Abstract
The main objective of the ADMIRE project1 is the creation of an active I/O stack that dynamically adjusts computation and storage requirements through intelligent global coordination, the elasticity of computation and I/O, and the scheduling of storage resources along all levels of the storage hierarchy, while offering quality-of-service (QoS), energy efficiency, and resilience for accessing extremely large data sets in very heterogeneous computing and storage environments. We have developed a framework prototype that is able to dynamically adjust computation and storage requirements through intelligent global coordination, separated control, and data paths, the malleability of computation and I/O, the scheduling of storage resources along all levels of the storage hierarchy, and scalable monitoring techniques. The leading idea in ADMIRE is to co-design applications with ad-hoc storage systems that can be deployed with the application and adapt their computing and I/O behaviour on runtime, using malleability techniques, to increase the performance of applications and the throughput of the applications.
