The miracle of God or Machine, popular name with which it has dubbed the most ambitious research project, launched by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and the world's leading laboratory for particle physics, started on 10 September 2008 with great expectations.
The experiment, which will last for months and aims to explain the origin of matter, use VMware Fusion to share Linux-based computer code via VMware virtual machines executed on Apple hardware.
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator is the world's largest, which produces seven times more radiation than any previous machine and around 30 times more intense when it reaches the projected return. Housed in a tunnel 27 kilometers, the LHC has operating temperature of 1.9 degrees above absolute zero (-271 º C). By studying collisions at higher forces than had been done before, physicists can make more progress in understanding the mysteries of how our universe was created.
Together with VMware Fusion, physicists use Macintosh hardware running Linux-based software, which links to the LHC Computing Grid, a network of over 150 computer centers with approximately 40,000 CPUs, which handle 15 petabytes new information each year.
VMware Fusion's ability to withstand and to allow Mac users to run all PC applications they need on their hardware in a straightforward and without problems, CERN offers an excellent solution to the challenges presented by the lack of a hardware platform standard, while a key element of CERN's virtualization initiative.
