DAOS is a free and open-source software-defined storage platform designed for high-performance computing and data-intensive workloads. DAOS originated from Intel-led R&D in 2012. The DAOS Foundation was launched with support from the Linux Foundation in 2023.[1] The Argonne National Laboratory, operated by the University of Chicago, utilizes DAOS for storage in their Aurora supercomputer for climate simulation and radio astronomy.[2][3] Phase 2 of the SuperMUC-NG supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre features a 1-petabyte DAOS filesystem that achieves 750 GB/s transfer speeds.[4] Google Cloud's Parallelstore is based on DAOS.[5]
DAOS is a high-bandwidth, low-latency, lock-free object storage platform that is most efficient for accessing small, unstructured data.[3] Its baseline is a key-value-array store over which data models like POSIX namespaces and HDF5 datasets have been implemented.[6]
