David Keyes from KAUST gave this talk at ATPESC 2019. “Analytics can provide to machine learning feature vectors for training. Machine learning, in turn, can impute missing data and provide detection and classification. The scientific opportunities are potentially enormous enough to overcome the inertia of the specialized communities that have gathered around each of paradigms and spur convergence.”
Michela Taufer presents: Scientific Applications and Heterogeneous Architectures
January 23, 2020 by
Michela Taufer from UT Knoxville gave this talk at ATPESC 2019. “This talk discusses two emerging trends in computing (i.e., the convergence of data generation and analytics, and the emergence of edge computing) and how these trends can impact heterogeneous applications. This talk presents case studies of heterogenous applications in precision medicine and precision farming that expand scientist workflows beyond the supercomputing center and shed our reliance on large-scale simulations exclusively, for the sake of scientific discovery.”

Sandia Research Project turns Big Data into real-time, actionable intelligence
October 15, 2019 by
Researchers at Sandia National Labs are leading a project to deliver actionable information from streaming data to decision makers. While social media, cameras, sensors and more generate huge amounts of data that can overwhelm analysts, the project looks to provide crucial insight in real time. “Actionable intelligence is the next level of data analysis where analysis is put into use for near-real-time decision-making. Success on this research will have a strong impact to many time-critical national security applications.”

NetApp EF600 Storage Array Speeds HPC and Analytics
August 20, 2019 by
Today NetApp announced the NetApp EF600 storage array. The EF600 is an end-to-end NVMe midrange array that accelerates access to data and empowers companies to rapidly develop new insights for performance-sensitive workloads. “The storage industry is currently transitioning from the SAS to the NVMe protocol, which significantly increases the speed of access to data,” said Tim Stammers, senior analyst, 451 Research. “But conventional storage systems do not fully exploit NVMe performance, because of latencies imposed by their main controllers. NetApp’s E-Series systems were designed to address this architectural issue and are already used widely in performance-sensitive applications. The EF600 sets a new level of performance for the E-Series by introducing end-to-end support for NVMe, and should be considered by IT organizations looking for high-speed storage to serve analytics and other data-intensive applications.”
