MLIT youth at conference in Alushta On 11 June, young scientists of the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies presented their scientific results at the 14th International Conference of Young Scientists and Specialists “Alushta-2025”. The event took place on 8–15 June at the Dubna resort house in Alushta. This year, 56 representatives from Russia, Vietnam, Egypt, India, Kazakhstan, Cuba, and Romania participated in the conference. The conference is traditionally organized by AYSS JINR. MLIT Deputy Director Nikolay Voytishin delivered a lecture on the status and plans for the development of the JINR Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex (MICC), as well as the areas of MLIT’s scientific activity, including interlaboratory projects within JINR and participation in мегасайенс projects. MLIT trainee researcher Alexey Konak reported on the current state of data management for the international SPD experiment at the NICA collider. He spoke about how the experiment’s data was processed, stored and distributed between various computing centers. Ongoing computations, volumes of data produced and storage strategies were discussed. Two talks focused on the software and hardware complex, SPD Online Filter, being created by the MLIT team for the multi-stage high-throughput processing of SPD detector data. Its major task is primary data processing to reduce the data volume for long-term storage and subsequent full processing. The report by MLIT trainee researcher Leonid Romanychev was dedicated to the use of pilot applications for distributed task execution in the SPD Online Filter system. Particular attention was paid to the late binding mechanism, which allows for dynamic task distribution and enhanced resource efficiency. The solution presented in the talk is a two-component system that consists of a pilot and a daemon. It employs a multi-threaded architecture that takes into account the specifics of the SPD experiment, ensuring task execution, monitoring, and status reporting. MLIT trainee researcher Nikita Greben presented middleware for high-throughput data processing within the SPD Online Filter complex. The report illustrated the architecture of the software complex and its subsystems. It demonstrated coordinated interaction between the components and showed how they together provided reliable, scalable primary data processing to meet the requirements of the SPD experiment. The talk by MLIT researcher Igor Pelevanyuk was devoted to the preparation of the DIRAC computing infrastructure for Run 9 of data-taking within the BM@N experiment. For two years, the system has been successfully employed for both experimental data processing and Monte Carlo data generation. At present, automated methods for launching processing tasks have been developed for BM@N Run 9, which will significantly reduce the time between receiving the initial data and its readiness for physics analysis. In addition, operational information on the quality of experimental data enables to promptly eliminate emerging problems. MLIT junior researcher Anna Ilina gave an overview and spoke about the development prospects of the web service “Map of Detector Technologies”, which was created with her direct participation and provides the accounting and contextual search of data on the Institute’s equipment, materials and technologies, as well as on accumulated competencies. As in the previous year, technical support for the JINR AYSS conference in Alushta, including the organization of online broadcasts, was provided by MICC Chief Engineer Alexey Vorontsov. At the conference’s closing ceremony on 14 June, the authors of the best reports were awarded: Anna Ilina’s talk was recognized by the jury as the best in the MLIT plenary session. Igor Pelevanyuk’s presentation received the audience’s choice award.
