Background:
This interest group emerged from break-out meetings at NDS7 concerning container-based architectures for interactive analysis and batch pipelines. The pattern of providing interactive container-based analysis environments (e.g., Jupyter notebooks, Rstudio, Matlab and other programming environments) near large public datasets has been evolving for several years. Examples can be found in ytHub, SciServer, Whole Tale, and the Labs Workbench projects. Additionally, we are seeing use cases to support batch processing (including distributed). Examples can be found in KnowEng and the SBGrid projects.
Purpose:
The purpose of this interest group is to share information about container-based architectures to support interactive and batch access to research data. This may include
Activities:
Specific activities may include:
- Sharing use cases and system architecture information
- Coordinating workshop
