Current production HPC IO stack design is unlikely to offer sufficient features and performance to adequately serve extreme scale science platform requirements as well as Big Data problems. A joint effort between the US Department of Energy's Office of Advanced Simulation and Computing and Advanced Scientific Computing Research commissioned a project to develop a design and prototype for an IO stack suitable for the extreme scale environment. It will be referred to as the Fast Forward Storage and IO (FFSIO) project. This is a joint effort led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, with the DOE Data Management Nexus leads Rob Ross and Gary Grider as coordinators and contract lead Mark Gary.
