Bridging the HPC/Data Divide: Data Challenges and Solutions in the HPC World

Scientific advances designed to address global challenges require researchers to have seamless access to data and computing and increasingly high performance computing. A certain disconnect has characterized the relationship between the HPC and data communities and this needs to be addressed in order to fully support today's data and compute intensive science. This BoF aims to continue conversations held with the data and HPC communities at the IDW22 - Research Data Alliance Plenary and SC22. It will explore specific data challenges and solutions in the HPC world and discuss paths for closer collaboration in the future. This will help avoid duplication of efforts and leverage the strengths of these communities for the wider benefit of research and innovation advancements across domains and sectors. The BoF will probe topics like applying data management best practice and techniques, including robust vocabularies, to produce, curate and mine HPC CS data; sharing the data access and data management expertise including the broader adoption of the FAIR principles across communities or managing sensitive data and the CARE principles.
