27. Research, Development and Scientific Application of Gfarm File System

Masahiro Tanaka

3/12/10, 9:10 AM

Gfarm File System is a wide-area distributed file system that federates local disks of compute nodes in a Grid or computer clusters. It is a high performance distributed parallel file system designed for I/O intensive scientific data analysis conducted in collaboration with multiple distant organizations. Gfarm is under vigorous development for better performance and usability. A parallel...

55. Overview of the new technologies and evolution of storage systems for handling large volume of data

Giacinto Donvito (INFN)

3/12/10, 9:35 AM

A report on some new emerging technologies suitable for managing, with high edfficiency, huge amount of data will be given. In particular details about Lustre, Hadoop and Ceph, as examples of different approaches to tackle the problem of providing input/output data to scientific applications, will be presented.

31. Simulating storage system performance: a useful approach for SuperB ?

Dr Moreno Marzolla (Bologna University)

3/12/10, 10:05 AM

Capacity planning is a very useful tool to estimate future resource demand to carry on a given activity. Using well known modelling techniques it is possible to study the performance of a system before actually building it, and evaluate different design alternatives. However, capacity planning must be done properly in order to be effective. This presentation describes the benefits,...
