Call for Participation Knowledge is Power: Metadata for Archiving BoF at SC19

November 21, 2019 12:15-1:15
Room 301-303

Currently, HPC archiving is a largely hopeful enterprise because the community lacks the infrastructure needed to help users identify what an archived dataset contains and who generated it. Although metadata management offers a potential solution, the community has yet to realize a system that fully addresses the archiving problem. The goal of this BoF is to bring together the groups that have been working individually on this problem to gather requirements for an effective, exascale solution and to try and generate a common framework for moving forward.
