Data Management Technologies for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging e-Research Grid

霍华德·弗洛里研究所的研究人员将与SGI的文件系统工程团队合作。预计支持集中式和分布式处理医学图像数据集的技术的开发将带来实质性的好处。需要研究的问题包括文件空间分配算法和缓存策略。提出的快速数据库访问技术旨在解决医学影像研究背景下的这些问题。该项目试图“改善对现有和新的业务应用程序的数据管理”。这种加强的信息共享将提高临界质量，从而促进国家和国际合作。

Howard Florey Institute researchers will collaborate with SGI's file-systems engineering team. Substantial benefits are expected from the development of techniques to support centralized and distributed processing medical image datasets. Issues requiring research include file space allocation algorithms and caching strategies. The proposed rapid database access technologies aim at solving these problems in the medical imaging research context. The project attempts to 'improve data management for existing and new business applications'. This enhanced sharing of information will improve critical mass therefore fostering national and international collaboration.
