Data from instruments and observations are being generated at increasing rates which leads to increased challenges in data management and computation. It is critical that we address these challenges because these large datasets enable massive breakthroughs across many scientific disciplines. Instruments and observations can generate terabytes of data per day, which often must be transferred from remote locations, field stations, or core facilities to the user's home system for storage and analysis. To address these challenges, The University of Chicago (UChicago) will acquire and operate a Data Lifecycle Instrument (DaLI) to manage and share data from instruments and observations at UChicago and the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). DaLI will simplify data management for researchers, allowing them to acquire, transfer, process, and share data from instruments and observations in a single workflow as well as share their data with a larger community of users. In partnership with UChicago, MBL, and collaborating Minority Serving Institutions, DaLI will be used as a training instrument to prepare students to meet the data challenges of the 21st century and will support several outreach programs. The Data Lifecycle instrument (DaLI) for management and sharing of data from instruments and observations will enable researchers to (a) acquire, transfer, process, and store data from experiments and observations in a unified workflow, (b) manage data collections over their entire life cycle, and (c) share and publish data. DaLI will also (d) enhance outreach and education opportunities and (e) provide a replicable model for other institutions. DaLI will create a scalable, seamless, and replicable infrastructure for data management and sharing to enable new transformative science and enable researchers to implement best practices in data management. The DaLI platform will consist of four pools of resources: a high-performance compute resource for pre- and post-processing of data, a high-performance storage pool, a low cost storage pool, and a tape backup pool. In addition to hardware, DaLI is designed to have software tools that create intuitive interfaces for data lifecycle management and integration with the campus and national cyberinfrastructures.

来自仪器和观测的数据正在以越来越快的速度生成，这导致数据管理和计算方面的挑战越来越大。我们应对这些挑战至关重要，因为这些大型数据集使得许多科学学科能够取得巨大突破。仪器和观测每天可以生成数 TB 的数据，这些数据通常必须从远程位置、现场站或核心设施传输到用户的家庭系统进行存储和分析。为了应对这些挑战，芝加哥大学 (UChicago) 将购买并运行数据生命周期仪器 (DaLI)，以管理和共享来自芝加哥大学和海洋生物实验室 (MBL) 的仪器和观测数据。 DaLI 将简化研究人员的数据管理，使他们能够在单一工作流程中获取、传输、处理和共享来自仪器和观测的数据，并与更大的用户社区共享数据。 DaLI 将与芝加哥大学、MBL 和少数族裔服务机构合作，作为培训工具，帮助学生做好应对 21 世纪数据挑战的准备，并将支持多个外展项目。用于管理和共享来自仪器和观察的数据的数据生命周期工具（DaLI）将使研究人员能够（a）在统一的工作流程中获取、传输、处理和存储来自实验和观察的数据，（b）管理整个生命周期的数据收集，以及（c）共享和发布数据。大理学院还将 (d) 增加外展和教育机会，以及 (e) 为其他机构提供可复制的模式。 DaLI 将创建一个可扩展、无缝且可复制的数据管理和共享基础设施，以实现新的变革性科学，并使研究人员能够实施数据管理方面的最佳实践。 DaLI平台将由四个资源池组成：用于数据预处理和后处理的高性能计算资源、高性能存储池、低成本存储池和磁带备份池。除了硬件之外，DaLI 还设计了软件工具，可以为数据生命周期管理以及与校园和国家网络基础设施的集成创建直观的界面。
