High Performance Computing (HPC) and Lustre
Abstract
Sun manufactures, designs and implements High Performance Computing systems that scale up to the largest systems in the world using standardised technologies and open-source software. This talk shows Sun's approach and concentrates on one critical component - the parallel file system: Lustre. A parallel file system that scales must implement novel methods for coping with massive IO rates, vast numbers of clients and servers as well as handling the range of failures that occur regularly in very large hardware deployments. This talk overviews Sun's approach and looks at some of the methods implemented in the file system to cope with massive scale.
