Accelerating Data Analysis in Simulation Neuroscience with Big Data Technologies

Important progress in computational sciences has been made possible recently thanks to the increasing computing power of high performance systems. Following this trend, larger scientific studies, like brain tissue simulations, will continue to grow in the future. In addition to the challenges of conducting these experiments, we foresee an explosion of the amount of data generated and the consequent unfeasibility of analyzing and understanding the results with the current techniques.
