“…This cannot be provided via block storage, as usually it does not allow for concurrent access. Concurrent access may be achieved via Object Storage, a well-established storage service that is capable of providing shared file spaces 27 . As the name suggests the service manages files as objects, thus being substantially different from POSIX storage systems.…”

The computational demands for scientific applications are continuously increasing. The emergence of cloud computing has enabled on-demand resource allocation. However, relying solely on infrastructure as a service does not achieve the degree of flexibility required by the scientific community. Here we present a microservice-oriented methodology, where scientific applications run in a distributed orchestration platform as software containers, referred to as on-demand, virtual research environments. The methodology is vendor agnostic and we provide an open source implementation that supports the major cloud providers, offering scalable management of scientific pipelines. We demonstrate applicability and scalability of our methodology in life science applications, but the methodology is general and can be applied to other scientific domains.

“…As such, it does not provide human friendly names and constructs, but instead has an ID-based name space. This object name space is an implementation of the Advanced Storage Group (ASG) interface [4], which was partially developed for Sirocco in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory. This section describes how clients use the name space, and storage within it.…”

Sirocco is a massively parallel, high performance storage system for the exascale era. It emphasizes client-to-client coordination, low server-side coupling, and free data movement to improve resilience and performance. Its architecture is inspired by peer-to-peer and victimcache architectures. By leveraging these ideas, Sirocco natively supports several media types, including RAM, flash, disk, and archival storage, with automatic migration between levels.
