Here is a description of the lecture
The storage group at Los Alamos National Lab is responsible for
designing, deploying, and debugging the storage systems attached to
our supercomputers. In this talk, we present some of the storage
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
multi-dimensional file systems.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you
