I/O benchmarks with PVFS using Parastation over Myrinet achieve a throughput for write operations of up to 1 GB/s from a 32-processor compute partition, given a 32-processor PVFS I/O partition. These results outperform known benchmark results for PVFS on 1.28 Gbit Myrinet by more than a factor of 2, a fact that is mainly due to the superior communication features of ParaStation. Read performance from buffer cache reaches up to 2.2 GB/s, while reading from hard disk saturates at the cumulative hard disk performance. The I/O performance achieved with PVFS using ParaStation enables us to carry out extremely data-intensive eigenmode computations on ALiCE in the application field of lattice quantum chromodynamics. For the future, we plan to utilize the I/O system for storing and processing mass data in high energy physics data analysis on clusters.}, month = {Sep}, date = {2003-09-02}, organization = {Parallel Computing 2003, Dresden (Germany), 2 Sep 2003 - 5 Sep 2003}, ddc = {510}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)8 / PUB:(DE-HGF)7}, doi = {10.1016/S0927-5452(04)80071-6}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/860393}, }
