Explore the Grand Unified File Indexer (GUFI), a state-of-the-art file and storage system indexing tool that provides secure, user-specific access to file metadata while respecting POSIX permissions. Learn how GUFI enables lightning-fast searches across exabyte-scale data containing trillions of files in billions of directories, allowing users to find specific files based on complex criteria like size, age, path strings, extended attributes, and even text content within seconds. Discover GUFI's recent enhancements including vector table embedding capabilities that enable natural language queries, allowing users to ask questions like "I am interested in pretty green cars" and receive the most relevant files ranked by similarity. Understand how this powerful indexing solution can help organizations efficiently manage massive data holdings and extract valuable insights from their file systems while maintaining proper security boundaries. Presented by Gary Grider, Leader of the High Performance Computing Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, this conference talk demonstrates practical applications and implementation strategies for leveraging GUFI's extensive functionality in enterprise environments.
