DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Current interest from the HPC community in data-intensive computing, simpler programming models, in situ analytics, ad hoc data analysis, and interactive control of long computations offers new opportunities for engagement between the database and HPC communities.  The relational model for databases revolutionized business data management, leading to a $30B market and a vibrant startup community.  The key idea is to “push computation to the data,” insulating applications from details of data representation and system architecture while affording runtime optimizations unavailable to compile-time techniques.  The techniques of this approach – a rigorous data model, declarative query languages, cost-based optimization, logical and physical data independence – have been applied to new data types (streams, graphs, arrays), new applications (imaging, genomics, GIS, finance) and new platforms (embedded, GPGPUs, cloud).  But this approach has only been minimally explored in HPC contexts.  In this workshop, we invite position papers that explore this space.
