Move That Data! was the first-ever Data Mover challenge on a global scale and the inaugural edition held in Singapore at Asia 2019 Supercomputing Conference. The challenge aimed to bring together experts from industry and academia, in a bid to test their software across servers located in various countries (USA, Singapore, Australia, Japan) that are connected by 100G international networks.
This workshop was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under the PRP Cooperative Agreement, ACI-1541349 to UC San Diego and UC Berkeley, and Montana State University’s CC*DNI Award ACI-1541252. Co-sponsors of the workshop include the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), Calit2’s Qualcomm Institute, the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC), Internet2, ESnet, Montana State University, , and Pacific Interface, Inc.
This one-day workshop will focus on the challenges shared between observational astronomy and modern microscopy workflows. Advances in instrumentation, computation and data management for both microscopy and astronomy suggest opportunities for the broader scientific community to learn from the challenges common to both fields.
The National Science Foundation’s Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure created the Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBs) program in 2012 and since then has issued annual updated solicitations [1]. More than 50 awards have been funded or co-funded by the DIBBs program through a collaborative approach with all seven NSF research and education directorates.
