On March 6, 2023, the Hermes team at the Scalable Computing Software (SCS) Lab and The HDF Group published Hermes v0.9.8-beta (opens in a new tab), a beta of the heterogeneous-aware, multi-tiered I/O buffering system first described at HPDC'18.

What is new​

The release notes list three changes:

  • Tags. Users can associate related blobs under a tag and locate them through it. Hermes can also use tags to inform data placement for logically grouped data.
  • Traits. Traits attached to a tag apply a set of operations to every blob in the group, for example compressing and encrypting it.
  • Portability. Client programs no longer have to follow MPI design patterns, and installation issues on recent operating system versions are fixed.
