Exascale HPC platforms will share characteristics with large-scale data processing platforms: relatively small main memory per node, relatively slow communication between nodes, and IO a limiting factor. Relevant database techniques in this setting include a rigorous data model, cost-based optimization, declarative query languages, logical and physical data independence have been applied to new data types (trees, streams, graphs, arrays), new applications (financial markets, image analysis, DNA sequence analysis, social networks) and new platforms (sensor networks, embedded systems, GPGPUs, shared-nothing commodity clusters, cloud platforms). But these techniques have only been minimally explored in the high-performance computing community. In this workshop, we invite position papers that explore the design space between the two communities.
