Research Role: I/O steering for Big Data and HPC

An opportunity for an exceptional masters graduate, Early Stage Researcher, to gain a PhD whilst working in Seagate, a leading edge technology company. You will be one of 15 ESR's in a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Networks (ETN), 'BigStorage' (http://bigstorage.oeg-upm.net/index.html).

Context: We have entered the era of Big Data, where the size of data generated by digital media, social networks and scientific instruments is increasing at an extreme rate. To gain value from this data, Big Data must be stored, processed and analyzed. This in turn requires introducing new techniques for Big Data management at Exascale, which include Cloud and High Performance Computing infrastructures.

Problem: The traditional data storage techniques used in high performance parallel storage already show limitations when pushed to their limits with workflows and data organization often devised many decades ago and that are inconsistent with new generations of object based data storage that are rapidly replacing the traditional distributed file system architectures adopted so far.

Proposed research: This PhD thesis will address the problem of efficient Cloud and HPC Big Data management, developing a framework and defining policies for guided I/O interfaces overcoming existing limitations. This work will be done with reference to real and challenging use cases such as data handling for the Square Kilometer Array radio telescope (SKA) or flagship Human Brain projects.
