Scientific Data Management, Analysis and Visualization at Extreme Scale

The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) in the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby invites applications for basic research that significantly advances management, analysis and visualization of data in disciplines supported by DOE in the context of emerging architectures for extreme scale computing platforms.The purpose of this announcement is to invite applications for basic computer science research on five major themes:1. Usability and user interface design;2. In situ methods for data management, analysis and visualization;3. Design of in situ workflows to support data management, processing, analysis and visualization;4. New approaches to scalable interactive visual analytic environments; and/or5. Proxy applications or workflows and/or simulations for data management, analysis and visualization software to support co-design of extreme scale systems.The supported research will lay the foundation for building the software infrastructure to support scientific data management, analysis and visualization in the context of extreme scale computing.A companion Program Announcement to DOE Laboratories (LAB 14-1043) will be posted on the SC Grants and Contracts web site at: http://science.energy.gov/grants/The full text of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is located on FedConnect. Instructions for completing the Grant Application Package are contained in the full text of the FOA which can be obtained at: https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0001043&agency=DOE.
