- Philip Carns. “HPC Storage: Adapting to Change”. Keynote presentation at the 3rd Workshop on Re-envisioning Extreme-Scale I/O for Emerging Hybrid HPC Workloads (REX-IO), October 31, 2023. PDF
- Software updates:
- Mochi-abt-io 0.7.0 was released in February 2024. This package provides an Argobots-aware abstraction of of common POSIX I/O functions to enable efficient, highly-concurrent I/O in Mochi services. The 0.7.0 release features support for the high-performance liburing Linux I/O interface. Documentation on how to to use this feature is available on the Mochi readthedocs page.
- Mochi-flock 0.1.0 was released in April 2024. It is a new component meant to replace SSG for group membership in Mochi services. The initial release includes Bedrock integration and support for static groups.
- Mochi-margo 0.16.0 was released in April 2024. Margo is the core Mochi component that combines Mercury RPCs and Argobots lightweight threads into a coherent data service programming model. The 0.16.0 release features improve timer support with a particular emphasis on more robust handling of cancelled timers.
- Argobots 1.2 was released in March 2024. Argobots is the foundational user-level threading package used by Mochi. The 1.2 release features a large collection of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new elasticity features. Mochi has relied on a stable 1.2 release candidate as the preferred version of Argobots prior to this release; most users should not notice any changes.
