<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">===========<br>
<br>
At the intersection of AI/ML and HPC, the analysis of I/O patterns is critical for both application and storage optimization. Therefore, we are building a repository of Darshan-based I/O traces to foster interaction among system and storage researchers, developers,
and application specialists from diverse scientific fields.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:DE">Analytics Hub: The website goes beyond storing traces and provides interactive graphs for comprehensive I/O analysis.<br>
<br>
Contextual Analysis: Our platform captures application I/O data and metadata, enabling comparisons of I/O traces across diverse HPC environments.<br>
<br>
Open Collaboration: Embracing the principles of open science, our framework simplifies trace submission and encourages cross-disciplinary interactions. Each trace gets its own DOI, so that traces can be individually referenced to recognize your efforts in
collecting traces.<br>
