- Archive and NFS filesystem data to support and enable computer science research [link]

In order to enable open computer science research access to archive file data and usage is desperately needed. Today Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) publicly released a metadata walk of some of our archive and NFS filesystems. These data are provided by LANL under universal release to any computer science researcher to use to enable computer science work.

- Fsstats (Filesystem Statistics) data to support and enable computer science research [link]

To enable computer science research Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is releasing static file tree data (fsstats) for some of our parallel filesystems. These data include aggregate information on capacity, file and directory sizes, filename lengths, link counts, etc. The fsstats cover 9 anonymous parallel filesystems ranging from 16 TB to 439 TB total capacity used and file counts range from 2,024,729 to 43,605,555. The following sets of data are provided by Los Alamos National Laboratory under universal release to any computer science researcher to use to enable computer science work.

- Operational Data to Support and Enable Computer Science Research [link]

In order to enable open computer science research access to computer operational data is desparately needed. Data in the areas of failure, availability, usage, environment, performance, and workload characterization are some of the most desparately needed by computer science researchers. The following sets of data are provided under universal release to any computer science researcher to use to enable computer science work.

Trace Data to Support and Enable Computer Science Research [link]

In order to enable open computer science research access to trace data is desparately needed. The following sets of data are provided under universal release to any computer science researcher to use to enable computer science work.

- High End Computing Interagency Working Group sponsored File Systems and I/O (FSIO) research [link]

HEC IWG was formed by the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development. The HEC FSIO is a group of File Systems and I/O people from the agencies that help guide the HECIWG on file systems and I/O R&D investments

- Workstation File System Statistics to Support and Enable Computer Science Research [link]

This data represents file system statistics gathered from backup information for 3000 plus LANL workstations. The following set of data are provided under universal release to any computer science researcher to use to enable computer science work.
