title = "DataVault: A data storage infrastructure for the Einstein Toolkit",
abstract = "Data sharing is essential in the numerical simulations research. We introduce a data repository, DataVault, which is designed for data sharing, search and analysis. A comparative study of existing repositories is performed to analyze features that are critical to a data repository. We describe the architecture, workflow, and deployment of DataVault, and provide three use-case scenarios for different communities to facilitate the use and application of DataVault. Potential features are proposed and we outline the future development for these features.",

note = "We thank Kacper Kowalik for helpful discussions when designing DataVault. This research is part of the Blue Waters sustained-petascale computing project, which is supported by the National Science Foundation (awards OCI-0725070 and ACI-1238993) the State of Illinois, and as of December, 2019, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Blue Waters is a joint effort of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and its National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The eccentric NR simulations used in this article were generated with the open source, community software, the Einstein Toolkit on the Blue Waters supercomputer and XSEDE (TG-PHY160053). This work was partially supported by the NSF awards OAC-1550514 and OAC-2004879. We thank Ian Hinder and Barry Wardell for the SimulationTools [35] analysis package.",
