"Parallel File System Survey Report",

"DICE Program (Data Intensive Computing Environment), in partnership
 with the Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratories, is
 conducting a project to develop a comprehensive benchmarking
 framework for evaluating file systems. This project also seeks to
 develop a normalization factor between different file system
 architectures. HPC community involvement is key to providing a viable
 tool and understanding all the factors for an accurate comparison,
 especially for file systems at large scale."

I. BACKGROUND & SURVEY OBJECTIVES

In support of this project, DICE surveyed 27 HPC data center
representatives concerning parallel file systems, benchmarks and
I/O measurement, and trace collection. The survey was a web-based
survey conducted in late Spring 2010. An invitation to participate
in the

survey was provided to:
- HPC Data Center Managers,
- HPC Administrators,
- Storage Administrators,
- Archive Administrators and
- HPC Technology Architects.
