by the LHC Beam Dumping System. [...]

Renovation and extension of supervision software leveraging reactive streams
/ Galilée, Marc-Antoine (CERN) ; Calia, Andrea (CERN) ; Do, Janet (CERN) ; Fuchsberger, Kajetan (CERN) ; Garnier, Jean-Christophe (CERN) ; Krol, Kamil (CERN) ; Osinski, Maciej (CERN) ; Pocwierz, Maciej (CERN) ; Ribeiro, Tiago (CERN) ; Stanisz, Anita (CERN) et al.
Inspired by the recent developments of reactive programming and the ubiquity of the concept of streams in modern software industry, we assess the relevance of a reactive streams solution in the context of accelerator controls. The promise of reactive streams, to govern the exchange of data across asynchronous boundaries at a rate sustainable for both the sender and the receiver, is alluring to most data-centric processes of CERN's accelerators.

Multi-criteria partitioning on distributed file systems for efficient accelerator data analysis and performance optimization
/ Boychenko, Serhiy (CERN) ; Galilee, Marc-Antoine (CERN) ; Garnier, Jean-Christophe (CERN) ; Zenha-Rela, Mario (Coimbra U.) ; Zerlauth, Markus (CERN)
Since the introduction of the MapReduce paradigm, relational databases are being increasingly replaced by more efficient and scalable architectures, in particular in environments where a query will process Terabtes or even Petabytes of data in a single execution. The same tendency is observed at CERN, where data archiving systems for operational accelerator data are already working well beyond their initially provisioned capacity. [...]
