Demonstrating Lustre over a 100Gbps Wide Area Network of 3,500km

SESSION: Analysis of I/O and Storage

EVENT TYPE: Papers

TIME: 10:30AM - 11:00AM

SESSION CHAIR: Robert B. Ross

AUTHOR(S):Robert Henschel, Stephen Simms, David Hancock, Scott Michael, Tom Johnson, Nathan Heald, Thomas William, Donald Berry, Matt Allen, Richard Knepper, Matthew Davy, Matthew Link, Craig Stewart

ROOM:355-EF

ABSTRACT:
As part of the SCinet Research Sandbox at the Supercomputing 2011 conference, Indiana University demonstrated use of the Lustre high performance parallel file system over a dedicated 100 Gbps wide area network (WAN) spanning more than 3,500 km (2,175 mi). This demonstration functioned as a proof of concept and provided an opportunity to study Lustre's performance over a 100 Gbps WAN. To characterize the performance of the network and file system, low level iperf network tests, file system tests with the IOR benchmark, and a suite of real-world applications reading and writing to the file system were run over a latency of 50.5 ms. In this article we describe the configuration and constraints of the demonstration and outline key findings.
