Understanding I/O behavior of Scientific Applications


EMSL Project ID
32591

Abstract

The future of High Performance File Systems are being written now. To better understand how those file systems are being used and what usage patterns to optimize for is important for file system developers to know.

We propose to run 8 applications on the cluster with I/O tracing attached to them to capture how each application is using the file systems available on Chinook.

This will give Scientific Code Developers better insite into how their applications are using the file systems and how File System Developers can better optimize their file systems to make Scientific Code run faster.
