DOWNLOAD PRESENTATIONWATCH VIDEOThe community around the open source Lustre* file system is steadily moving forward. Today seven of the top ten fastest machines in the world have a Lustre file system and a new release of Lustre software is produced every six months. Central to this effort is OpenSFS who over the last three years have supported the ongoing Lustre community releases and feature developement through funding efforts. Intel's High Performance Data Division has a number of on-going feature development projects with OpenSFS to enhance and extend the Lustre file system. This presentation provides a context and motivation to some completed projects such as multi-core support, multiple metadata servers and FSCK along with performance measurements and use cases. A number of new development projects are currently underway; replication, data on metadata server. These projects will be discussed along with use cases.
