Projects Progress

• Great face2face kick off meeting at Seagate, Derry, NI! The first year will focus on architecture and design of Sage2 components.
• We had kick off booth activity at SC’18 in Dallas, TX. We also gave a talk at the PRACE booth.
• We also gave a talk at the HiPEC event in Heraklion, Greece. 
• Sage2 presented at the Hierarchical storage BoF at SC’18

We had a great final SAGE review at Juelich Supercomputing Centre. Many thanks for the great feedback from the reviewers! We look forward to continue the work as Sage2

Final Deliverables:  pNFS on SAGE and Allinea Performance Tools ready for submission to the EU

Diamond/Seagate workshop at Seagate on Application Porting of the Diamond Light Source use case held

We had a great ISC’2018, where we shared the booth with Mont-Blanc Projects (http://montblanc-project.eu/project)   and DEEP Projects(http://www.deep-projects.eu/).

We also participated in the panel on two BoFs which were extremely well attended:

Multi-Level Memory and Storage for HPC and Data Analytics

SAGE/NEXTGenIO joint event was hosted in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Great/focussed audience and participation!

Link to all slides are available here:

SAGE  was also part of “Future of HPC Storage and I/O” panel discussion at the Cray User Group event @KTH in Stockholm, Sweden.

SAGE Early Experiences White Paper is now available

http://sagestorage.eu/sites/default/files/SAGE%20White%20Paper_%20Early%20Experiences%20FINAL.pdf

We are now starting to actively engage with external communities that want to try the prototype.

The white paper is open for scientific communities/organisations that want to try out the SAGE prototype for data storage.

• SAGE Prototype undergoing improvements for application porting including updations to Mero and Clovis.
• Two deliverables submitted this month:
  • D4.9: Validation Report: Message Passing and Global Address Space Programming, which covers the usage of the SAGE tiers as part of global addressing needed by PGAS.
  • D2.8: NVRAM Technologies: Final Report on System Software Impact and Low Level Programming Model Implications, which also covers the emulation of NVMs in memory.

Happy New Year!

Work on two key deliverables this month.

• D5.5: SAGE System Validation Report  and D5.6: SAGE Evaluation Platform Test Plan submitted. These cover the progress of the SAGE prototype installation in Juelich.
• D4.7: Analysis Framework Interface Specification submitted. This covers the progress of the Apache Flink interfacing work with the Clovis API.

Many thanks for DFKI for hosting the last SAGE Face2Face meeting for 2017.
