Engineering Professor Helps Invent New Methods of Data Management

Friday, March 25, 2022
Reflect for a moment on how you'd manage your terabyte-scale hard drive if the data were literally one million times bigger. Then you'd be working with exabytes, which is the reality for supercomputer users at federal laboratories across the country, one of which is relying on Assistant Professor Qing Liu to mitigate their information storage problems by studying new methods of data reduction. Liu, along with Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distinguished Scientist Scott Klasky, is aiming to see what happens when data from research such as fusion experiments and climate change models...
