Introduction: When designing data storage solutions for High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, IT architects strive to balance complex and often conflicting requirements. The need to manage a skyrocketing amount of data, along with the goals of controlling cost and immediate data availability, can make it difficult to meet HPC application demands within the constraints of today's IT budgets. To help customers address an almost bewildering set of architectural challenges, Sun has developed the Sun Storage and Archive Solution for HPC, a reference architecture that can be easily customized to meet specific application goals and business requirements. This article is intended for IT managers and storage architects familiar with HPC applications and data requirements in the organization. It assumes that the audience has a technical background and some familiarity with issues surrounding the task of configuring systems and storage.
Introduction: Much of the focus of high performance computing (HPC) has centered on CPU performance. However, as computing requirements grow, HPC clusters are demanding higher rates of aggregate data throughput. Today's clusters feature larger numbers of nodes with increased compute speeds. The higher clock rates and operations per clock cycle create increased demand for local data on each node. In addition, InfiniBand and other high-speed, low-latency interconnects increase the data throughput available to each node. Traditional shared file systems such as NFS have not been able to scale to meet this growing demand for data throughput on HPC clusters. Scalable cluster file systems that can provide parallel data access to hundreds of nodes and petabytes of storage are needed to provide the high data throughput required by large HPC applications, including manufacturing, electronic design, and research. This paper describes an implementation of the Sun Lustre file system as a scalable storage

Introduction: Jesper Söderlund not only put together a few interesting scalability patterns , he also came up with a few interesting scalability lessons : Lesson #1 . Put Smarty compile and template caches on an active-active DRBD cluster with high load and your servers will DIE! Lesson #2 . Don't use out-of-the-box configurations. Lesson #3 . Single points of contention will eventually become a bottleneck. Lesson #4 . Plan in advance. Lesson #5 . Offload your databases as much as possible. Lesson #6 . File systems matter and can run out of space / inodes. For more details and explanations see the original post.

Introduction: Srinath Perera has put together a strong list of architecture patterns based on three meta patterns: distribution, caching, and asynchronous processing. He contends these three are the primal patterns and the following patterns are but different combinations: LB (Load Balancers) + Shared nothing Units . Units that do not share anything with each other fronted with a load balancer that routes incoming messages to a unit based on some criteria. LB + Stateless Nodes + Scalable Storage . Several stateless nodes talking to a scalable storage, and a load balancer distributes load among the nodes. Peer to Peer Architectures (Distributed Hash Table (DHT) and Content Addressable Networks (CAN)) . Algorithm for scaling up logarithmically. Distributed Queues . Queue implementation (FIFO delivery) implemented as a network service. Publish/Subscribe Paradigm . Network publish subscribe brokers that route messages to each other. Gossip and Nature-inspired Architectures . Each

Introduction: SmugMug's CEO & Chief Geek Don MacAskill smugly (hard to resist) gushes over finally finding, after a long and arduous quest, their "best bang-for-the-buck storage array." It's the Dell MD300 . His in-depth explanation of why he prefers the MD3000 should help anyone with their own painful storage deliberations. His key points are: The price is right; DAS via SAS, 15 spindles at 15K rpm each, 512MB of mirrored battery-backed write cache; You can disable read caching; You can disable read-ahead prefetching; The stripe sizes are configurable up to 512KB; The controller ignores host-based flush commands by default; They support an ‘Enhanced JBOD’ mode. His reasoning for the desirability each option is astute and he even gives you the configuration options for carrying out the configuration. This is not your average CEO. Don also speculates that a three tier system using flash (system RAM + flash storage + RAID disks) is a possible future direction. Unfortunately, flash
