If you have been tracking the activities of our team, you’re aware that we’ve been working in the area of distributed data services for some time, along with colleagues at Los Alamos, Carnegie Mellon, and the HDF Group. Under the name Mochi, we’ve been working towards a methodology and set of components for constructing these services in a way that is productive to develop, very flexible, and high performing on modern hardware.
I’m very excited that an overview of this activity was recently published in the Journal of Computer Science and Technology, and I hope the paper will help others understand both the scope of challenges and our contributions in this area.
