Workshop on Large-Scale Data Analysis

Posted on January 21, 2011 by mdl in Conferences and Presentations, CSCS, HPCN, Science

The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) invites you to a

Workshop on large-scale data analysis
10:30 AM – 04:30 PM; Friday February 18, 2011, Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne

The workshop is aimed at researchers who are facing challenges in data analytics and are looking for an adequate facility in Switzerland to analyze their data efficiently.

Introduction

Many researchers are faced with massive volumes of data through experiments, observations and simulations in many applications such as material sciences, medicine, genomics, high-energy physics, climate research and astrophysics. Data analysis applications may differ significantly from the current HPC workloads in that the data structures are often irregular without the high degree of spatial and temporal locality seen in physics-based simulations using regular matrices.

CSCS will start in the next months a new project called “EUREKA” aimed to offer dedicated to large-scale data analysis services. The proposed analysis facility will be used for large-scale analysis of unstructured data and data mining. It is purpose-built for parallel applications that are dynamically changing, require random access to shared memory and typically do not run well on conventional systems and will offer a low latency, high bandwidth and large capacity parallel file system
