abstract = {In this talk, we provide an introduction to the Maestro
project.This project was started in September 2018 involving
the following partners:Appentra, CEA, Cray, CSCS, ECMWF,
Forschungszentrum Juelich, Seagate.The goal is to develop
and demonstrate a new middleware that aims at addressingtwo
key shortcomings observed for today's supercomputing
solutions.First, available solutions typically lack data
awareness as they are optimisedfor filling processing
pipelines, not for managing data.Furthermore, available
solutions lack memory awareness, i.e. available middlewaredo
not have information about available memory (or storage)
hardware and thusare not able to make data transport
decisions.Maestro applies a co-design approach for designing
a solution addressing these challenges.The co-design
applications, in particular, include data-intensive
applications likethe weather prediction workflow from
ECMWF.In this case, simulations of the IFS model produce
huge amounts of data that are consumedby other applications,
which generate products for ECMWF's products member states
and customers.This matches well Maestro's concept of
providing a pool of data objects, wheredata producers give
objects to the pool and data consumers take objects from the
pool.Using suitable metadata, the Maestro middleware can
manage storing and transport of data objectstaking the
hardware architecture into account, on which the
applications are being executed.We will conclude this talk
with an outlook on the work of the Maestro project.},
