challenges that become apparent at large scales when thousands of processes
simultaneously access a single terabyte-sized file. The talk will be
introduced with a general discussion of supercomputing workloads and systems at
the national labs and will include a more detailed description of the recent
work done in bringing up the half-petabyte storage system attached to our new
supercomputer, Roadrunner. We'll conclude with a discussion of current
research topics in this area as well as our recent research into
