# UnifyFS: A User-Level File System for Supercomputers

Node-local storage is becoming an indispensable hardware resource on

large-scale supercomputers to buffer the bursty I/O from scientific

applications. However, there is a lack of software support for node-local storage to

be used efficiently by applications that use shared files.

UnifyFS is an ephemeral, user-level file system under active development.

UnifyFS addresses a major usability factor of current and future systems because it enables

applications to gain performance advantages from distributed storage devices on the system while being as easy to use as a center-wide parallel file system.
