The VERCE Architecture for Data-Intensive Seismology

10 June 2013 - 4:16pm — Iraklis.Klampanos
Speaker(s): 
Iraklis.Klampanos
Presentation Type: 
talk

One of the main objectives of the VERCE project (Virtual Earthquake and Seismology Research Community in Europe) is to provide scientists with a unified, Europe-wide, computing environment able to support data-intensive scientific computation. This talk will be mainly about our approach to designing and building this infrastructure. More specifically, I will present the current computing environment, the rationale for designing our solutions around the workflow paradigm as well as the basic components of the architecture and their interactions.

Data-Intensive Research for Efficiency and Enablement in Heterogeneous Systems

5 June 2013 - 1:23pm — Iraklis.Klampanos
Speaker(s): 
Iraklis.Klampanos
Presentation Type: 
poster

Diversity, in every dimension, is a key attribute of today’s data bonanza. Our research takes a holistic view, embracing this diversity and the consequent intricate interactions between users and systems. We created the Dispel data-streaming language to describe complex computation patterns at high levels of abstraction, while providing meta-information for optimisation. Provenance and contextual information must be harnessed to achieve autonomous execution, data placement, energy efficiency and reliability.
