From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andrew C. Uselton Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:44:40 -0800 Subject: [Lustre-devel] Thoughts on benchmarking Message-ID: <47C336C8.4090108@lbl.gov> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: lustre-devel@lists.lustre.org Howdy all, I'd been in conversation with Cliff White over the last few weeks, and he'd expressed an interest in having me post a draft of a report I've been working on. If you've already heard of it here it is. For those who hadn't I'll try to describe it briefly. In December I assisted with some Lustre benchmark tests on the Franklin Cray XT here at NERSC. Since then I've tried to summarize our analysis and results. The attached pdf is a draft of that summary. The introduction is almost completely useless, so feel free to skip (unless you want to have a laugh at the author's expense). Section 3 has the main details about what we observed and what we thought about it. Section 2 may be amusing for those (like me) who care about methodology.
