Big Data

Improved scientific instruments, increasing volume and lifecycle of sensors, and the passage of time all contribute to making the conveyance, cataloging, and analysis of large data sets more complex endeavors.

CEGIS research works to find efficient ways to access and process large and diverse datasets. We seek to optimize computation time and related storage requirements.

Big data

Big data typically refers to data sets that are too large to be dealt with by traditional data-related software. It can be difficult to move around, to maintain, to search, and to use effectively. Improved scientific instruments, increasing volume and lifecycle of sensors, and the passage of time all contribute to making the conveyance, cataloging, and analysis of large data sets more complex...
