PROV-IO+: A Cross-Platform Provenance Framework for Scientific Data on HPC Systems

Runzhou Han, Mai Zheng, Suren Byna +8

Data provenance, or data lineage, describes the life cycle of data. In scientific workflows on HPC systems, scientists often seek diverse provenance (e.g., origins of data products…
