"500 Terabytes and Growing" this will be a live open invitation event. It will be held on July 26^th at 11AM EDT in *Axon* room on the NCSA server.

U can send Questions during the Q& A event at the end to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

Here is a description of the lecture

The storage group at Los Alamos National Lab is responsible for designing, deploying, and debugging the storage systems attached to our supercomputers. In this talk, we present some of the storage challenges that become apparent at large scales when thousands of processes simultaneously access a single terabyte-sized file. The talk will be introduced with a general discussion of supercomputing workloads and systems at the national labs and will include a more detailed description of the recent work done in bringing up the half-petabyte storage system attached to our new supercomputer, Roadrunner. We'll conclude with a discussion of current research topics in this area as well as our recent research into multi-dimensional file systems.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you

Jeffrey L. Miller
