OpenSFS is a technical organization focused on high-end open-source file system technologies. The goals of the organization are to provide a forum for collaboration among entities deploying file systems on leadingedge high performance computing (HPC) systems, to communicate future requirements to the Lustre file system developers, and to support a release of the Lustre file system designed to meet these goals. The group’s initial focus is the Lustre parallel file system, which supportsmany of the requirements of leadership class HPC simulation environments, has a diverse development community and is open-source software. OpenSFS will collaborate with two centers of excellence already established at ORNL and LLNL, and these centers will work with each other and with other collaborators of OpenSFS on day-to-day activities. OpenSFS will provide a collaborative environment in which requirements can be aggregated, distilled, and prioritized, and development activities can be coordinated and focused to meet the needs of the broader Lustre community. In addition to these activities, OpenSFS plans to hold an annual scalable file system workshop, as well as provide a variety of services (education and community outreach, testing, documentation and project management) to the community.
