  4. The NOAOData Products Program& End-to-EndData Management System R. Chris Smith for the NOAO Data Products Program team DES/DPP Sept 2008

  5. DPPProgram Motivation NOAO Mission (Cooperative Agreement version) “Provide broad community access, based on peer review, to a complete and balanced system of state-of-the-art facilities, including telescopes of all apertures AND THE DATA FROM THEM.” DPP Charge (ReSTAR version) “All facilities participating in the System … should provide data that can be reduced using standard systems and the data should be made publicly available after an appropriate proprietary period. Pipeline Reduction is encouraged if appropriate.” DECam = CERTAINLY appropriate DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  6. DPPProgram Overview • Two Complementary Pieces • Data Management for the System • Capture, Preserve, Process (some), Provide Access • First for existing NOAO facilities • New NOAO and affiliate instruments w/ pipelines • Later for broader System facilities • Science Support Software • Supporting Science with data from NOAO and System • Linking GB O/IR data to larger (multiwavelength) System through VO standards and technologies • Support community access to new initiatives (e.g., LSST), through user portals and analysis tools DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  7. Data Managementfor NOAO & System • Motivation • Data capture and preservation • Preserving investment in telescope nights • Important for time domain… looking back! • Support Archival Science (more efficient use of telescope time) • New instruments & large data volumes changing model of how we do science • Who are we Serving? User Groups include… • PI use (proprietary) • Download data, data backup, preliminary processing of large datasets, reference to data for publications • Default proprietary period = 18 months for visiting astronomers • Archival use (non-proprietary) • Images (raw & some reduced) in support of new science • Catalogs, e.g., MOSAIC, NEWFIRM, etc. • Survey use • Archive high-level products for long term; ensure long-term return on telescope time invested in surveys, e.g., DES! DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  8. NOAOData Management • Management of data from all NOAO and some affiliated facilities = capturing CONTENT • KPNO, including Mayall 4m (MOSAIC, NEWFIRM,+) • CTIO, including Blanco 4m (MOSAIC, ISPI,+) • Plus SOAR & WIYN systems TOTAL >30 instruments • “Back end” = ACCESS • Provide access to large volume (TBs to PBs) of archived ground-based optical & infrared data and data products through standard interfaces (VO) • “Front end” = UI and TOOLS • Enable science (data discovery, understanding, access, and analysis) by developing and operating user interfaces, tools, and services (VO, web, and desktop) DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  9. What is “E2E”? • The integrated end-to-end (E2E) system for NOAO and System data management, including data capture, transport, ingestion, archiving, pipeline processing, and user access (data discovery, retrieval, and analysis) • A modern infrastructure to support the science of the U.S. ground-based O/IR astronomy community • Components • Data Capture (iSTB) & Transport (DCI, DS) • Pipelines • NOAO Science Archive (NSA) • NOAO VO Portal • Distributed operations at 6 sites (3 mtn, 3 base) DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  10. Scope of theE2E system • Data from • >30 instruments (many commissioned >10 years ago) • On 11 telescopes • On 3 mountaintops (KP, CT, CP) • On 2 continents • To storage at • 3 sites: Tucson, La Serena, NCSA • All archived, some processed • Processing wide-field imaging = MOSAIC & NEWFIRM • Delivered to users throughout the world • Through VO interfaces & portal DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  12. Data Management DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  13. Data Capture & Transport I • Entry point into E2E system • Capture currently “iSTB” (Save The Bits) • Evolution from STB system; >10yrs of experience • Evolution in future: move from lpr base to similar queue based system • Feed data to Mountain Cache • Currently = 2TB non-scalable “data brick” • FY09 purchase = 16TB scalable “data brick” • Operational request ~2 months of storage • DECam @ 350GB/night, 1month = 10.5TB DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  14. Data Capture & Transport II • Transport & Storage • DCI v1/v2: operational for >4 years now • Has moved & persisted >25 TB • Replicated full copies stored in 3 locations • Current fundamental underpinning: SDSC’s SRB • SRB no longer supported • We are evaluating alternative storage options • Including SRB “replacement” = iRODs • To be evaluated in collaboration with NCSA and LSST • Next version possibly Java-based “Data Service” on top of new storage system DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  15. Data Capture& Transport III • Networks • Mountain-La Serena • Currently 300Mbps; Shared with Gemini • Have joined the 2x155Mbps into single large pipe • La Serena-U.S. • Currently 50Mbps; Shared with Gemini • Contract ends in late 2009 • Discussions of next contract already begun for more than 100Mbps DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  16. Pipelines:MOSAIC+NEWFIRM • Current v1.1 MOSAIC pipeline produces: • Processed science images (“level 2 products”) • Data quality pixel masks • Data quality information (headers & archive database) • Tangent-plane reprojected images • PNG preview images • Combined/processed calibration data (e.g., flatfields, etc.) • Stacked dithers • NEWFIRM v1.0 • 4Kx4K Infrared Wide-field Imager • Real-time pipeline already deployed at KPNO 4m • Science pipeline in beta this semester DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  17. MOSAIC Pipeline: MOSAIC pipeline processes data by observing run, removing instrumental signatures and calibrating astrometry, photometry, and measuring data quality. New features (under development for 2008B): Stacked dither sequences with cosmic ray and transient rejection. DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008

  20. Pipeline Reductions • NEWFIRM • Quick Reduce pipeline operational at KP 4m during 2008A • Provides reduced, stacked image mosaics during night (using “processing shortcuts”) • Provides data quality information, including seeing, sky brightness, transparency • Good feedback from users! • Science Pipeline being readied for testing and science verification in 2008B • Partially paced by instrument stabilizing (no major ongoing modifications) and developing a full understanding of the instrument (e.g., persistence). DES/DPP Meeting Sept 2008
