CLDS (www.clds.info) was established in 2012 as an industry-university partnership to study and address technical as well as technology management-related challenges facing information-intensive organizations in the era of big data. CLDS specializes in developing applicable concepts, frameworks, analytical approaches, case analyses and systems solutions to big data management, with a related goal of developing a set of benchmarks for providing objective measures of the effectiveness of hardware and software systems dealing with data-intensive applications. Based at SDSC to leverage the Center’s resources and large-scale compute and storage resources, current CLDS initiatives include the Big Data Benchmarking Community effort and the How Much Information? research program.
As an industry-university collaboration, CLDS encourages participation by industry and welcomes industry sponsorship of projects. Center research is available via a variety of venues, including working papers, research briefings, multi-company forum workshops and sponsor conferences.
CLDS is led by Dr. Chaitan Baru and Dr. James Short
