====== Advanced Storage Monitoring  ======

{{ :research:projects:asm:logo-final.png?200|}}
The Advanced Storage Monitoring (ASM) project is a [[https://www.eurolab4hpc.eu/|Eurolab4HPC]]  bilateral Academia-Industry Technology Transfer Project in HPC.

DDN offers a variety of enterprise storage products like the Infinite
Memory Engine (IME). IME is designed as a burst-buffer which is
optimized for random I/O. However, understanding the reasons that lead
to observed performance behavior is non-trivial.
Performance analysis of the I/O path in computer systems is a crucial
task as it paves the way for subsequent optimization not only of
applications but the storage stack itself. Particularly, the on-line analysis enables to detect miss-behaving situations and
offers means to mitigate them. From the user-perspective non-intrusive
monitoring, i.e., without code changes, is key for widespread
adoption.

===== Goals =====

The goal of the project is to enhance the monitor capabilities of FUSE clients' as follows:

  - incorporate relevant performance counters into the FUSE module
  - enable fine-grained online monitoring in the module supporting parallel applications
  - evaluate the extended module on relevant I/O benchmarks. 

Ultimately, this will lead to a prototype and proof-of-concept system with the extended monitoring capabilities that
exhibit substantial better analytic capabilities.
