## [Unreleased]
## [0.8.0] - 2020-09-15
## New
-
Both client library and daemon have been extended to support the ofi+verbs
protocol.
-
A new Python testing harness has been implemented to support integration
tests. The end goal is to increase the robustness of the code in the mid- to
long-term.
-
The RPC protocol and the usage of shared memory for intra-node communication
no longer need to be activated on compile time. New arguments
`-P|--rpc-protocol`
and
`--auto-sm`
have been added to the daemon to this
effect. This configuration options are propagated to clients when they
initialize and contact daemons.
-
Native support for the Omni-Path network protocol by choosing the
`ofi+psm2`
RPC protocol. Note that this requires
`libfabric`
's version to be greater
than
`1.8`
as well as
`psm2`
to be installed in the system. Clients must set
`FI_PSM2_DISCONNECT=1`
to be able to reconnect once the client is shut down
once.
*Known limitations:*
Client reconnect doesn't always work. Apparently, if
clients reconnect too fast the servers won't accept the connections. Also,
currently more than 16 clients per node are not supported.
-
A new execution mode called
`GekkoFWD`
that allows GekkoFS to run as
a user-level I/O forwarding infrastructure for applications. In this mode,
I/O operations from an application are intercepted and forwarded to a single
GekkoFS daemon that is chosen according to a pre-defined distribution. In the
daemons, the requests are scheduled using the AGIOS scheduling library before
they are dispatched to the shared backend parallel file system.
-
The
`fsync()`
system call is now fully supported.
## Improved
-
Argobots tasks in the daemon are now wrapped in a dedicated class,
effectively removing the dependency. This lays ground work for future
non-Argobots I/O implementations.
-
The
`readdir()`
implementation has been refactored and improved.
-
Improvements on how to the installation scripts manage dependencies.
## Fixed
-
The server sometimes crashed due to uncaught system errors in the storage
backend. This has now been fixed.
-
Fixed a bug that broke
`ls`
on some architectures.
-
Fixed a bug that leaked internal errors from the interception library to
client applications via
`errno`
propagation.
## [0.7.0] - 2020-02-05
## Added
-
Adedd support for
`eventfd()`
and
`eventfd2()`
system calls.
