Abstract:
The SciDAC-funded Center for Enabling Distributed Petascale Science (CEDPS) will produce technical innovations designed to allow for

(a) rapid and dependable data placement within a distributed high-performance environment and

(b) the convenient construction of scalable science services that provide for the reliable and high-performance processing of computation and data analysis requests from many remote clients.

CEDPS will also address the important problem of troubleshooting these and other related ultra-high-performance distributed activities from the perspective of both performance and functionality.
