What is OVIS?

OVIS is a collection of sub-projects that, in the aggregate provide capabilities for HPC data collection, transport, storage, analysis, visualization, and response. The OVIS project seeks to enable more effective use of High Performance Computational Clusters via greater understanding of applications' use of resources, including the effects of competition for shared resources; discovery of abnormal system conditions; and intelligent response to conditions of interest.

Major Components

• Lightweight Distributed Metric Service (LDMS) provides a low overhead monitoring, transport and storage capability.
• Baler provides a generic log file tagging, compression, and search capability.
• Scalable Object Store (SOS) provides a high performance storage and search capability.
