    Smarter decisions at the speed of physics

    Smart and fast decision making is key when dealing with the onslaught of collisions at the LHC. At the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the ATLAS and CMS experiments are expected to process detector data at rates corresponding to roughly a quarter of the 2025 global internet traffic. All in real time, as part of the
