MetaData Performance Project
This is a joint project that the Lustre team, 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 performance related to metadata performance
- 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
Other Lustre Centers of Excellence are located at: Naval Research Laboratory.
Additionally, there are several Lustre Development Centers that work with Sun to make significant code and testing contributions to Lustre and the Lustre Community. These centers are located at CEA, Juelich, LLNL, and Sandia.
