论文摘要
数据科学的数据和进步量的越来越多，已经需要一种新型的云平台，该平台为用户提供了灵活性，强大的安全性以及通过高性能网络与超级计算机和边缘设备相配的能力。我们已经建立了这样一个全国性的云平台，称为“ MDX”，以满足这一需求。 MDX平台的虚拟化服务由9所国立大学和日本的2家国家研究机构共同经营，并于2021年启动，并且正在开发更多功能。目前，MDX在许多领域的研究人员使用，包括材料信息学，地理空间信息科学，生命科学，天文学，经济学，社会科学和计算机科学。本文提供了MDX平台的概述，详细介绍了其开发的动机，报告其当前状态并概述了其未来计划。
The growing amount of data and advances in data science have created a need for a new kind of cloud platform that provides users with flexibility, strong security, and the ability to couple with supercomputers and edge devices through high-performance networks. We have built such a nation-wide cloud platform, called "mdx" to meet this need. The mdx platform's virtualization service, jointly operated by 9 national universities and 2 national research institutes in Japan, launched in 2021, and more features are in development. Currently mdx is used by researchers in a wide variety of domains, including materials informatics, geo-spatial information science, life science, astronomical science, economics, social science, and computer science. This paper provides an the overview of the mdx platform, details the motivation for its development, reports its current status, and outlines its future plans.
