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 2018.
Xian-He Sun gave a plenary keynote, "High Performance Data Access: the DMSH approach", at the National Annual Conference on High Performance Computing (HPC China 2019) in Hohhot, China, on August 22, 2019. The talk followed the memory wall down to storage and presented Hermes, GRC's system for buffering data across a deep memory and storage hierarchy (DMSH).
The National Science Foundation has awarded a Framework Grant (OAC-1835764) to Xian-He Sun for the Hermes project, a heterogeneous-aware multi-tiered distributed I/O buffering system designed to address the growing performance gap between computing power and storage systems.
