National Science Data Fabric

Our IEEE Computer Society Computing in Science & Engineering (CiSE) article on Enhancing Scientific Research with FAIR Digital Objects in the National Science Data Fabric has been published. It is available for open access to all. Download the article here: https://lnkd.in/g_4CrGgu Learn more about our vision of combining findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) Digital Objects with the National Science Data Fabric (NSDF) to enhance data accessibility, scientific discovery, and education. Integrating FAIR Digital Objects into the NSDF overcomes data access barriers and facilitates the extraction of machine-actionable metadata in alignment with FAIR principles. The article discusses examples of climate simulations and materials science workflows. It establishes the groundwork for a dataflow design that prioritizes inclusivity, web-centricity, and a network-first approach to democratize data access and create opportunities for research and collaboration in the scientific community.

Honored to kick off ICPP 2024 with a keynote on the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project, National Science Data Fabric (NSDF)! I discussed how NSDF is revolutionizing data access and scientific discovery by integrating HPC and cloud environments, making data management more accessible and reproducible. Highlighting its application to the SOMOSPIE workflow in earth science, I showcased how NSDF supports complex analyses across academic and commercial clouds, enhancing clarity and reproducibility in research. I am grateful to the #ICPP24 community and Stefano Markidis (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) for this opportunity. I am excited about the collaborations ahead!

Researchers frequently prefer to review all the available data remotely before deciding which segments to download, transferring only specific portions of this data to their local computer for closer analysis and visualization. However, every step of this process is challenging: it is difficult to stream the data, identify and deploy tools for data visualization, interact dynamically with the data, explore multiple datasets simultaneously, and decide which relevant segment of data to download. This tutorial targets scientists who need to visualize and analyze large scientific datasets interactively. The tutorial demonstrates how the National Science Data Fabric (NSDF)’s services enable accessible, flexible, and customizable workflows for multi-faceted analysis and visualization of various datasets. The tutorial walks through workflow steps of generating large datasets through modular applications, storing this data remotely, and analyzing and visualizing the data locally to draw scientific conclusions. NSDF services allow users to stream data from public storage platforms like DataVerse or private storage platforms like Seal Storage and access an easy-to-use NSDF dashboard for immediate interaction with data. The tutorial highlights how to move through every step of the modular workflow, handling different data formats that are efficient for streaming, and how to use visualization for scientific inference on subsets of selected data. By deploying an earth science use case, the tutorial shows how a modular workflow can create a dataset, gather fine-resolution terrain parameters across the United States, and visualize selected regions of interest.

Domain scientists working in fields ranging from Dark Matter (Amy Roberts, University of Colorado, Denver) and Materials Science (Erwin Cazares, The University of Texas at El Paso) to STEM education (Dan Barstow Windows on Earth), presented new data challenges in their fields. Presentations also highlighted the accomplishments of National Science Data Fabric, including Werner Sun’s discussion of the deployment of NSDF services at CHESS (the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source). A new tutorial demonstrating the impressive capabilities of NSDF for end-to-end visualization and analysis of scientific data also debuted. Do you want to join NSDF?
