The Joint Facilities User Forum on Data-Intensive Computing brought together users and HPC center staff to discuss approaches to handling data, best practices, and the future of data-driven scientific discovery.
The OLCF recently relocated the center’s archive tape library to a centralized location with a more controlled environment, resulting in better overall availability and uptime for OLCF system users and better resiliency of the media.
With big science, comes big data. Large-scale simulations that drive molecular dynamics, climate, plasma physics, and other research on Titan generate enormous data sets.
HPCwire sat down with Galen Shipman to discuss strategies for coping with the “3 Vs”—variety, velocity, and volume—of the big data that climate science generates.
