Using the Data Capacitor for Remote Data Collection, Analysis, and Visualization

Abstract

Indiana University provides powerful compute, storage, and network resources to a diverse local and national research community. In the past year, through the use of Lustre across the wide area network, IU has been able to extend the reach of its advanced cyberinfrastructure across the nation and across the ocean to Technische Universitaet Dresden.

For this year's bandwidth challenge, a handful of researchers from IU, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the Technische Universitaet Dresden will run a set of data-intensive applications crossing a range of disciplines from the digital humanities to computational chemistry.

Using IU's 535 TB Data Capacitor and an additional component installed on the exhibit floor, we will mount Lustre across the wide area network to demonstrate data collection, analysis, and visualization across distance.
