Grid computer farm
Grid supercomputers. Fish-eye lens view of a room packed with supercomputers, forming a " PC farm" with immense processing power. These computers are at CERN, the European Particle Physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. They are being prepared to accept and analyse data from the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC will smash particles together in an effort to find their constituents, and will generate millions of gigabytes of data. This is also being used as a test run for The Grid, a network of computers that can share processing power. This means that a standard desktop computer connected to The Grid can be used to perform powerful calculations

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive grid computer farm at CERN, the European Particle Physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. With a fish-eye lens view, this image reveals a room filled to the brim with supercomputers that collectively form a PC farm boasting immense processing power. These cutting-edge machines are being meticulously prepared to accept and analyze data from the groundbreaking Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is an ambitious scientific endeavor aiming to unravel the mysteries of particle physics by colliding particles together. This collision will generate an astonishing amount of data, reaching millions of gigabytes. To handle this colossal task, scientists have developed The Grid – a network of interconnected computers capable of sharing their processing power. Notably, this setup serves as both a preparation for analyzing LHC's data and as a test run for The Grid itself. By leveraging The Grid's capabilities, even standard desktop computers connected to it can perform powerful calculations previously reserved only for supercomputers. This photograph not only highlights Europe's technological prowess but also emphasizes the significance of collaboration and innovation in pushing scientific boundaries forward. As we witness these remarkable advancements in computer hardware and computing technology at CERN's grid computer farm, we catch a glimpse into humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding on an unprecedented scale.
