I/O Benchmark Using x345/GPFS/Linux Clients and x345/Linux/NSD File Servers

Overview A series of four benchmark tests were run at the IBM Benchmarking Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. The primary focus of these tests was to evaluate GPFS performance for HPC applications on Linux clusters. The clusters in this test were IBM eServer xSeries 345-based systems using IBM TotalStorage FAStT900 disk controllers and EXP700 disk drawers. The primary focus of these four tests was to evaluate General Parallel File System (GPFS) performance for HPC applications on Linux clusters. This paper summarizes and interprets the results of these benchmark tests.
