CEDPS In a Nutshell
The five year duration of SciDAC-2 will see DOE science firmly enter the petascale era. Both simulation and experimental science are poised to produce enormous quantities of data that will only be useful if it can be effectively accessed and analyzed—tasks that are incredibly challenging due to not only the sheer size of the data but also the distributed environment in which data is stored and analysis occurs.
The Center for Enabling Distributed Petascale Science (CEDPS) will produce technical innovations designed to allow for (a) rapid and dependable data placement within a distributed high-performance environment and (b) the convenient construction of scalable science services that provide for the reliable and high-performance processing of computation and data analysis requests from many remote clients. CEDPS will also address the important problem of troubleshooting these and other related ultra-high-performance distributed activities from the perspective of both performance and functionality.
The CEDPS program of work has been defined in close consultation with leading DOE application groups, and will be deployed, applied, and evaluated in close collaboration with major DOE projects in climate, high energy and nuclear physics, combustion, astrophysics, fusion, biology, and other sciences. The project will be undertaken by a skilled laboratory-university research team that has an outstanding history of both successful technology research and development, and transfer to the DOE science community.
