2009 9th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid
Latency Hiding File I/O for Blue Gene Systems
Shanghai, China
May 18-May 21
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3622-4
This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel file I/O solution for Blue Gene systems. We propose a hierarchical I/O cache architecture based on open source software. Our solution is based on an asynchronous data staging strategy, which hides the latency of file system access from compute nodes. The performance results demonstrate the high scalability and significant performance improvements of our architecture over existing solutions.
