Development timeline

• Existing protocol documentation (real soon)
• Add web page for ACCRE IBP depot software and tools releases(real soon). It's probably more suited to binary distribution since their is no autotool support yet.
  • ACCRE IBP Depot
  • ibp_perf - IBP server benchmarking tool. Benchmarks:
    • allocation creates / sec
    • allocation removals / sec
    • Upload performance (MB/s)
    • Download performance (MB/s)
    • Mixed upload/download performance. upload/download ratio is a user controlled parameter (MB/s)
  • ibp_sperf - Benchmarks FIFO performance along a chain of depots. Provides one way transfer rate.

• Re-implement C IBP client (4/1/08 - it's a longtime but I have to work around ACCRE downtime in mid-march)
• 1st draft: Create minimal Linux/Mac StdIO/FUSE module using directory and data service API and protocol (6/1/08)
  • This will be a draft implementation which will probably be thrown out
  • How fast this gets done is really dependent on coming up with the minimal set needed for the directory+data services api and protocol. Also depends on Larry's time getting similar support into L-Store. Micah/Chris, what about LoDN supporting it also?
  • Minimal functionality: open, close, fread
• Create Asynchronous IBP client API - no protocol change, just add client side optimizations.
• Minimal StdIO/FUSE module which supports Async IBP for improved performance
