Maitri: Format Independent Data Management for Scientific Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today’s scientific applications are very data intensive, and their data management requirements can no longer be met by special-purpose libraries for particular scientific data formats or by traditional database management systems. This paper proposes Maitri, a data-format-independent, loosely-coupled, application-tailorable set of libraries that provides a holistic data management framework for scientists. A scientific programmer can write applications that access scientific data in its native format, while using Maitri’s APIs for buffering, indexing, metadata management, and concurrency control, plus a small amount of format-specific code written by the programmer. Experiments to date with Maitri’s buffer and index managers show that this format independence can be obtained at an acceptable runtime cost.

Maitri: A Format-Independent Framework for Managing Large Scale Scientific Data
Even traditional commercial database systems do not scale to the size of today’s large scientific data sets, whose growth is outpacing Moore’s Law. Instead, scientists are wedded to special-purpose data formats and their associated I/O libraries, even though these libraries provide only basic functionality. Thus there is a need for a scalable data management system that can support these format...

Vegetation is the important part of a historical garden so that, by destroying it, it's impossible to call the historical site a "Garden". In Persian gardens, the plants have special importance, since in many references the methods of planting in garden are specifically described. Whereas garden's vegetation is a mortal element and its replacement and restoration is not easily possible, so docu...

متن کاملMethods for Specifying Scientific Data Standards and Modeling Relationships with Applications to Neuroscience
Neuroscience continues to experience a tremendous growth in data; in terms of the volume and variety of data, the velocity at which data is acquired, and in turn the veracity of data. These challenges are a serious impediment to sharing of data, analyses, and tools within and across labs. Here, we introduce BRAINformat, a novel data standardization framework for the design and management of sci...
