Report on HEP/ASCR Data Summit
- USDOE Office of Science (SC), Washington, D.C. (United States)
Representatives from the HEP and ASCR communities met at Germantown on April 2-3, 2013, to discuss issues in carrying out science with large datasets and associated data-intensive computing tasks. The authors of this report acknowledge the important contributions made by all of the ASCR and HEP participants at the data summit and thank them for their efforts. During the meeting, HEP scientists made a series of presentations highlighting how they as a community interact with data, what tools they have developed in doing so, and the challenges to be faced moving forward. From the presentations and discussions, it became clear that the emerging data-intensive challenges span all HEP frontiers. Furthermore, since HEP is building fewer machines and experiments, there is increased emphasis in further optimizing the extraction of science results from the data by staying informed about the latest technologies and taking advantage of those that are particularly relevant. The joint summit proved to be very useful, as it not only familiarized the ASCR team with HEP science, but it also made apparent to the HEP group that there are significant common issues across the three HEP research frontiers that, in the past, have traditionally been addressed separately within each domain. A number of potential areas of common interest across the ASCR and HEP communities were identified. They cover the full range from pure R&D to focused assistance in the development and optimization of specific applications. It was generally agreed that HEP data management tools and techniques are already state of the art, and meet current needs. The community has extensive experience with management and analysis of large data sets. Properly planned joint HEP-ASCR research could incorporate transformational advances in developing tools for future applications. Both communities expressed the need to have viable models for maintenance of such tools and software, once developed.
