Best Practices for Deploying Parallel File Systems

Primary Session Leader:
Rick Friedman  (Terascala)

Birds-of-a-Feather Session
Wednesday,  12:15PM - 01:15PM
Room D137-138
Abstract:
This session will focus on the challenges and rewards of implementing a parallel file system to improve cluster performance. As more clusters grow in size, increasingly users see that adding nodes does not result in any additional performance benefits. This is often caused by bottlenecks in the I/O system. Implementing a parallel file system involves a number of key decisions including which file system to use, whether to build your own platform or purchase a complete solution, how to configure your network, and planning for system deployment and management. We will discuss best practices and ask for audience participation to try to refine those best practices to help users understand how to leverage these kinds of technologies.
