We're building the solution for 
 EXASCALE STORAGE






Middleware

EIOW architects and implements an upper level I/O middleware system which can be integrated into various HPC software components.

Advanced Features

The middleware will increase usability and provide novel management and analysis features.

Open Development

Over 40 institutions participate in the development of the open source middleware. We welcome all contributions.

Engineering Exa-Scale Storage Middleware System

The EIOW intends to architect and ultimately implement an open source, upper level I/O middleware system suitable for exa-scale storage. It intends to be primarily motivated by the requirements of the applications, management and system architectures, and to a lesser extent by the constraints and traditions of the storage industry. The resulting middleware system is targeting adoption in the HPC community by creation of or integration into various HPC software components, such as libraries. We also target adoption by storage vendors to layer this on either existing or new products targeting scalable high performance storage.
