[Lustre-discuss] about the top500 list

[Jeff Denworth]

Hi Peter - 

DDN, being a active participant with many of the world's largest sites running Lustre, maintains a fairly rigorous record of the top10/50/100/500.  We're not quite done closing the loop on the most current list, but here's the metrics as we see them right now:
52/100 run Lustre
22/100 run GPFS
3/100 running PanFS
1/100 running CXFS
17/100 are still to be determined (unknown)

DDN is, of course, honored to be part of so many Lustre systems ( associated with ~50% of the world's top100 systems ) and announced just this week several up and coming systems that will place in upcoming lists.  I'll post more as we have more intelligence.

Best,

Jeff
