Hello! The PVFS2 development team is pleased to announce pvfs2 1.4.0. We've slipped a bit on our bi-monthly schedule, but we've put the extra time to good use.
Notable changes in this release: - A new optimization we call SIO (small io): small I/O requests will be piggybacked along with the initial communication between server and client. It's like MPI eager mode, but for I/O. - A new atribute cache, built upon a generic caching infrastructure. There are now a lot more tuning knobs for cache behavior. - Many bug fixes, especially for zero-fill and truncate A more complete summary can be found in the ChangeLog. This release changes the network protocol: when upgrading, you'll have to ensure your clients and servers are syncronized. This release represents 119 changesets over 10 weeks.
