MRI: Development of Data-Scope - A Multi-Petabyte Generic Data Analysis Environment for Science

1040114 szalay该奖项资助了data - scope的开发和部署，这是一种专门设计的计算仪器，用于实现目前根本不可能完成的数据分析任务。仪器吗?s的前所未有的能力结合了大约5pb的存储和接近500gb /秒的顺序IO带宽，以及600 Teraflops的GPU计算。在保持高性能和存储容量的同时，需要保持较低的采购成本和功耗，这带来了困难的权衡。data - scope将在pb级数据集上提供极致的数据分析性能，但牺牲了容错和易管理性等通用特性。不过，这是可以接受的，因为Data-Scope是一种研究工具，而不是传统的计算设备。

1040114SzalayThis award funds the development and deployment of the Data-Scope, a computational instrument specifically designed to enable data analysis tasks that are simply not possible today. The instrument?s unprecedented capabilities combine approximately five Petabytes of storage with a sequential IO bandwidth close to 500GBytes/sec, and 600 Teraflops of GPU computing.The need to keep acquisition costs and power consumption low, while maintaining high performance and storage capacity introduces difficult tradeoffs. The Data-Scope will provide extreme data analysis performance over PB-scale datasets at the expense of generic features such as fault tolerance and ease of management. This is however acceptable since the Data-Scope is a research instrument rather than a traditional computational facility.
