Abstract

Collaborative science demands global sharing of scientific data. But it cannot leverage universally accessible cloud-based infrastructures like Drop Box, as those offer limited interfaces and inadequate levels of access bandwidth. We present the Scibox cloud facility for online sharing scientific data. It uses standard cloud storage solutions, but offers a usage model in which high end codes can write/read data to/from the cloud via the APIs they already use for their I/O actions. With Scibox, data upload/download volumes are controlled via Data Reduction-functions stated by end users and applied at the data source, before data is moved, with further gains in efficiency obtained by combining DR-functions to move exactly what is needed by current data consumers. We evaluate Scibox with science applications and their representative data analytics - the GTS fusion and the combustion image processing - demonstrating the potential for ubiquitous data access with substantial reductions in network traffic.
