In memory of Vladimir Gerdt

On 24 May, in our Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies JINR, the 22nd Workshop on Computer Algebra started.
The current event is dedicated to the memory of Professor Vladimir Petrovich Gerdt, a famous specialist in the fields of computer algebra and quantum computing, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Head of the Sector of Algebraic and Quantum Computing of the MLIT JINR Scientific Department of Computing Physics, who died on 5 January 2021.
The audience honoured the memory of the scientist with a minute of silence.
Opening the Workshop, MLIT Director Vladimir Korenkov noted that thanks to the creative initiative and international contacts of Vladimir Gerdt this Workshop had gradually developed into a large international conference, and this initiative would be definitely continued by his followers.
The Workshop gathered more than 200 in-person and online participants and was continued with memories of colleagues and friends of Vladimir Gerdt. Moreover, on the first day of the event, participants paid tribute to Vladimir Petrovich by laying flowers on his grave.

Measurement of the radiation environment of the ATLAS cavern in 2017–2018 with semiconductor pixel ATLAS-GaAsPix detectors

Dear colleagues!
Please find details related to the institutional seminar on results obtained by the JINR team at the ATLAS at the LHC on 28 May at 11:00.
Due to the measures imposed by the JINR Directorate for preventing the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 infection the seminar will be held via Zoom only.
See please brief instructions on Zoom system use
Speaker: E.A. Cherepanova
Title: «Measurement of the radiation environment of the ATLAS cavern in 2017–2018 with semiconductor pixel ATLAS-GaAsPix detectors»
Abstract:
A network of ten semiconductor Timepix detectors with GaAs:Cr sensors was installed in the ATLAS cavern at CERN's LHC during the shutdown periods 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 in the framework of a cooperation between ATLAS and the Medipix2 Collaboration. The purpose was to augment the existing system of measuring and characterising the radiation environment in the ATLAS cavern that is based on ATLAS-TPX devices with pixelated silicon sensors. The detectors were in continuous operation during 13 TeV proton-proton collisions in 2017–2018. Data were... read more...

Workload prediction for DIRAC distributed computing infrastructure

There is a new project of MLIT employee Igor Pelevanyuk within the framework of the 4th Wave of the INTEREST online scientific program, which is organized by the JINR University Centre and will be held from May 24 to July 2, 2021.
DIRAC Interware is a platform for the integration of different computing resources into a unified system. In JINR it is used to run various jobs related to Monte-Carlo generation and data reconstruction. So far almost a million jobs have been successfully executed which consumed 500 years of wall-time. With monitoring data available it is possible to predict the duration of jobs running on the integrated infrastructure. It would allow to plan load more precisely.
This project involves diving into the terminology of High-Throughput Computing and the practical use of collected data. Please, include a link to your Github(GitLab, BitBucket) account if you already have some projects completed in Python.
