Modern high performance computing platforms employ burst buffers to overcome the I/O
bottleneck that limits the scale and efficiency of large-scale parallel computations. Currently …

Burst buffers (BBs) are increasingly exploited in contemporary supercomputers to bridge the
performance gap between compute and storage systems. The design of BBs, particularly the …

Burst-Buffers are high throughput, small size intermediate storage systems typically based
on SSDs or NVRAM that are designed to be used as a potential buffer between the …

Modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are adding extra layers to the memory
and storage hierarchy named deep memory and storage hierarchy (DMSH), to increase I/O …

Scientific discoveries are increasingly dependent upon the analysis of large volumes of data
from observations and simulations of complex phenomena. Scientists compose the complex …

Many scientific fields increasingly use high-performance computing (HPC) to process and
analyze massive amounts of experimental data while storage systems in today's HPC …

Hierarchical storage architectures are required to meet both, capacity and bandwidth
requirements for future high-end storage architectures. In this paper we present the results of …

Nonvolatile memory technologies (NVRAM) with larger capacity relative to DRAM and faster
persistence relative to block-based storage technologies are expected to play a crucial role …

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 …
