Scientific Data Management Technology for NERSC

In this article we summarize the main data management requirements based on a recent NERSC user survey. Next we provide some recommendations about how these requirements can be addressed using existing data management technology.

Scientific Data Management for Visualization Implementation Experience

In the validation phase of a commercial CFD code, the importance of scientific data management for visualization and knowledge preservation surfaced. The proposed Scientific Data Bag (SDB) solution offers a lightweight method to record metadata and relationship between related datasets in a file structure preserving access to data files in their native format. An interface layer provides servic...
