01/04/2022 - 31/03/2024
Motivation
- IO-SEA tackles the new IO challenges in the Exascale era
- Data Scalability: massive increase of the stored data and metadata
- System Scalability: Increase of the number of clients to storage systems
- CPU/GPU evolution: inversion of the memory/core ratio
- Data Placement: Manage data locality and movements
- Data Heterogeneity: different workloads, different resources
Technical Approach
- Design and develop a new I/O Software Exascale Architecture to tackle the increased pressure on storage systems at Exascale
- Leverage Object Stores
- Support Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM)
- Provision and schedule ephemeral of storage services on-demand
- Instrument I/O & analyse telemetry using AI techniques
- Co-design with I/O intensive applications and develop user-oriented application interfaces
Status
Software components (alpha versions)
- Workflow / data nodes and ephemeral service management
- Instrumentation and monitoring tools
- Hierarchical Storage Management API, HSM integration with object stores
- First application interfaces version
- First ephemeral services version
