Re: Speed is all well and good but....
Oh yeah, I totally agree on the unreliability : It is so unreliable that ORNL chose it for the 2018 fastest computer in order to cope with their requirements, just because they can obviously afford to lose their 250PB of data, 30 billions files and 30 billions directories even if Spectrum Scale copes with their easy to reach requirements
- 2.5 TB/sec single stream IOR
- 1 TB/sec 1MB sequential read/write
- Single Node 16 GB/sec sequential read/write
- 50K creates/sec per shared directory
- 2.6 Million 32K file creates/sec
- 2 and 2,3PB file dumps ( the whole cluster memory)
