====== Bull I/O Cooperation ======

The research department of DKRZ is involved in a cooperation with Bull to improve I/O for climate applications on the Mistral supercomputer.
DKRZ is supported with two positions that collaborate in a co-design approach. 
One position focuses on improving compute and I/O on the application layer, the other on improving I/O starting on the middleware layer.
This page describes the role of the latter position.
See the general project description and organization here (TODO link).
