Evaluating the Shared Root File System Approach for Diskless High-Performance Computing Systems
Diskless high-performance computing (HPC) systems utilizing networked storage have become popular in the last several years. Removing disk drives significantly increases compute node reliability as they are known to be a major source of failures. Furthermore, networked storage solutions utilizing parallel I/O and replication are able to provide increased scalability and availability. Reducing a...
متن کاملApplication Performance On Direct Access File System
The Direct Access File System (DAFS) is a distributed file system built on top of direct-access transports (DAT). Direct-access transports are characterized by using remote direct memory access (RDMA) for data transfer and user-level networking. The motivation behind the DAT-enabled distributed file system architecture is the reduction of the overhead on the I/O data path. The goal of this work...
متن کاملDiskless Checkpointing Diskless Checkpointing
The precursor to this work (where diskless checkpointing was rst described) was presented at FTCS-24 27]. Abstract Diskless Checkpointing is a technique for checkpointing the state of a long-running computation on a distributed system without relying on stable storage. As such, it eliminates the performance bottleneck of traditional checkpointing on distributed systems. In this paper, we motiva...
متن کاملFault-Tolerant Matrix Operations for Networks of Workstations Using Diskless Checkpointing
Networks of workstations (NOWs) offer a cost-effective platform for high-performance, long-running parallel computations. However, these computations must be able to tolerate the changing and often faulty nature of NOW environments. We present high-performance implementations of several fault-tolerant algorithms for distributed scientific computing. The fault-tolerance is based on diskless chec...
متن کاملStructure and Performance of the Direct Access File System
The Direct Access File System (DAFS) is an emerging industrial standard for network-attached storage. DAFS takes advantage of new user-level network interface standards. This enables a user-level le system structure in which client-side functionality for remote data access resides in a library rather than in the kernel. This structure addresses longstanding performance problems stemming from we...
