Object Storage, Persistent Memory, and Data Infrastructure for HPC Materials Informatics (2210.07929v1)
Published 6 Oct 2022 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci, cs.DB, and cs.DC
Abstract: Speculation is provided on how infrastructure choices fit into the materials data ecosystem. Special attention is paid to object storage, the Intel DAOS API, storage-class memory (SCM), and the prospect of non-von Neumann computing. Lastly, the hypothesized implications of data infrastructure choices on a sample materials informatics problem is discussed: computational materials discovery of phase-change materials with properties tailored for phase-change memory (PCM). The motivation for selecting PCM as a sample materials informatics case study comes from its relevance to emerging SCM hardware.
