Synopsis: |
New laboratory devices, sensor networks, high-throughput instruments, and numerical simulation systems are producing data at rates that are both without precedent and rapidly growing. The resulting increases in the size, number, and variety of data are revolutionizing scientific practice. These changes demand new computing infrastructures and tools. Until recently, most laboratories and collaborations managed their own data, operated their own computers, and used remote high-performance computers only when required. We are moving to a paradigm in which data will primarily be located and managed on remote clusters, grids, and data centers. In this symposium, we will examine the computing infrastructure designed to serve this emerging era of data-intensive computing from three perspectives: (1) that of grid computing, which enables the creation of virtual organizations that can share remote and distributed resources over the Internet; (2) that of data centers, which are transitioning to providers of integrated storage, data, compute, and collaboration services (the offering of one or more of these integrated services over the Internet is beginning to be called cloud computing); and (3) that of e-science, in which grids, Web 2.0 technologies, and new collaboration and analysis services are merging and changing the way science is conducted. Each speaker will focus on one perspective but also compare and contrast with the others. |
