Research at a glance

I/O is now the biggest challenge in modern supercomputers! 
Storage systems are called to efficiently support both compute- and data-intensive workloads.  As we move towards the exascale era, most of these storage systems face significant challenges in performance, scalability, complexity, and limited metadata services, creating an I/O bottleneck that leads to less scientific productivity.
