Data-Intensive Computing Initiative (DICI)
Research Area: Software Architecture
"Middleware for DICI" (MeDICI) is an adaptable architecture that provides a programming model to enable data-intensive computing. MeDICI's information architecture is a domain-agnostic platform for integrating heterogeneous hardware components, software applications, and analysis algorithms to create dynamic, adaptive information analysis environments.
MeDICI comprises three major subcomponents that are loosely coupled: adaptive workflow for application coordination, SIFT for scalable component integration, and data virtualization for capturing provenance and managing logical files.
DICI projects that support this R&D capability:
- Intelligent Compression and Data Organization for Multidimensional Data Volumes
- Adaptive Workflow in Data Intensive Environments
- MeDICi - Middleware for Data Intensive Computing
- A Data Virtualization Architecture
