CC* Data Storage: KoaStore: A High Performance and Flexible Research Storage Resource

夏威夷大学的CC*数据存储：KoaStore-一种高性能和灵活的研究存储资源，支持整个夏威夷大学(UH)十校区系统中的数据和计算密集型研究、教育和实践。KoaStore为密歇根大学的教职员工、研究人员和学生提供最先进的数据基础设施，专注于机器学习、人工智能和大规模模拟。KoaStore通过提供可从所有本地、地区和国家计算资源访问的4.4PB高速Lustre存储平台，实现更大范围和规模的分析。KoaStores的200 GB HDR InfiniBand网络使KoaStore能够实现高达96 GB/S的I/O速度，从而提高了本地Mana和Koa高性能计算资源上的I/O繁重工作流的计算吞吐量。KoaStore的外部网络连接通过100 Gb/S数据传输节点连接和高速并行文件系统相结合，提高了对国家、商业云和学术资源的数据传输速度，增强了端到端的大数据工作流。与开放科学数据联合会的战略合作伙伴关系允许KoaStore服务于国家研究社区，并提供一个计算平台的门户，密歇根大学的研究人员可以使用国家计算资源访问他们的数据。KoaStore的高速文件系统与夏威夷大学托管的地区Jestream2 NSF云基础设施的集成使研究人员能够轻松地跨越云和本地计算资源之间的计算环境和模式，以支持新的深度学习和人工智能工作流、可视化和应用程序。此外，KoaStore平台通过与夏威夷数据科学研究所和当地社区合作，为下一代研究人员和数据科学家提供数据科学和计算科学方面的实践培训，提供研讨会和课堂准入。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The University of Hawai‘i’s ‘CC* Data Storage: KoaStore - A High Performance and Flexible Research Storage Resource supports data and computationally intensive research, education and practice across the University of Hawai’i (UH) ten-campus system. KoaStore provides UH faculty, researchers and students state-of-the-art data infrastructure focused towards machine learning, artificial intelligence and large scale simulation. KoaStore enables a larger scope and scale of analysis by providing 4.4PB of high speed Lustre storage platform accessible from all local, regional and national compute resources. KoaStores’s 200Gb HDR infiniband network enables KoaStore to achieve I/O speeds up to 96Gb/s and leading to increased computational throughput for I/O heavy workflows on local Mana and Koa high performance computing resources. KoaStore’s external network connections increase data transfer speeds to national, commercial cloud and academic resources via the combination of 100Gb/s data transfer node connection and high speed parallel file system, enhancing end-to-end big data workflows. The strategic partnership with the Open Science Data Federation allows for KoaStore to serve the national research community as well as provide a gateway to a compute platform UH researchers can access their data on with national computing resources.Integration of KoaStore’s high speed file system with the regional Jestream2 NSF Cloud infrastructure hosted at the University of Hawaii allows researchers to easily span computing environments and modalities between the cloud and local computing resources to support new deep learning and artificial intelligence workflows, visualizations and applications. Further, the KoaStore platform aids hands-on training in data science and computational science for the next generation of researchers and data scientists through partnership with the Hawaii Data science institute and local community for workshops and classroom access.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
