What is the Virtual Volume File System?

A frame work for accessing and processing multidimensional volumetric data.
A system to reduce the need for redundant data transfer and storage.

Example of 3D Data Organization

Simplified overview of a data structure, analagous to a Unix file system, as an initial model for multidimensional VVFS storage organization

Reduce Data Duplication

Data processing workflows using convential and VVFS methods.

Allow pipelined data flow

Each VVFS mount point proveds virtual files whose content is described by the respective VVFS control interfaces.

Issues and Future Work

Development is still ongoing and many improvements will be coming in the future.
