Abstract: “The Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage (DAOS) is an open source scale-out storage system that is designed from the ground up to support Storage Class Memory (SCM) and NVMe storage in user space. Its advanced storage API enables the native support of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data models, overcoming the limitations of traditional POSIX based parallel filesystem. For HPC workloads, DAOS provides direct MPI-IO and HDF5 support as well as POSIX access for legacy applications. In this paper we present the architecture of the DAOS storage engine and its high-level application interfaces. We also describe initial performance results of DAOS for IO500 benchmarks.“
