Video: Lustre + Linux – Putting the House in Order
April 26, 2015 by
In this video from LUG 2015 in Denver, James Simmons from ORNL presents: Lustre + Linux – Putting the House in Order. “In the last year great strides have been made to sync up the lustre Intel branch to what is upstream. We present what that current state is as well as what is left for the intel branch to bring this to completion.”
Jeff Layton on How 3D Flash is Changing the Market
April 26, 2015 by
“For a period of time, it didn’t look like flash drives were going to decrease in price very much. Flash cell technology is limited to around 20nm because of cost and complexity considerations, but manufacturers have found ways around the limitation. Rather than decrease the features size, they now store more bits per cell (TLC) and have started to create 3D flash chips. This combination, plus the growth in flash storage sales, has driven down the price per gigabyte.”
Video: Monitoring a Heterogeneous Lustre Environment with Splunk
April 25, 2015 by
“Monitoring a large Lustre site, running multiple generations of Lustre filesystems can be a challenge. Some equipment offer vendor specific monitoring interfaces while others, built on open source Lustre, have minimal monitoring capabilities. This talk will report on our operational experience using a homegrown python module to collect data from each filesystem. We will discuss in detail how the data is visualized centrally in Splunk and cross-referenced with users workload to analyze and troubleshoot our environment.”
SGI Powers Fionn Supercomputer at ICHEC in Ireland
April 25, 2015 by
In this video, Niall Wilson describes how ICHEC delivers top-quality technology services and support to universities and enterprises. “Based on the solution’s superior price performance, ICHEC deployed Fionn, a supercomputer built on SGI ICE X hardware running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. On implementing Fionn, ICHEC was funded by Intel to work on its new many-core technology as an official Intel Parallel Computing Center.”
