Parallel file systems are a critical aspect of most Super Computing environments. One of the challenges facing parallel file systems is making sure the file system itself does not become a bottleneck. If not architected correctly, IO can overwhelm the storage architecture creating both metadata and other IO contention problems. In this Lightboard Video, Storage Switzerland’s George Crump and DDN’s Sven Oehme discuss how to overcome IO bottlenecks common in HPC parallel file systems. To learn more visit https://www.ddn.com/
