Abstract

As some scientific data resources grow well past the terabyte mark, so do the technical challenges of analyzing and retrieving such data. When presented with such a large volume, prior data delivery techniques, such as the timehonored system of simply copying all data to local storage prior to analysis, become impractical. We present CASJobs, an online workbench that focuses on enabling server-side exploratory and analytical tasks on large sets of data.
