"When deployed in a VMware environment, Fusion's ioTurbine software
dynamically provisions ioMemory capacity and I/O performance across
multiple virtual machines (VMs) by using Fusion's VSL OS Subsystem
to house and serve data for each VM. Tight integration of VSL's
host-based flash management and ioTurbine's cache management
eliminates otherwise redundant mapping functions, maximizing I/O
performance and adding a critical and previously missing piece
to virtualized IT environments - a plentiful supply of scalable,
low-latency I/O."
"Through this approach, Fusion-io unites the benefits of flash and
cache without the overhead costs created by integrating each
technology through traditional architectures using storage
protocols and embedded processors. This solution avoids the need
for expensive, performance-oriented networked storage systems,
SSD arrays and memory appliances that struggle to deliver
performance from the far end of a network, instead allowing
enterprises to use cost optimized shared storage systems."

"Available exclusively in bundles with ioTurbine software,

成功しました：
"Data are traveling by light"
Research News August 2011
Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT
"Regular LEDs can be turned into optical WLAN with only a few
additional components thanks to visible light communication
(in short, VLC). The lights are then not just lighting up, they
also transfer data. They send films in HD quality to your iPhone
or laptop, with no loss in quality, quickly and safely."
.....
"... since scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for
Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI in Berlin,
Germany, have developed a new transfer technology for video data
within the scope of the OMEGA project of the EU, its
implementation in real life is getting markedly closer. At the
end of May, the scientists were able to present the results of
the project in Rennes, France. They were able to transfer data
at a rate of 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) without any losses,
using LEDs in the ceiling that light up more than ten square
meters (90 square feet). The receiver can be placed anywhere
within this radius, which is currently the maximum range.

"... today announced the release of GlusterFS 3.3 beta 2 which
includes compatibility for Apache Hadoop. This latest enhancement
to GlusterFS uses the standard file system APIs available in Hadoop
to provide a new storage option for Hadoop deployments. With this
new feature, GlusterFS is the first open source, POSIX-compliant
file and object storage solution that works with Hadoop. Compatible
with existing MapReduce-based applications and with the ability
to co-exist with HDFS, this new functionality opens up data within
Hadoop deployments to any file- or object-based application,
providing a broad new range of options for big data deployments."

"The goal for this workshop will identify ways that we can abstract
architectures, in general, to meet the ever-changing complexities
inherent in exascale (and beyond). This workshop will be essential
in molding our path forward in hardware and software architectures
design space exploration, including simulation and emulation modeling
and their role in developing and implementing abstract machine models.
Moreover, we believe that such methodologies will prove insightful
in discovering what could and should be included or changed in next
and future generation hardware. Scholars from both DOE and non-DOE
communities will participate. Together we will identify machine
abstractions, their idealized primitives, and view of memory. It will
be informative to discuss and debate the realization of these
abstractions. Moreover, given an existing real system and/or subsystem,
how do we do explain its machine abstraction and would this abstraction
be sufficient to explain the performance attributes of exascale?"

was started. Four teams were funded to research and develop ExtremeScale
designs. Various computer vendors have claimed that they are investigating
the designs of exascale computers (IBM, HP and SGI). Several DOE labs are
also investigating exascale designs (LBL, Sandia). The purpose of
this workshop is to address the hardware and software architecture
challenges for developing exascale computers. It would be very informative
to revisit the exascale studies and explore what has been learned and
to discuss research gaps. To achieve this goal we will meet and discuss
the lessons learned from these various activities."
