      I/O forwarding is a well-established and widely-adopted technique in HPC to reduce contention in the access to storage servers and transparently improve I/O performance. Rather than having applications directly accessing ...
    • ECHOFS: a scheduler-guided temporary filesystem to leverage node-local NVMS 

      Miranda, Alberto; Nou Castell, Ramon; Cortés, Toni (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      The growth in data-intensive scientific applications poses strong demands on the HPC storage subsystem, as data needs to be copied from compute nodes to I/O nodes and vice versa for jobs to run. The emerging trend of adding ...

      Accés obert
      Storage devices have been getting more and more diverse during the last decade. The advent of SSDs made it painfully clear that rotating devices, such as HDDs or magnetic tapes, were lacking in regards to response time. ...
    • Improving OpenStack Swift interaction with the I/O stack to enable software defined storage 

      Nou Castell, Ramon; Miranda, Alberto; Siquier, Marc; Cortés, Toni (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This paper analyses how OpenStack Swift, a distributed object storage service for a globally used middleware, interacts with the I/O subsystem through the Operating System. This interaction, which seems organised and clean ...
    • Performance impacts with reliable parallel file systems at exascale level 

      Nou Castell, Ramon; Miranda, Alberto; Cortés, Toni (Springer, 2015)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      The introduction of Exascale storage into production systems will lead to an increase on the number of storage servers needed by parallel file systems. In this scenario, parallel file system designers should move from the ...
