Lit Director Vladimir Vasilievich Korenkov elaborated on the projects in which JINR participates in international cooperation. He reminded that the world-level scientific achievement, discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, would be impossible without the distributed infrastructure.

Deputy Director of LIT Tatiana Aleksandrovna Strizh showed the participants of the course and the centres of the Tier-1 and Tier-2 levels operating in Dubna as well as the N.N. Govorun Supercomputer that had been recently brought into operation. The participants visited the monitoring room where all the parameters of these centers are monitored in the real time mode.

Nowadays, the staff of the Laboratory is engaged in the creation of a platform for big data analysis, that is, a universal environment for solving any tasks of this kind. For example, study of the labor market was conducted not by considering the data of the Federal State Statistics Service according to which everything is always fine, but by comparing the data of educational institutions on training of specialists with vacancies posted on websites of recruitment agencies. “When we showed the results obtained by the Ministry of Labour, authorities were very surprised, – Vladimir Korenkov said. – It turned out that in some regions people are trained in specialities that are not in demand in their regions at all, while training courses for necessary specialities are not provided.”

Deputy Director-General of the VoiceLink company Roman Dushkin told to MIC representatives about operation principles of the quantum computer. This device exists hypotheticaly so far bacause technologies that allow quantum computing are still being developed.
