However, the widening performance gap between processors and storage, and trends toward higher data intensity in scientific and engineering applications, suggest there is a need to rethink HPC system architectures, programming models, runtime systems, and tools with a focus on data intensive computing. The 2nd International Workshop on Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS) builds on the momentum generated by its predecessor workshop, providing a forum for researchers and other interested people in the areas of data intensive computing and high performance parallel computing to exchange ideas and discuss approaches for addressing Big Data challenges. The workshop includes a keynote address and presentation of peer-reviewed research papers, with ample opportunity for informal discussion throughout the day. More information about the DISCS workshop can be found from the workshop website at https://ft.ornl.gov/discs-2013/.
