BigHPC project comes to an end

Three years ago, partners from the two sides of the ocean gathered with a problem in mind: HPC infrastructures have been increasingly sought to support Big Data applications, whose workloads significantly differ from those of traditional parallel computing tasks. Keeping an eye on the challenges ahead, like the increasing difficulty Read more…

BigHPC Project presented at the IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN)

From June 27-29, BigHPC’s partners were present at the IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), which took place in Porto, Portugal. Their participation aimed to present the most recent scientific publication, entitled “Diagnosing applications’ I/O behavior through system call observability”. This work was produced by Tânia Esteves Read more…

BigHPC paper presented at EuroSys 2023

In the beginning of May, some of BigHPC partners travelled to Rome, Italy, where they took part in this year edition of EuroSys conference, one of the most important events in the systems’ software research and development field. The researchers presented two posters. The first, entitled “Taming Metadata-intensive HPC Jobs Read more…

BigHPC paper presented at the CCGrid 2023

In the world of High-Performance Computing (HPC), modern I/O applications are creating a significant surge in metadata processing. However, with multiple applications concurrently submitting substantial volumes of metadata operations, the shared resources of parallel file systems often become saturated, resulting in performance degradation and I/O unfairness. In order to answer Read more…
