Abstract:
Scientific user facilities -- particle accelerators, telescopes, colliders,
supercomputers, light sources, sequencing facilities, and more -- operated by
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) generate ever
increasing volumes of data at unprecedented rates from experiments,
observations, and simulations. At the same time there is a growing community
of experimentalists that require real-time data analysis feedback, to enable
them to steer their complex experimental instruments to optimize scientific
outcomes and new discoveries. Recent efforts in DOE-SC have focused on
articulating the data-centric challenges and opportunities facing these
science communities. Key challenges include difficulties coping with data
size, rate, and complexity in the context of both real-time and
post-experiment data analysis and interpretation. Solutions will require
algorithmic and mathematical advances, as well as hardware and software
infrastructures that adequately support data-intensive scientific workloads.
This talk presents the summary findings of
a workshop held by DOE-SC in September 2015, convened to identify the major
challenges and the research that is needed to meet those challenges
Speaker Bio:
E. Wes Bethel is a Senior Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, where he engages in and leads a vibrate research program in
high performance visualization and data analysis that aims to facilitate
knowledge discovery from large scientific data produced by computer
simulations and experiments using some of the world's largest
computational platforms. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from
the University of California Davis, is a Senior Fellow at the Berkeley
Institute for Data Science, and is an ACM Distinguished Scientist.
