On a Storage System Software Stack for Extreme Scale Data Centric Computing

摘要

This paper presents an overview of a storage system software stack designed specifically for extreme scale data centric computing. The storage system software stack is designed to work for next generation storage system architectures that will need to incorporate multiple data storage device technologies. We also envision such data centric storage systems to have in-storage compute capability to make it suitable for dealing with data analytics, and, pre/post processing steps in data centric workflows. The storage system software stack indeed needs to accommodate such capability.
