Making QCD Lattice Data Accessible and Organized through Advanced Web Interfaces

Understand

The Gauge Connection at qcd.nersc.gov is one of the most popular repositories of QCD lattice ensembles.

• It is used to access 16TB of archived QCD data from the High Performance Storage System (HPSS) at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC).
• Here, we present a new web interface for qcd.nersc.gov which allows physicists to browse and search the data, as well as download individual files or entire ensembles in batch.
• Our system distinguishes itself from others because of its ease of use and web based workflow.
