- Description:
-
BigStorage is a European Training Network (ETN) whose main goal is to train future data scientists. It aims at enabling them and us to apply holistic and interdisciplinary approaches to take advantage of a data-overwhelmed world. This world requires HPC and Cloud infrastructures with a redefinition of storage architectures underpinning them — focusing on meeting highly ambitious performance and energy usage objectives. The KerData team has hosted 2 Early Stage Researchers in this framework and has co-advised an extra PhD student.
Collaborations with Major European Organizations
BDVA and ETP4HPC
Gabriel Antoniu and Alexandru Costan are serving as Inria representatives in the working groups dedicated to HPC-Big Data convergence within the Big Data Value Association (BDVA) and the European Technology Platform in the area of High-Performance Computing (ETP4HPC). They are contributing to the definition of the respective Strategic Research Agendas of BDVA and ETP4HPC. A special focus this year of their contributions was the Joint BDVA-ETP4HPC report on technology convergence.
