Batch is back: CasJobs, serving multi-TB data on the Web
William OMullane, Nolan Li, Maria Nieto-Santisteban +3
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) science database describes over 140 million objects and is over 1.5 TB in size. The SDSS Catalog Archive Server (CAS) provides several levels of…
When Database Systems Meet the Grid
Maria A. Nieto-Santisteban, Alexander S. Szalay, Aniruddha R. Thakar +3
We illustrate the benefits of combining database systems and Grid technologies for data-intensive applications. Using a cluster of SQL servers, we reimplemented an existing Grid ap…
Scientific Data Management in the Coming Decade
Jim Gray, David T. Liu, Maria Nieto-Santisteban +3
This is a thought piece on data-intensive science requirements for databases and science centers. It argues that peta-scale datasets will be housed by science centers that provide…
There Goes the Neighborhood: Relational Algebra for Spatial Data Search
Jim Gray, Alexander S. Szalay, Aniruddha R. Thakar +5
We explored ways of doing spatial search within a relational database: (1) hierarchical triangular mesh (a tessellation of the sphere), (2) a zoned bucketing system, and (3) repres…
Extending the SDSS Batch Query System to the National Virtual Observatory Grid
Maria A. Nieto-Santisteban, William O'Mullane, Jim Gray +4
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey science database is approaching 2TB. While the vast majority of queries normally execute in seconds or minutes, this interactive execution time can be…
Multi-Read Out Data Simulator
J. D. Offenberg, R. J. Hanisch, D. J. Fixsen +4
We present a data simulation package designed to create a series of simulated data samples for a detector with non-destructive sampling capability. The original intent of this soft…
