JTE - HPC File Systems: From Cluster To GridOctober 3-4, 2007, IRISA, Rennes
ACM SIGOPSFrance
HPC File Systems: From Cluster To Grid
Gather major actors in file systems and data management fields Get a ‘snapshot’ of the different works currently led
Academic / Industrial
Make a point of storing data at cluster and grid levelsIs storage research at cluster level over ? How should we approach/deal with storage at grid levels ?
Exchange ideas, suggestions / remarks
Look ahead !
Overview of the event
4 sessions: 11 talks + open discussions
File systems at cluster level (chair: Christine Morin) 2 talks
Data management/FS at grid level (1/2, chair: Pierre Sens) 4 talks
Data management/FS at grid level (2/2, chair: Yves Denneulin) 3 talks
Future directions for HPC File systems (chair: Adrien Lebre) 2 talks + open discussions
Otherwise: Restaurant “L’ouvrée”, 18 place des Lices (http://www.louvree.com/plan.asp)
Last talk will finish around 6:45 pmEnjoy the city center, Rennes is beautiful
Few informations …
At IRISA
All talks will be in the room (‘Michel Métivier’ room), 2 Coffee breaks just on the left (‘Valorisation’ room) WIFI access: guest-irisa (DHCP connection)
In Rennes
Dinner meeting point 8:45 pm in front of the Britany parliament
If it rains: take an umbrella, you are in Rennes, it will not last ;)

Open discussions : storage at cluster level (guidelines)
Who need/require HPC File Systems ? (Web server/ Multimedia / HPC : simulation,... / Bank )
Usual data-sets ? Size (GB, PB, larger ) ? Access : local/remote - distributed/parallel ?
State of current solutions for each domain (strength / weakness) Are there particular research investigations to realize?
Use of the current hierarchical structure of a FS ? Manage database and FS in a common or in a distinct way ? Historical model of HPC clusters : compute vs storage nodes ? ...

Open discussions: storage at grid level (guidelines)
Storage at Grid level (multi-sites, cluster of cluster):
A real demand for sharing data between several sites ? If Yes, in what cases ? What are the current solutions ? What are the current answers from Industrial ?
