Webinar Follow-up: The Hermes Buffer Organizer

The HDF Group hosted a webinar presented by the Hermes team on Friday, August 5, 2022. Hermes is a distributed I/O buffering system for deep distributed storage hierarchies, which are commonly found on modern HPC systems. This webinar will highlight an exciting new component of the library, the Buffer Organizer, which will be released in Hermes

Cloud Storage Options for HDF5

If you are looking to store HDF5 data in the cloud there are several different technologies that can be used and choosing between them can be somewhat confusing. In this post, I thought it would be helpful to cover some of the options with the hope of helping HDF users make the best decision for their deployment. Each project will have its own requirements and special considerations, so please take this as just a starting point.

HSDS Docker Images

The Highly Scalable Data Service (HSDS) runs as a set of containers in Docker (or pods in Kubernetes) and like all things Docker, each container instance is created based on a container image file. Unlike say, a library binary, the container image includes all the dependent libraries needed for the container to run. In this blog post, HSDS senior architect John Readey explains how to get HSDS running in a Docker container or Kubernetes pod, and gives some tips and tricks to ensure everything runs smoothly for you. 

Deep Dive: HSDS Container Types

HSDS (Highly Scalable Data Service) is described as a “containerized” service, but how are these containers organized to create the service?

Speed up cloud access using multiprocessing!

Accessing large data stores over the internet can be rather slow, but often you can speed things up using multiprocessing—i.e. running multiple processes that divvy up the work needed. Even if you run more processes than you have cores on your computer, since much of the time each process will be waiting on data, in many cases you’ll find things speed up nicely.
