Data from instruments and observations are being generated at increasing rates which leads to increased challenges in data management and computation. It is critical that we address these challenges because these large datasets enable massive breakthroughs across many scientific disciplines. Instruments and observations can generate terabytes of data per day, which often must be transferred from remote locations, field stations, or core facilities to the user's home system for storage and analysis. To address these challenges, The University of Chicago (UChicago) will acquire and operate a Data Lifecycle Instrument (DaLI) to manage and share data from instruments and observations at UChicago and the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). DaLI will simplify data management for researchers, allowing them to acquire, transfer, process, and share data from instruments and observations in a single workflow as well as share their data with a larger community of users. In partnership with UChicago, MBL, and collaborating Minority Serving Institutions, DaLI will be used as a training instrument to prepare students to meet the data challenges of the 21st century and will support several outreach programs. The Data Lifecycle instrument (DaLI) for management and sharing of data from instruments and observations will enable researchers to (a) acquire, transfer, process, and store data from experiments and observations in a unified workflow, (b) manage data collections over their entire life cycle, and (c) share and publish data. DaLI will also (d) enhance outreach and education opportunities and (e) provide a replicable model for other institutions. DaLI will create a scalable, seamless, and replicable infrastructure for data management and sharing to enable new transformative science and enable researchers to implement best practices in data management. The DaLI platform will consist of four pools of resources: a high-performance compute resource for pre- and post-processing of data, a high-performance storage pool, a low cost storage pool, and a tape backup pool. In addition to hardware, DaLI is designed to have software tools that create intuitive interfaces for data lifecycle management and integration with the campus and national cyberinfrastructures.

来自工具和观察结果的数据正在以越来越多的速度生成，这导致数据管理和计算方面的挑战增加。至关重要的是，我们要解决这些挑战，因为这些大型数据集在许多科学学科中都能取得巨大的突破。仪器和观察结果每天可以生成数据的数据，这些数据通常必须从远程位置，现场站或核心设施传输到用户的家庭系统以进行存储和分析。为了应对这些挑战，芝加哥大学（UCHICAGO）将收购和操作数据生命周期工具（DALI），以管理和共享Uchicago和海洋生物实验室（MBL）的工具和观察结果的数据。达利（Dali）将简化研究人员的数据管理，使他们能够从单个工作流程中的工具和观察结果中获取，传输，处理和共享数据，并与更大的用户共享数据。与Uchicago，MBL和合作的少数民族服务机构合作，Dali将被用作培训工具，以准备学生应对21世纪的数据挑战，并将支持多个外展计划。用于管理和共享工具和观察数据的数据生命周期工具（DALI）将使研究人员能够（a）在统一工作流程中从实验和观察结果中获取，转移，处理，处理和存储数据，（b）在整个生命周期内管理数据收集，以及（c）共享和发布数据。达利还将（d）增强外展和教育机会，（e）为其他机构提供可复制的模型。 Dali将创建一个可扩展的，无缝的和可复制的基础架构，用于数据管理并共享以实现新的变革性科学，并使研究人员能够在数据管理中实施最佳实践。 DALI平台将由四个资源组成：用于数据预先和后处理的高性能计算资源，高性能存储池，低成本存储池和磁带备份池。除了硬件外，Dali旨在拥有软件工具，可以创建直观的接口，用于数据生命周期管理，并与校园和国家网络基础设施集成。
