Abstract:
With ongoing increases in CPU performance and the availability of multiple cores per socket, many clusters can now generate I/O loads that are challenging to deliver. Traditional shared file systems, such as NFS and CIFS, were not originally designed to scale to the performance levels required. Building a high performance cluster without addressing the need for sustainable high I/O can lead to sub optimal results. This presentation explores how you can use the Lustre File System and Sun Open Storage to address this challenge with a proven reference architecture.
