Press releases

Hundreds of scientists from the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are using the technology of the future to process particle physics data today.

Today, in a milestone for scientific computing, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced that the laboratory had sustained a continuous data flow averaging 50 megabytes per second (MB/s) for 25 days from CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to the tape storage facility at Fermilab.
