The Scientific Data Management Center

With the increasing volume and complexity of data produced by ultra-scale simulations and high-throughput experiments, understanding the science is largely hampered by the lack of comprehensive, end-to-end data management solutions ranging from initial data acquisition to final analysis and visualization. The Scientific Data Management (SDM) Center is bringing a set of advanced data management technologies to DOE scientists in various application domains including astrophysics, climate, fusion, and biology. Equally important, it has established collaborations with these scientists to better understand their science as well as their forthcoming data management and data analytics challenges. The SDM center has provided advanced data management technologies to DOE domain scientists in the areas of storage efficient access, data mining and analysis, and scientific process automation
