6th Parallel Data Storage Workshopheld in conjunction with
|
workshop abstract
Computational scientists are no longer satisfied with petascale infrastructures. Their demands for finer and finer spatial and temporal resolutions are driving parallel storage systems to larger and larger scales of parallelism and concurrency. This scale creates new problems and exacerbates old ones in areas such as storage capacity, performance, concurrency, data retrieval, reliability, availability, and manageability. Additionally, new technologies such as cloud storage are encouraging scientists to preserve more old data and to expand their analyses to include data from a wider range of previous computations. Paying special attention to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial such as problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community buy-in, and shared tools, this one-day workshop seeks contributions in the form of papers and posters on relevant topics, including but not limited to:
- performance and benchmarking results and tools,
- failure tolerance,
- APIs and protocols for high performance features,
- parallel file systems,
- high bandwidth storage architectures,
- wide area file systems,
- metadata intensive workloads,
- information extraction,
- autonomics for HPC storage,
- checkpoint/restart,
- virtualization for storage systems,
- archival storage advances, and
- resource management innovations.
