Seminar

"Real Life Data Intensive Applications-Challenges and Solutions"

Jacek Becla
SLAC National Accelerator Center. Stanford University

Very few have experienced the petascale reality, but soon everybody will. Because there are no clear solutions or standards, it is crucial to understand the current best practices. This talk will cover emerging trends that are practically essential for petascale computing such as pushing computation to data, distributing data horizontally, decentralization, uninterrupted operation under faults and full automation. It will discuss the challenges, today's practices and solutions applicable to data-intensive scientific analytics, with focus on real life examples from astronomy, high energy physics and others.
