IOLanes: ADVANCING THE SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF I/O SUBSYSTEMS IN MULTICORE PLATFORMS
IOLanes dramatically improves the I/O behavior of data-centric workloads on shared virtualized servers in the data-centre.
The IOLanes project (www.iolanes.eu) over the last three years, since its start date on 1-Jan-2010 has examined fundamental issues related to I/O for data-centers. I/O is today a main problem for modern applications and is considered one of the issues that research needs to address in next-generation IT infrastructures.
