In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team talks to John Bent from the IO500 committee about why he and a team of I/O professionals created the IO500 benchmark suite. The second IO500 list was revealed at ISC 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany. “The current list includes results from BeeGFS, DataWarp, IME, Lustre, and Spectrum Scale. We hope that the next list has even more.”

In this video from ISC 2018, John Bent and Jay Lofstead describe how the IO500 benchmark measures storage performance in HPC environments. “The IO500 benchmark suite is designed to be easy to run and the community has multiple active support channels to help with any questions. The list is about much more than just the raw rank; all submissions help the community by collecting and publishing a wider corpus of data.”
Call for Submissions: IO500 List
May 21, 2018 by
The Virtual Institute for IO is now accepting submissions for the upcoming IO500 list, which will be revealed at ISC 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany. “The IO500 benchmark suite is designed to be easy to run and the community has multiple active support channels to help with any questions. Please submit and we look forward to seeing many of you at ISC 2018! Please note that submissions of all size are welcome; the site has customizable sorting so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score for example. Additionally, the list is about much more than just the raw rank; all submissions help the community by collecting and publishing a wider corpus of data.”
