Lustre discuss - Nov 2011 - Join our BOF at SC 2011: Open source file systems – transitioning from Petascale to Exascale

Please join us to hear from leading experts on Open source file systems ?
transitioning from Petascale to Exascale

Tuesday: 12:15PM - 1:15PM

ROOM:TCC 301/302

ABSTRACT:
As the high-performance computing community makes the transition from Petascale
to Exascale systems parallel file systems will be required to provide
unprecedented levels of performance and capacity. The community developed
Exascale roadmap points towards an I/O system capable of supporting 60
Terabytes/sec of aggregate bandwidth and up to an Exabyte of capacity. Dramatic
increases in total concurrency, up to one billion in a future Exascale system,
will require revolutionary advances in parallel file system software to
effectively exploit the underlying I/O system capabilities while supporting this
level of concurrency. In this birds of a feather session Open Scalable File
Systems and the European Open File Systems Cooperative will organize a panel of
experts to discuss the challenges and potential solutions to Exascale I/O.

Our panel includes: 

Eric Barton ? Whamcloud (Lustre)
Paul Nowoczynski ? PSC (ZEST, SLASH2)
Rob Ross ? ANL (PVFS-2)
Sage Weil - DreamHost (Ceph)
