Scientific Data Management - Challenges, Technology, and Deployment

Zusatztext "? Each chapter contains insights and experience gleaned by experts and luminaries in storage who are confronting and managing the data tsunami that has now inundated the leading-edge scientific and supercomputing centers around the world. Individuals in a variety of scientific and commercial areas who are struggling to manage large amounts of data should find this book both educational and useful."-Ron Farber! Scientific Computing! 2010 Informationen zum Autor Arie Shoshani is a senior staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he heads the Scientific Data Management Research Group. Dr. Shoshani is also the director of the Scientific Data Management Center, one of several large computer science centers supported by the SciDAC program of the U.S. Department of Energy. Doron Rotem is a senior staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he heads the research program on scientific data management. Klappentext This work describes cutting-edge technologies and solutions for managing and analyzing vast amounts of scientific data. It begins with coverage of efficient storage systems, discussing how to write and read large volumes of data without slowing the simulation, analysis, or visualization processes. The book then focuses on the efficient data movement and management of storage spaces and explores emerging database systems for scientific data. It also addresses how to best organize data for analysis purposes, how to effectively conduct searches over large datasets, how to successfully automate multistep scientific process workflows, and how to automatically collect metadata and lineage information.
