The official repository for ROOT: analyzing, storing and visualizing big data, scientifically
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
ROOT is a unified software package for the storage, processing, and analysis of scientific data: from its acquisition to the final visualization in form of highly customizable, publication-ready plots. It is reliable, performant and well supported, easy to use and obtain, and strives to maximize the quantity and impact of scientific results obtained per unit cost, both of human effort and computing resources.
