Panel: Data, Data Everywhere
DescriptionScientific computing is on the tipping point of a paradigm change. For decades, scientific computing has been largely performed on isolated HPC systems with tightly coupled communication, computation, and storage resources. However, we are moving towards a new paradigm that includes distributed resources such as experimental facilities, cloud infrastructure, and edge devices, in addition to HPC, coordinated into an Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI). The goal of IRI is to accelerate scientific discovery through automated real-time experimental analysis and steering. A critical piece of making this new paradigm a reality is efficient management and movement of the vast amounts of data between the geographically distributed source and compute resources. In this panel, we will discuss the major challenges for managing data in this new paradigm, how current approaches can potentially be adapted to meet the challenges, and remaining gaps that must be addressed.
