We present SciServer, a science platform built and supported by the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science at the Johns Hopkins University. SciServer builds upon and extends the SkyServer system of server-side tools that introduced the astronomical community to SQL (Structured Query Language) and has been serving the Sloan Digital Sky Survey catalog data to the public. SciServer uses a Docker/VM based architecture to provide interactive and batch mode server-side analysis with scripting languages like Python and R in various environments including Jupyter (notebooks), RStudio and command-line in addition to traditional SQL-based data analysis. Users have access to private file storage as well as personal SQL database space. A flexible resource access control system allows users to share their resources with collaborators, a feature that has also been very useful in classroom environments. All these services, wrapped in a layer of REST APIs, constitute a scalable collaborative data-driven science platform that is attractive to science disciplines beyond astronomy.

SciServer:天文学及其他科学平台

我们介绍SciServer,这是一个科学平台,由约翰·霍普金斯大学数据密集型工程与科学研究所构建并提供支持。SciServer建立在SkyServer服务器端工具系统上并对其进行了扩展,该系统将天文社区引入了SQL(结构化查询语言),并一直向公众提供Sloan Digital Sky Survey目录数据。SciServer使用基于Docker / VM的体系结构,除了传统的基于SQL的数据分析之外,还在包括Jupyter(笔记本),RStudio和命令行在内的各种环境中使用Python和R等脚本语言提供交互式和批处理模式的服务器端分析。用户可以访问私有文件存储以及个人SQL数据库空间。灵活的资源访问控制系统允许用户与合作者共享他们的资源,该功能在教室环境中也非常有用。所有这些服务都包裹在REST API的一层中,构成了可伸缩的协作数据驱动的科学平台,这对天文学以外的科学学科都具有吸引力。
