Upcoming PDSI Events
November 15, 2009 - Fourth PDSI '09 Workshop (held in conjunction with SC '09)
NOTE: One day workshop only fee - $150
Petascale computing infrastructures make petascale demands on information storage capacity, performance, concurrency, reliability, availability, and manageability. This one-day workshop focuses on the data storage problems and emerging solutions found in petascale scientific computing environments, with special attention to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial, problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community buy-in, and shared tools. This workshop seeks contributions on relevant topics, including but not limited to: performance and benchmarking results and tools, failure tolerance problems and solutions, APIs for high performance features, parallel file systems, high bandwidth storage architectures, wide area file systems, metadata intensive workloads, autonomics for HPC storage, virtualization for storage systems, data-intensive and
cloud storage,archival storage advances, resource management innovations, etc.
Recent PDSI Events
November 21, 2008 - Supercomputing '08 Panel: Exa and Yotta Scale Data - Are We Ready?
Soon after Teraflops, HPC facilities were handling Peta-Byte data. The challenges of Exa-byte and Yotta-byte data will be a significant, possibly dominate, limiter on productivity of HPC users.
This panel will address the question "Is the HPC community ready for Exa Byte data?" and will discuss challenges of Yotta-bytes.
November 17, 2008 - Third PDSI '08 Workshop (held in conjunction with SC '08) - Agenda now online

August 3-6, 2008 - HEC FSIO Workshop, hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory
HEC FSIO 2008 Presentations now available.
To collect a broader set of research needs in this area, government agencies, top universities in the I/O area, and commercial entities that fund file systems and I/O research were invited to help the HECIWG determine the most needed research topics within this area. The information gathered at this workshop will be used to facilitate better coordinated government funded research in this important area in the coming years. An advisory group will be formed to continue the file systems and I/O research coordination advisory effort for the coming years for the HECIWG.
