[Lustre-discuss] Canceled: Benchmarking Working Group

[Vanderbilt, Richard]

We are cancelling tomorrow's Benchmark Working Group session.  We will resume next week June 8th.
Please excuse the last minute cancellation notice.

Richard Vanderbilt Co-Chair BWG
Sarp Oral Co-Chair





The OpenSFS Benchmarking Workgroup aims to provide an I/O benchmark suite to satisfy the benchmarking requirements of the scalable parallel file system users and facilities. Towards this end, as a first step, the workgroup aims to characterize the I/O workloads from small- to very large-scale scalable parallel file systems deployed at various high-performance computing and parallel computing facilities and institutions. Using these gathered characteristics, the workgroup will then collect and build the required I/O benchmarks to emulate these workloads and provide required documentation about the benchmark suite.

The workgroup meeting will reoccur every Friday at 8:30am Pacific time. 1 hour each. The dial-in is as follows: 1(866)844-9418 id# 4088226016.

Also note: we will be having our first face to face meeting on Sunday April 22nd from 2:00-5:00pm at the LUG.  Details to come.

On Tuesday April 24 4:10-5:00pm there will be a Benchmark panel discussion moderated by Sarp Oral. Panelist will be Jeremy Filizetti (DOD), Andrew Uselton (NERSC), Eric Barton (Whamcloud), Nathan Rutman (Xyratex), Stephane Thiell (CEA), and Stephen Simms (IU).
