anFS

anFS is a new filesystem that exploits activeosds
to execute workflows within the storage. anFS provides a single file system
atop a set of activeosds. The idea was published in the following papers:

• Hyogi Sim, Geoffroy Vallee, Youngjae Kim, Sudharshan S. Vazhkudai, Devesh
  Tiwari, and Ali R. Butt, “An Analysis Workflow-Aware Storage System for
  Multi-Core Active Flash Arrays,” IEEE Transactions on Parallel Distributed
  Systems (TPDS), vol. 30, no. 2, pp. 271–285, Feb. 2019.

  Ali R. Butt, and Lavanya Ramakrishnan, “AnalyzeThis: An Analysis Workflow-Aware
  Storage System,” in Proceedings of the International Conference for High
  Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC), New York, NY,
  USA, 2015

Compilation

anFS is based on the autotools and can be built using the following steps:

shell $ cd anfs
shell $ ./autogen.sh
shell $ ./configure --prefix=/install/path --with-libosd=/path/to/libosd/
shell $ make
