  Description     : parallel storage IO benchmark
   IOR is a parallel IO benchmark that can be used to test the performance
   of parallel storage systems using various interfaces and access
   patterns.
   .
   The IOR package also includes the mdtest benchmark which specifically
   tests the peak metadata rates of storage systems under different
   directory structures.
   .
   Both benchmarks use a common parallel I/O abstraction backend and rely on
   MPI for synchronization.

I have just packaged it, since I need it for a short-lived HPC project I
am working on as part of the storage team at the University of Geneva
(Switzerland).

However, given that I do not plan to continue to use it after this
project, I wonder if someone else would like to maintain it, probably as
part of the "Debian Science Distributed Computing packages" (Cc:ed)?

  <https://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/distributedcomputing>

I will provide the packaging sources once this bug get a number.

Thx, bye,
