The 3rd EOFS/NHR Workshop on Open Parallel File Systems took place on February 27-28, 2025, at JGU Mainz. Co-organized by Frank Baetke (EOFS), Sarah Neuwirth (NHR@SW), and Michael Kluge (NHR@TUD), the event focused on open-source file systems used in German-speaking regions.
Discussions covered both widely deployed systems such as BeeGFS, DAOS, and Lustre, as well as experimental solutions like GekkoFS. Beyond operational aspects in data centers, the workshop also addressed how parallel file systems, I/O architectures, and operating systems are integrated into German computer science education.
The event aimed to foster knowledge exchange, sharing both positive and negative experiences, and evaluating emerging trends in research and development within the community.
