From hilljj at ornl.gov Wed Apr 2 15:29:42 2014 From: hilljj at ornl.gov (Hill, Jason J.) Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 11:29:42 -0400 Subject: [Twg] TWG Meeting @ LUG Message-ID: All, I sincerely apologize for not getting around to a conference call sooner. My intention was to have 1 or 2 before LUG, but a snafu on my end with dial in numbers has caused me to miss this deadline. We're meeting on Thursday next week in Miami from 2:50-3:50pm. I'm sure the location will be well marked and also discussed during the conference. I've put together a potential/tentative agenda for things to discuss during our 1 hour -- it will likely be kind of tight so we'll have to stay focused. I'm happy to have other folks put forth items to discuss also, please do let me know. If there are questions about the below items I'm happy to discuss those also. See you all next week in Miami! Tentative Agenda: 1. PAC updates A). SFS-DEV-001: Hill B). SFS-DEV-003: Simms 2. TWG moving forward -- what do you want this group to do in the next year? 3. Discussion on integration testing in feature development 4. Other Topics? - Have had a request to talk about API¹s for next gen fabrics, do we want to hear that? 5. Open Discussion Thanks, -- -Jason ---------------------------------- Jason J.

The OpenSFS Benchmarking Working Group (BWG) was created with the intent of defining an I/O benchmark suite to satisfy the requirements of the scalable parallel file system users and facilities. The first step toward this end was identified as characterization of I/O workloads, from small- to very large-scale parallel file systems, deployed at various high-performance and parallel computing (HPC) facilities and institutions. The characterization will then drive the design of the I/O benchmarks that emulate these workloads. As part of the characterization, the BWG released a survey at the Supercomputing Conference in 2012, to solicit participation and collect data on file systems and workloads in HPC centers. This paper, which summarizes the data collected and our analysis, is now available on the OpenSFS web site at http://lustre.opensfs.org/files/2014/04/BenchmarkingWorkingGroup-io-survey-v 5-sarp.docx_.pdf Additional information is also available on our Resources Page (http://lustre.opensfs.org/resources/).

OpenSFS commissioned Intersect360 Research to look into the state of Lustre development, adoption, and outlook. The report is segmented into three sections: Market Dynamics; The State of Lustre in 2014; and Intersect360 Research Analysis. It looks at market trends around file systems, exploring the past, present and future of Lustre in Big Data. The report is being presented at the Lustre User Group (LUG) meeting in Miami, FL, today, April 9, 2014, and is available online with free registration. http://www.opensfs.org/2014-i360/ (8 pages, PDF).
