**Contexte et atouts du poste**:
**Mission confiée**:
**Principales activités**:
In this context, the work of the post-doctoral researcher will be to continue the work of [1] by including more data sets in the classification, to confirm our preliminary findings and have a more complete view of the classes of temporal I/O behavior. Then, the goal will be to propose an approach of classification that is automatic, without human intervention. This approach should then be adapted for use at execution time.

**3. Profiling and simulation of I/O infrastructures**: Because the parameters that impact I/O performance are so numerous, and because I/O experiments are inherently slow, simulation could be a powerful tool for I/O improvement techniques at execution time. However, existing simulators are not very accurate at job-level I/O performance due to not covering these numerous parameters. At the same time, improving these simulators is too difficult due to having to model the impact of all these parameters.

The work related to this challenge consists in improving an existing tool for profiling I/O infrastructures, called IOPS [2], to efficiently explore the large parameter space that impacts I/O performance. The result of IOPS must be a model that, given to a simulator, is able to more accurately represent the system. A first idea on how to do that is with Bayesian optimization and surrogate models.
