What are the benefits of using DAOS?

DAOS stores metadata in bytes in Intel® Optane™ persistent memory, eliminating the latency from I/O block locking. DAOS is helping push exascale HPC boundaries and driving some of the top configurations listed in the IO-500. Persistent memory also mitigates the performance impact of write pressure in DAOS with low-cost NAND storage.

What is the purpose of a DAO?

A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is an emerging form of legal structure that has no central governing body and whose members share a common goal to act in the best interest of the entity. Popularized through cryptocurrency enthusiasts and blockchain technology, DAOs are used to make decisions in a bottom-up management approach.
