Supported Software
MASS can be evaluated and operated with external software that needs a shared high-performance filesystem. This section documents the software we currently describe in detail and how each one is used with MASS.
| Software | Category | Use with MASS |
|---|---|---|
| IOR | Microbenchmark | Quick client-side throughput and streaming I/O validation |
| IO500 | Microbenchmark | Repeatable filesystem evaluation across bandwidth and metadata workloads |
| Mooncake | AI Framework | A cutting-edge LLM serving system that supports KV cache pooling and prefill–decode disaggregation, with DAOS serving as the shared storage layer. |
