The increasingly important data-intensive scientific discovery presents a critical question to the high performance computing (HPC) community - how to efficiently support these growing scientific big data applications with HPC systems that are traditionally designed for big compute applications? The conventional HPC systems are computing-centric and designed for computation-intensive applications...
The I/O bottleneck issue has been acknowledged as one of main performance issues of high performance computing (HPC) systems for data-intensive scientific applications, and has attracted intensive studies in recent years. With the enlarging gap between the computing bandwidth and I/O bandwidth in projected next-generation HPC systems, this issue will become even worse. In this paper, we present a...
Performance of reading scientific data from a parallel file system depends on the organization of data on physical storage devices. Data is often immutable after producers of data, such as large-scale simulations, experiments, and observations, write the data to the parallel file system. As a result, read performance of data analysis tasks is often slow when the read pattern does not conform with...
Scientific datasets, such as HDF5 and PnetCDF, have been used widely in many scientific applications. These data formats and libraries provide essential support for data analysis in scientific discovery and innovations. In this research, we present an approach to boost data analysis, namely Fast Analysis with Statistical Metadata (FASM), via data sub setting and integrating a small amount of statistics...
Active storage provides an effective method to mitigate the I/O bottleneck problem of data intensive high performance computing applications. It can reduce the amount of data transferred as the application runs by moving appropriate computations close to the data. Prior research has achieved considerable progress in developing several active storage prototypes. However, existing studies have neglected...
