Participants in the international workshop series on Big Data and Extreme-scale Computing (BDEC) are endeavoring to systematically map out the ways in which the major issues associated with Big Data interact with plans for achieving exascale computing. This meeting will present an overview of the draft BDEC report and elicit SC’15 community input on the development of a roadmap for the convergence on a common software infrastructure of currently disparate software ecosystems.
