CERN and HEP (high energy physics) in general care more about HTC (high throughput computing). In general, event processing is pleasantly parallel since each event can be processed independently of others. A lot of the computing is really similar to a world wide distributed map reduce cluster. This significantly reduces a lot of the complexity that comes up when working with a workflow that might have thousands of threads interacting with each other.
