The main goal of CLARISSE project is to investigate a radical new approach of reforming the I/O software stack in order to simplify the development of storage I/O optimizations and facilitate the development of Exascale systems. CLARISSE project will propose novel abstractions and mechanisms for cross-layer monitoring and control of the software I/O stack. More exactly, CLARISSE will explore: the cross-layer dissemination of run-time information throughout the I/O software stack, the cross-layer dynamic shipping of I/O functionality for load balancing, the adaptive control of the I/O data path, and the cross-layer dynamic exploitation of the data locality.
