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…
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…
Modern supercomputers are establishing a new era in High-Performance Computing (HPC), providing unprecedented compute power that enables large-scale parallel applications to run at massive scale. However, contrary to long-lived assumptions about HPC workloads, where applications were compute-bound and write-dominated (such as scientific simulations), modern applications like Deep Learning training are Read more…
