In a series of articles over the last two weeks, we have taken a close look at how the storage stack might be changing for next-generation high performance computing sites—not to mention similarly sized installations for very large-scale enterprise. …
The French Atomic Energy agency (CEA) is one of the leading centers for nuclear weapons and energy research in Europe, and as such, is one of the top sources in Europe to watch for extreme scale computing trends. …
Last week, in an article on the pending death of the parallel file system, a note was made about an effort out of Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) called MarFS, which will serve as the intermediary solution to allow very large centers to take advantage of cloud-style object storage using a more familiar POSIX approach. …
It seems pretty clear that storage systems will hit exascale a few years before compute infrastructure does, and there are two reasons for that. …
