Abstract

This workshop explores computer science topics at the intersection of storage, analysis, and data-intensive computational science. Traditionally, computation, storage, and analysis were viewed as three separate tasks, but as supercomputers and data increase in size and complexity, this isolated view is no longer practical. By considering these topics together, we hope to uncover potential efficiency and scalability, and see the connections between these areas as the week progresses.

Within this broad scope, relevant topics can include data models, run-time and postprocessing analysis and visualization techniques, I/O systems and optimizations, data mining and machine learning, and the application of all of the above in science codes. However, we welcome you to think beyond these topics and propose new problems and solutions. While we value solutions that are ready to use today, we encourage research that is 1-5 years out as well. The workshop features ample opportunity for discussion following each set of talks, as well as open time for one-on-one collaborations.
