Abstract: Data-related challenges are quickly dominating computational and data-enabled sciences, and are limiting the potential impact of end-to-end coupled application formulations enabled by current high-performance distributed computing environments. These data-intensive application workflows present significant data management, transport and processing challenges, involving dynamic coordination, interactions and data-coupling between multiple application process that run at scale on different high performance resources, and with services for monitoring, analysis and visualization and archiving. In this talk I will explore data grand challenges in simulation-based science application workflows and investigate how solutions based on managed data pipelines, in-memory data-staging, in-situ placement and execution, and in-transit data processing can be used to address these data challenges at petascale and beyond.

Bio: Manish Parashar is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University. He is the founding Director of the Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) and of the NSF Cloud and Autonomic Computing Center (CAC), and is Associate Director of the Rutgers Center for Information Assurance (RUCIA). Manish received a BE degree from Bombay University, India, and MS and Ph.D. degrees from Syracuse University. His research interests are in the broad areas of Parallel and Distributed Computing and Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering. A key focus of his research is on addressing the complexity or large-scale systems and applications through programming abstractions and systems. Manish serves on the editorial boards and organizing committees of a large number of journals and international conferences and workshops, and has deployed several software systems that are widely used.  He has also received numerous awards and is Fellow of AAAS, Fellow of IEEE/IEEE Computer Society and Senior Member of ACM.
