iVEC has announced the hosting of an event ‘Accelerating Scientific Knowledge Discovery in DOE Science’, presented by Scott A.Klasky from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) manages the world’s largest collection of unique scientific user facilities for open science research. Science is often hampered by the time and effort users spend in finding, processing, organizing, moving, and sharing information in their collaborative environment.

As DOE science moves forward into the exascale-era, the scientific discovery process will continue to become more difficult, due to the increasing complexities of their collaboration. The primitive state of the computer science tools in this area makes establishing, evolving, and managing information in these complex collaborations very challenging. For today’s scientists this is a serious impediment to the realization of their scientific goals. In this talk I will focus on our efforts in this area: ADIOS, an open source data management framework.

Scott A. Klasky is the group leader for Scientific Data in the Computer Science and Mathematics Research Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin (1994), under Prof. Richard Matzner. Dr. Klasky has previously worked at the University of Texas at Austin, Syracuse University, and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Dr. Klasky is a world expert in scientific computing and scientific data management, co-authoring over 150 papers.

When: February 25, 2013 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Where: ARRC Auditorium, 26 Dick Perry Avenue Kensington WA 6151
Cost: Free

RELATED WORKSHOP

Using ADIOS for Scientific Data Management

The ADaptive I/O System (ADIOS), an open-source data management framework for scientific computing, provides a simple, flexible way for scientists to describe the data in their code that may need to be written, read, or processed. Data processing procedures can be changed without the need to recompile the application source code. In this workshop, users will learn about the features of ADIOS and how to use it, from one of the original ADIOS developers, Scott Klasky.
