Integrated Device Technology (IDT) has initiated a three-year collaboration with the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) to use its RapidIO technology.

Integrated Device Technology has entered a three-year collaboration with the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN (Centre Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire), with the goal of using IDT’s RapidIO technology to help improve data acquisition and analysis in some of the world’s most advanced fundamental physics research.

Seagate has partnered with CERN openlab, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, to develop the Seagate Kinetic Open Storage platform. The goal is to help CERN to better manage and store the 100 petabytes of data the Large Hadron Collider has generated to date, as well as the additional 2-3 petabytes of information it produces on a monthly basis in its quest to further humanity’s understanding of the universe.

Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ:IDTI) announced today that it has entered a three-year collaboration with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to use IDT’s RapidIO technology to help improve data acquisition and analysis in some of the world’s most advanced fundamental physics research. Massive volumes of data are collected by the experiments on CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. Teams from IDT and CERN will use the IDT technology to improve the quality and timeliness of this data collection, as well as the initial analysis and reconstruction work at the experiments’ data farms and the CERN Data Centre.
