Data
The NDS consortium provides access to a number of high-impact research datasets and repositories serving multiple disciplines. Many of these datasets are too large to fit in traditional models of research data access and discovery and must be access "in-place." NDS is working to streamline access to these and similar datasets through the vision of a DataDNS service.
Featured Datasets
MHD Turbulence in Core-Collapse Supernovae
A series of snapshots in time from four ultra-high resolution 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of rapidly rotating stellar core-collapse. The simulations were run on the Blue Waters supercomputer using the Einstein Toolkit. Dataset size: 201 TB.
Access
This dataset is currently available via Globus and Swift object storage at SDSC Cloud . Data DOI: http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.21970/N9RP4P .

National Bridge Inventory (NBI)
In collaboration with the Midwest Big Data Hub (MBDH) and researchers at the University of Nebraska, Omaha , NDS is hosting an instance of the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) dataset stored in a Mongo database for active analysis along with Jupyter notebooks demonstrating sample analysis. The NBI database widely used for bridge health and safey research.
Access
The NBI database and Jupyter environment are available via the Labs Workbench service.

TERRA Phenotyping Reference Platform (TERRA-REF)
The ARPA-E TERRA-REF project provides researchers with access to the reference phenotyping data and analytics resources using a high performance computing environment. The reference phenotyping data includes direct measurements and sensor observations, derived plant phenotypes, and genetic and genomic data. The data storage and compute pipeline are hosted on the ROGER system at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). The complete reference dataset is expected to be >2 PB.
Access
The TERRA-REF data is hosted on the ROGER system and available via Globus , Sensor Data Portal , and the Analysis Workbench.
