Contributions to a conference proceedings

This contribution outlines the proposed deployment of the JupyterHub platform for use with the HPC cluster at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI), the Helmholtz centre for heavy-ion research in Darmstadt. Particular focus is given to the security considerations in setting up such a service, and the stack of plugins and external software required to integrate it into the HPC cluster at GSI..

With the recent rise of AI and various machine learning models, the importance of storing and managing data generated by control systems is greater than ever before. In 2016, GSI began developing an archiving system to collect, store, and retrieve data from the diverse accelerator devices managed by the GSI control infrastructure. [...]

The FAIR Settings Management System is in productive use at the GSI accelerator facility. The core of the system is developed in collaboration with CERN and is based on CERN’s Software Architecture (LSA) framework. [...]

As the works at FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) progress deeper into the installation and near the commissioning phase, FAIR control system gets closer to its final shape. With many software parts for the accelerator controls completed, valuable experience has been gained from the encountered managerial challenges. [...]
