High End Computing University Research Activity: Progress in science and engineering to a large degree depends on access to computing resources and ability to utilize them. Modern high-end computing (HEC) systems, comprised of thousands to tens-of-thousands of processors, can address previously intractable applications. However, observation- and simulation-driven applications require high throughput input/output (I/O) capabilities, large data storage capacities, and tools for efficiently finding, processing, organizing and moving data. Data-management challenges include the need to access large volumes of data produced by different applications, in numerous locations, and in various formats. Although storage capacity and processing power are growing rapidly, data bandwidth and access times are not keeping pace. The performance gap between HEC processing power and storage device performance points to the needfor massively parallel I/O systems to maintain application throughput. The ability to efficiently map I/O operations between tens-of-thousands of distributed memories and hundreds-of-thousands of storage devices is a formidable problem that calls for research. The High-End Computing University Research Activity (HECURA) initiative invites research and education projects in I/O, file and storage systems design for efficient, high throughput data storage, retrieval and management in the HEC environment. National Science Foundation (NSF), Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), and other funding agencies are especially interested in hardware and software tools for design, simulation, benchmarking, performance measurement and tuning of file and storage systems. Supported areas include but are not limited to: a) File systems research, b) Quality of Service, c) Security, d) I/O middleware,e) Archives/Backups as extensions to file systems, f) Novel storage devices for the I/O stack, g) I/O architectures, h) Management, reliability and availability at scale, i) Future file systems related protocols, j) Hardware and software tools for design and simulation of I/O, file and storage systems, k) Efficient benchmarking, tracing, performance measurement and tuning tools of I/O, file and storage systems
