A horizontally-scalable multiprocessing platform based on Node.js
This paper presents a scalable web-based platform called Node Scala which
allows to split and handle requests on a parallel distributed system according
to pre-defined use cases. We applied this platform to a client application that
visualizes climate data stored in a NoSQL database MongoDB. The design of Node
Scala leads to efficient usage of available computing resources in addition to
allowing the system to scale simply by adding new workers. Performance
evaluation of Node Scala demonstrated a gain of up to 74 % compared to the
state-of-the-art techniques.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication as a conference paper

Helmholtz Portfolio Theme Large-Scale Data Management and Analysis (LSDMA)
The Helmholtz Association funded the "Large-Scale Data Management and Analysis" portfolio theme from 2012-2016. Four Helmholtz centres, six universities and another research institution in Germany joined to enable data-intensive science by optimising data life cycles in selected scientific communities. In our Data Life cycle Labs, data experts performed joint R&D together with scientific communities. The Data Services Integration Team focused on generic solutions applied by several communities
