High Performance Data Webs

DataSpace is a high performance data web for the remote analysis, mining, and real-time interaction of scientific, engineering, business, and other complex data. DataSpace applications are designed to exploit the capabilities provided by emerging domestic and international high-performance networks so that gigabyte and terabyte datasets can be remotely explored in real time. This demonstration uses the Terra Wide Data Mining (TWDM) testbed, which consists of high-performance clusters worldwide linked by wide-area high-performance networks, providing the data and compute services required. DataSpace is an open, standards-based infrastructure that combines data web services, data grid services and semantic web services for remote data analysis and distributed data mining.
