Abstract"

In the era of big data, huge amount of data has been generated and needs
to be stored, processed, and transferred efficiently. With the emergence
of big data, traditional storage systems face many new challenges, among
them are data reliability and storage reduction efficiency.

In this talk, I will first discuss the big data challenges and then share
our exploration in data reliability and reduction, specifically in two
aspects: 1) Understanding, modeling, and exploring lossy compression
schemes for large scale scientific data; 2) Investigating and developing
techniques for reliable data storage.
