Hey Guys,
I submitted a CAS-PGE talk for ApacheCon. See: Title Rapid and Unobtrusive Algorithm Integration with CAS-PGE Event ApacheCon North America Submission Type Presentation Category Developer Biography Chris Mattmann has a wealth of experience in software design, and in the construction of large-scale data-intensive systems. His work has infected a broad set of communities, ranging from helping NASA unlock data from its next generation of earth science system satellites, to assisting graduate students at the University of Southern California (his Alma mater) in the study of software architecture, all the way to helping industry and open source as a member of the Apache Software Foundation. When he's not busy being busy, he's spending time with his lovely wife and son braving the mean streets of Southern California. Abstract Apache OODT is a science data processing framework that is NASA's first project to be released to the ASF. One of OODT's core capabilities is to incorporate science user developed code and automate it and make it run at scale. The algorithm integration facilities of Apache OODT are encapsulated within the CAS-PGE framework. Put simply our answer to you to make your science algorithm run at scale isn't to rewrite it as Map Reduce; or to rewrite it as a web service. Leave it the way it is and let CAS-PGE take care of it for you. CAS-PGE models your algorithms' inputs and outputs, describes its execution framework and catalogs and archives those inputs and outputs using the file management component. This tutorial will walk you through CAS-PGE. We'll set it up. We'll run a Moon image processing example end to end through CAS-PGE and get you crackin' away at algorithm integration! Audience Users of Apache OODT; folks who write code in Matlab, Python R, Scala, and who use science packages like CASApy, IDL/ENVI and other algorithm frameworks. Folks who are looking for something different than write it in Map Reduce. Folks who are interested in YARN/MR2 and Spark/Shark. Experience Level Intermediate Benefits to the Ecosystem We haven't given a detailed presentation on CAS-PGE yet. I've given presentations on CAS, on the OODT ecosystem, on PCS and the OPSUI, on how to apply OODT to use cases, and on how to install OODT and workflows within OODT. A core component of OODT without an ApacheCon talk is CAS-PGE. Technical Requirements Nothing more than a projector, beer (did I say that?), and don't even need an Internet connection (though would be great to have one). Status New
