TITLE:
Diamond: A Storage Architecture for Early Discard in Interactive Search
ABSTRACT:
As storage capacities continue to increase and digital data is more readily
available, it has become increasingly difficult to find specific items
in a large collections of complex data (digital images, protein structures,
etc.).
This talk describes a system, Diamond, which has been designed to enable interactive applications that search large, un-indexed data sets. Diamond enables efficient search through "early discard"; eliminating the bulk of the irrelevant items as early as possible. Diamond provides additional efficiency by re-ordering search tasks and by dynamically partitioning computation between host computer and the storage devices to adapt to different hardware configurations and network bandwidths. This talk will present some performance measurements using our application for searching digital images.
