Abstract

This Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) project improves how we manage and process gigantic scientific data collections using an open-source, easy-to-use software framework called OpenVisus. The project addresses the growing problem that researchers and professionals in areas such as engineering, materials science, and biology face, as they typically deal with very large datasets. The project makes sophisticated data tools accessible to a wider audience, including those without specialized computer science expertise. This availability will accelerate scientific discoveries, improve workflow efficiencies, and reduce the cost and time requirements for handling massive data sets. The new framework enhances science and technology comprehension by facilitating rapid, interactive analysis of complex data, fostering collaboration, and supporting education. This approach provides the United States with a competitive advantage in data-driven research and technology. This advantage benefits instructors, researchers, and industry professionals who require robust and agile solutions for big data challenges. This Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) project establishes a sustainable and robust open-source ecosystem for OpenVisus, which manages and visualizes large, gridded datasets. OpenVisus provides a user-friendly framework for multi-resolution, out-of-core visualization of massive datasets. It is optimized for efficient streaming and remote access of data
