Hello IO500 friends,
We are at a critical junction for IO500. Hopefully most of you joined this list because
you agree with the motivation behind IO500 and only a few of you joined to laugh at its
painful demise.
To the former, the committee wants to remind you all that we will unveil the second list
at ISC18. As of now, we do have a few submissions but we fear they may be too few to be
sufficiently impressive to ensure our continued relevance. We are clearly still too new
to have achieved critical mass.
We remain committed to the community's need for an IO500. Reporting only hero numbers
as was the pre-IO500 status quo hurts us all. Collecting a large historical data set of
IO performance benefits us all.
Please help ensure the success of our effort by submitting results yourselves and by
encouraging and soliciting others to do so. The community stands ready to provide
assistance as is necessary although please remember that the benchmark is very easy to
run.
Thanks!
John (on behalf of the committee)
