Scaling Inference Using Triton to Accelerate Particle Physics at the LHC and DUNE

DUNE and the LHC experiments consist of unique and cutting-edge particle detectors that create massive, complex, and rich datasets with billions of events. They require sophisticated algorithms to reconstruct and interpret the data. Modern machine learning algorithms provide a powerful toolset to detect and classify particles, from familiar image processing convolutional neural networks to newer graph neural network architectures. A full reconstruction of these particle collisions requires novel approaches to handle the computing challenge of processing so much raw data. In a series of studies, physicists from Fermilab, CERN, and university groups explored how to accelerate their data processing using the Triton Inference Server.
