Appendix C. Developer Acknowled gments
HPSS is a product of a government-industry collaboration. The project approach is based on the premise
that no single company, government laboratory, or research organization has the ability to confront all of
the system-level issues that must be resolved for significant advancement in high-performance storage
system technology.
HPSS development was performed jointly by IBM Worldwide Government Industry, Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory,
NASA Langley Research Center, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories.
We would like to acknowledge Argonne National Laboratory, the National Center for Atmospheric
Research, and Pacific Northwest Laboratory for their help with initial requi rements reviews.
We also wish to acknowledge Cornell Information Technologies of Cornell University for providing
assistance with naming service and transaction management evaluations and for joint developments of
the Name Service.
In addition, we wish to acknowledge the many discussions, design ideas, implementation and operation
experiences we have shared with colleagues at the National Storage Laboratory, the IEEE Mass Storage
Systems and Technology Technical Committee, the IEEE Storage System Standards Working Group, and
the storage community at large.
We also wish to acknowledge the Cornell Theory Center and the Maui High Performance
Computer Center for providing a test bed for the initial HPSS release.
We also wish to acknowledge Gleicher Enterprises, LLC for the development of the HSI, HTAR
and Transfer Agent client applications.
Finally, we wish to acknowledge CEA-DAM (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique - Centre d’Etudes
de Bruyères-le-Châtel) for providing assistance with development of NFS V3 protocol support.
