Description |
|---|---|
AdhocFS |
A functional component of Hyper IO. It is a near-computing data cache system used to cope with burst I/O requests to improve application I/O performance. |
Hyper IO |
Huawei-developed high-performance I/O acceleration kit, which includes functional components such as Hyper IO, AdhocFS, and IO Forward. |
HDF5 |
Hierarchical Data Format Version 5 (HDF5) is a common cross-platform data storage format developed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). It is capable of storing diverse image and digital data types, transferring them seamlessly across different machines. In addition, it has a function library for processing this file format in a unified manner. |
IO Forward |
IO Forward (IOFWD) is a functional component of Hyper IO. It implements process-level I/O forwarding proxying, reducing the impact of resource consumption on compute nodes while improving I/O performance. |
IO Middleware |
IO Middleware is a functional component of Hyper I/O. It is presented as a dynamic library and can be used by applications to improve I/O performance. |
MPI-IO |
MPI-IO is a functional component of the MPI kit. As an I/O middleware that can be used by HPC applications, it provides applications with caching and data filtering to improve data access performance. Among the various implementations of the MPI-IO standard, ROMIO remains one of the most widely adopted. |
NetCDF |
Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) is a set of software libraries and machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data. It is supported and maintained by the Unidata Program Center at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). It is widely used in many fields such as atmospheric science, hydrology, oceanography, environmental simulation, geophysics, and more. |
PnetCDF |
Parallel netCDF (PnetCDF) is a parallel I/O library for accessing NetCDF files in classic formats. It is a collaborative work of Argonne National Laboratory and Northwestern University. |
