In this video from the HPC User Forum, Henry Newman from Seagate Government Solutions leads a panel discussion on Metadata and Archiving at Scale. “Metadata is the key to keeping track of all this unstructured scientific data. It is “data about data.” It makes scientific data easy to find, track, share, move and manage – at low cost. Unfortunately, today’s high capacity storage systems only provide bare bones system consisting of as little as file name, owner and creation/access timestamps. Data intensive scientific workflows need supplemental enhanced metadata, along with access rights and security safeguards.”
Science and Industry using Supercomputers
This paper is intended for people interested in High Performance Computing (HPC) in general, in the performance development of HPC systems from the beginning in the 1970s and, above all, in HPC applications in the past, today and tomorrow. Readers do not need to be supercomputer experts.
