Beowulf Analysis Symbolic INterface BASIN: Interactive Parallel Data Analysis for Everyone
29 Apr 2008
Abstract
The advent of affordable parallel computers such as Beowulf PC clusters and,
more recently, of multi-core PCs has been highly beneficial for a large number
of scientists and smaller institutions that might not otherwise have access to
substantial computing facilities. However, there has not been an analogous
progress in the development and dissemination of parallel software: scientists
need the expertise to develop parallel codes and have to invest a significant
amount of time in the development of tools even for the most common data
analysis tasks. We describe the Beowulf Analysis Symbolic INterface (BASIN) a
multi-user parallel data analysis and visualization framework. BASIN is aimed
at providing scientists with a suite of parallel libraries for astrophysical
data analysis along with general tools for data distribution and parallel
operations on distributed data to allow them to easily develop new parallel
libraries for their specific tasks.
