SUMMARY:The Swiss Data Cube: A Platform as a Service (PaaS) for Environmen
 tal Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nThe Swiss Data Cube: A Platform as a Service 
 (PaaS) for Environmental Monitoring\n\nRodila, Giuliani\n\nThe Swiss Data 
 Cube is the second operational Data Cube in the World after Australia. It 
 aims at unleashing the information power of Big Earth Data for monitoring 
 the environment, providing Analysis Ready Data over all Switzerland since 
 1984 and updated daily. Based on an innovative analytical cloud-computing 
 platform for accessing, visualization and analysis of optical and radar im
 agery, the SDC minimizes the time and knowledge required for analyses and 
 offers consistent calibrated and spatially aligned satellite observations.
  It opens up a wide range of applications for environmental monitoring and
  reporting, facilitating new research to enhance knowledge.  Currentl
 y, we are looking for ways to improve the efficiency of the SDC by making 
 use of the HPC cluster that we have at the University of Geneva, as w
 ell as other Cloud platforms if available. The presentation will focu
 s on the computational and technical challenges that we have encountered d
 uring the process of parallelizing and porting the SDC on the Baobab HPC c
 luster. Different options were analyzed and compared to find the most suit
 able and flexible solution to execute analysis on the SDC as efficient as 
 possible, considering not only the scale of the analysis but also the conc
 urrency of the users.\n\nDomain: Emerging Applications
