BeeGFS: the HPC Storage Solution Adopted at the Geneva Observatory
- Yves Revaz (EPFL)
Description
BeeGFS is a parallel cluster file system initially developed at the Fraunhofer-Institut für Techno-und Wirtschaftsmathematik. Owing to its scaling performances, gratuity, and ease-of-use it offers an interesting alternative to well established parallel file systems like Lustre or GPFS.
In this talk, after a short description of the BeeGFS file system, I will present in more details the technical solution recently adopted at the Geneva Observatory relying. This solution is planed to be used both as efficient HPC storage but also as long term storage.
