<p class=MsoNormal>Special Issue of Journal of Parallel and Distributed
Computing on "Data Intensive Computing"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Data intensive computing is posing many challenges in
exploiting parallelism of current and upcoming computer architectures. Data
volumes of applications in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance,
media, online information resources, etc. are expected to double every two
years over the next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it
is necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous
computing power that is available in the form of multicore/manycore platforms.
There is no doubt in the industry and research community that the importance of
data intensive computing has been raising and will continue to be the foremost
fields of research. This raise brings up many research issues, in forms of
capturing and accessing data effectively and fast, processing it while still
achieving high performance and high throughput, and storing it efficiently for
future use. Programming for high performance yielding data intensive computing
is an important challenging issue. Expressing data access requirements of
applications and designing programming language abstractions to exploit
parallelism are at immediate need. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application and domain specific optimizations are also parts
of a viable solution in data intensive computing. While these are a few
examples of issues, research in data intensive computing has become quite
intense during the last few years yielding strong results.<o:p></o:p></p>
