Filter Flow
People:
Rahul Dave, Evan Morikawa, Pavlos Protopapas.FilterFlow is an application by IIC summer intern Evan Morikawa to enable transformations on light curves in a structured, repeatable, and provenanced manner. A filter workflow is developed using a single example of a lightcurve or combination of light curves, and then extended to larger sets in batch. The batch workflow may be run on a cluster. The application has a runtime and a GUI to create the workflow.
One of the rationales for this application is the observation that network bandwidth is not keepng pace with storage, and pre-processing and initial compressive transformation on the data may need to be carried out at the location of the data itself. Enabling this in a structured fashion allows for filters to be reused and transformation products themselves to be reused by other researchers. This application is a prototype towards this vision.
More information about this application can currently be found in Evan Morikawa's poster (PDF 540K) for ADASS 2007 and his internship presentation. Check this space for more updates and software deliverables later!
