I/O profiling is not just about improving performance. It is also about understanding I/O patterns so you can make the right choices about your storage infrastructure. Whether you have an on-prem system, a cloud system or a hybrid cloud system, understanding application I/O patterns and resource use

The use of containers in high performance computing is growing, particularly Singularity. Developers need to work in reproducible environments that they design themselves and move from platform to platform. However, the faster the super computer, the more problems can arise if the contents are not performing as they
