White Rabbit
What is it? White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond accuracy and a precision of a few picoseconds in the synchronisation of large distributed systems. It also allows for deterministic and reliable data delivery. White Rabbit enables you to precision time-tag measured data and lets you trigger data taking in large installations while using the same network to

RUCIO
What is it? Rucio is a project that provides services and associated libraries for allowing scientific collaborations to manage large volumes of data spread across facilities at multiple institutions and organisations. Rucio was originally developed to meet the requirements of the high-energy physics experiment ATLAS, and is now continuously extended to support the LHC experiments

CERN VM-FS: Software distribution made easy
What is it? CERN Virtual Machine File System (CERN VM-FS) is a web-based, global versioning file system optimised for software distribution. The file system content is installed on a central web server from where it can be mirrored and cached by other web servers and web proxies. File system clients download data and meta-data on

ROOT: Analysing petabytes of data, scientifically
What is it? ROOT is a general-purpose framework that provides an object-oriented set of tools with all the functionality needed to handle and analyse large amounts of data in an extremely efficient way. It defines the data as a set of objects, and then specialised storage methods are used to get direct access to the

HLS4ML: Ultra fast machine learning for FPGAs.
What is it? hls4ml is a Python package for machine learning inference in FPGAs. We create firmware implementations of machine learning algorithms using a high-level synthesis language (HLS). We translate traditional open-source machine learning package models into HLS that can be configured for your use-case. Automotive use case How quickly can a computer make sense
