الملخص:<table><tr><td>Modern scientific discovery, increasingly a fusion of simulation, analytics, and AI, faces a critical challenge: managing and efficiently accessing vast, heterogeneous datasets. As AI agents and LLMs become integral to research, the need for a data infrastructure that speaks their 'language' of context, not just bytes, is paramount. IOWarp is a next-generation data management platform designed to bridge this gap. Building on the multi-tiered I/O buffering foundation of Hermes, IOWarp provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution to optimize data flow for AI-augmented scientific workflows.<br>After a year of intensive development, we are excited to announce IOWarp is nearing its first public beta release (v1.0) in Summer 2025! Core functional components, including the Content Assimilation Engine (CAE) for unified data ingestion from diverse sources (HDF5, ADIOS, Parquet, etc.), foundational Content Transfer Engine (CTE) for intelligent multi-tiered data movement (RAM, NVMe, PFS, CXL), and an initial Storage Client Interface, are now operational.<br>A key focus of IOWarp is to serve as a robust backend for emerging AI interactions paradigms. Our Content Exploration Interface (CEI), featuring a Content Catalog and the developing WarpGPT (an LLM-powered interface), aims to provide AI agents with rich, contextualized data, abstracting storage complexities and enabling semantic querying. This positions IOWarp to significantly lower the barrier for AI to understand and utilize complex scientific data. IOWarp is now supporting Model Context Protocol (MCP) and implements many of them for science data management (HDF5, ADIOS, Slurm, etc).<br>This poster details IOWarp's architecture, our first-year progress, and our vision for empowering scientific AI. We enthusiastically invite the community to engage with our upcoming beta release, provide crucial early feedback, and explore how IOWarp can streamline data-intensive AI-powered scientific workflows and serve as a powerful, context-aware data source for the AI agents of today.</td></tr></table><p></p>
