Real-time HEP analysis with funcX, a high-performance platform for function as a service

We explore how the function as a service paradigm can be used to address the computing challenges in experimental high-energy physics at CERN. As a case study, we use funcX—a high-performance function as a service platform that enables intuitive, flexible, efficient, and scalable remote function exe...
