MetaData Performance Project
This is a joint project that the Lustre team, the ORNL LCE, and Cray created in early spring of 2009. The project has the following primary goals:
- Understand current Lustre 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 branch metadata performance characteristics
- Ensure the Lustre 1.6 branch performs as well as previous Lustre branches with respect to metadata
- Double the current average performance of Lustre 1.8 branch metadata performance
- Though introduction of clustered metadata early exposure in Lustre 2.0 until the general release of CMD, ensure that Lustre metadata scales and performs as well as, or better than, GPFS
The project leader is Nirant Puntambekar.
You can track the progress of this project in two ways:
- The project tracking bug on Bugzilla is 18776
- The project dashboard Nirant updates bi-weekly is available HERE (link to be completed)
Also, baseline metadata performance tests being done by the Lustre team are soon to be published on this page.
