| Lustre File System Networking: High-Performance Features and Flexible Support for a Wide Array of Networks | Information about Lustre networking that can be used to plan cluster file system deployments for optimal performance and scalability. Covered topics include Lustre message passing, Lustre Network Drivers, and routing in Lustre networks, and the paper describes how these features can be used to improve cluster storage management. | November 2008 |
| Lustre File System: High-Performance Storage Architecture and Scalable Cluster File System | Basic information about the Lustre file system. Covered topics include general characteristics and markets in which Lustre has a strong presence, a typical Lustre file system configuration, an overview of Lustre networking (LNET), an introduction of Lustre capabilities that support high availability and rolling upgrades, discussion of file storage in a Lustre file system, additional features, and information about a how a Lustre file system compares to other shared file systems. | October 2008 |
| Pathways to Open Petascale Computing | Derived from Sun’s innovative design approach and experience with very large , supercomputing deployments, the Sun Constellation System provides the world's first , open petascale computing environment — one built entirely with open and standard , hardware and software technologies.
