====== Products ======

The following products are developed or contributed to by the group:

  * [[products:io500|The IO500]] \\ This benchmark suite measures the performance of high-performance storage systems.
  * [[products:ior|IOR and MDTest]] \\ The benchmark suite for IOR and MDTest measure metadata and IO performance, we are contributing significantly to the development.
  * [[products:esdm|Earth System Data Middleware]] \\ This middleware provides a high-level of abstraction to scientific data and is able to distribute data across multiple storage systems in a complex storage landscape.
  * [[products:scil|Scientific Compression Library (SCIL)]] \\ This library decouples the definition of required accuracy from algorithms that compress data -- allowing to choose data intelligently.
  * [[products:md-workbench|MD-Workbench]] \\ This is an HPC metadata benchmark allowing to investigate concurrent activity and latency.
  * [[products:xpd-mpiio-driver|XPD-IO-Driver]] \\ This is an MPI agnostic driver for the Kove XPD.
  * [[products:sfs|Statistical-File-Scanner for Data Centers (SFS)]] \\ This tool allows to collect file statistics of data centers using methods from statistics. Therefore, by scanning only a fraction of data, it is possible to estimate the fraction/performance/compression ratio of tools.

The following products are not anymore supported:
  * [[products:past:piosim|HDTrace + PIOsimHD]] \\ This is a tracing library and simulator focused on HPC I/O but also covers MPI.
  * [[products:past:siox|SIOX]] \\ Is a flexible tracing/analysis library allowing to experiment and mutate I/O likewise.
