Data Intensive Computing

Data Intensive Computing, sometimes known as big data, is often identify by three main characteristics

The Three V's

The “Three V’s” of big data as applied to HPC are:

• Volume:
  • Increasing mesh resolution
  • Increasing temporal complexity
• Variety:
  • Higher-dimensional data
  • Increasing multi-variance
  • Complex data models
  • Ensembles, parameter studies
• Velocity:
  • Future hardware constraints will limit I/O
