IPE 08-19 Internship: Web-based monitoring of large-scale data in scientific experiments

Job description

Complex and distributed data acquisition systems are used to operate modern scientific experiments. The data rates are growing rapidly. More and more interaction between measurement and simulation subsystems and data storage in a traceable and referenceable manner is required. On the other hand recently new technologies have been introduced, that significantly increasing computing throughput by Parallel & GPU computing, Grids and Clouds or enable interactive web applications (HTML5, WebGL, WebCL). This gives rise to the adoption of these new technologies and to combine data management and scientific computing.

The work is embedded in a project that aims to develop a new platform for storage of large archives of multi-dimensional time series data. Our objective is to design a flexible data management platform and on top of it to build customizable data portals for upcoming scientific experiments. The student will join project and contribute code to various parts of the system in both data management backend and web frontends.

Personal qualification

Required Skills
