Burst buffers are becoming an indispensable hardware resource on large-scale
supercomputers to buffer the bursty I/O from scientific applications. However, there is a lack …

Data staging and in-situ/in-transit data processing are emerging as attractive approaches for
supporting extreme scale scientific workflows. These approaches improve end-to-end …

Near the dawn of the petascale era, IO libraries had reached a stability in their function and
data layout with only incremental changes being incorporated. The shift in technology …

The size and scope of cutting-edge scientific simulations are growing much faster than the
I/O and storage capabilities of their runtime environments. The growing gap gets …

We propose LightPC, a lightweight persistence-centric platform to make the system robust
against power loss. LightPC consists of hardware and software subsystems, each being …

Large-scale scientific applications typically write their data to parallel file systems with
organizations designed to achieve fast write speeds. Analysis tasks frequently read the data …
