Optimizing mass storage organization and access for multi-dimensional scientific data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A critical issue for scientific investigators is ready access to the large volume of data generated by large scale supercomputer simulations and physical experiments. This paper describes the current status of a collaborative effort which focuses on managing data produced by climate modeling applications. The project is aimed at signifcantly improving the accessibility and ease of use of large scientific databases, in the context of a hierarchical mass storage system.

The growing amount of information that has arisen from emerging technologies has caused organizations to face challenges in maintaining and managing their information. Expanding hardware, human resources, outsourcing data management, and maintenance an external organization in the form of cloud storage services, are two common approaches to overcome these challenges; The first approach costs of...
متن کاملScientific Flow Field Simulation of Cruciform Missiles Through the Thin Layer Navier Stokes Equations
The thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two complete missile configurations on an IBM 3090-200 vectro-facility supercomputer. The conservation form of the three-dimensional equations, written in generalized coordinates, are finite differenced and solved on a body-fitted curvilinear grid system developed in conjunction with the flowfield solver. The numerical procedure is based on ...
متن کاملOptimizing Tertiary Storage Organization and Access for Spatio-Temporal Datasets
We address in this paper data management techniques for efficiently retrieving requested subsets of large datasets stored on mass storage devices. This problem represents a major bottleneck that can negate the benefits of fast networks, because the time to access a subset from a large dataset stored on a mass storage system is much greater that the time to transmit that subset over a network. T...
متن کاملThe Architecture of a New Storage and Retrieval System for Scientific Studies
The proliferation of large data repositories inspires continuing interest in storage systems and organization. This paper describes basic principles and architecture of a new prototype system for data storage and retrieval, called D*, which is designed to support advanced scientific studies in Data Grid environments. Unlike typical storage systems, the D* system enables a tighter integration of...
