Query: ArrayBridge: Interweaving declarative array processing with
  high-performance computing   Scientists are increasingly turning to datacenter-scale computers to produce
and analyze massive arrays. Despite decades of database research that extols
the virtues of declarative query processing, scientists still write, debug and
parallelize imperative HPC kernels even for the most mundane queries. This
impedance mismatch has been partly attributed to the cumbersome data loading
process; in response, the database community has proposed in situ mechanisms to
access data in scientific file formats. Scientists, however, desire more than a
passive access method that reads arrays from files.
  This paper describes ArrayBridge, a bi-directional array view mechanism for
scientific file formats, that aims to make declarative array manipulations
interoperable with imperative file-centric analyses. Our prototype
implementation of ArrayBridge uses HDF5 as the underlying array storage library
and seamlessly integrates into the SciDB open-source array database system. In
addition to fast querying over external array objects, ArrayBridge produces
arrays in the HDF5 file format just as easily as it can read from it.
ArrayBridge also supports time travel queries from imperative kernels through
the unmodified HDF5 API, and automatically deduplicates between array versions
for space efficiency. Our extensive performance evaluation in NERSC, a
large-scale scientific computing facility, shows that ArrayBridge exhibits
statistically indistinguishable performance and I/O scalability to the native
SciDB storage engine.
