8th edition of the Workshop

Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems

Register

Per3S is a french workshop centered on performances of storage system and all the issues related to storage at scale

The terminology used in Per3S for storage includes HPC systems as well as Cloud architectures, the common point between both being scalability. Presentations and talks focus in application, system or architecture. This 7th edition aims to gather during one day researchers from academia and industry, experimented or junior, storage users and customers with the sole purpose to exchange and foster the community.

Overview

Per3S 9th Edition

Per3S is a workshop aiming to bring together the scientific and technological storage community to discuss and address issues and challenges associated to performance and data operations at scale. These topics cover HPC storage as well as Cloud-oriented architectures, both sharing the need for extreme scale.

Per3S fully encourages young researchers to present their work by submitting an abstract. The abstract can relate to an original work, on-going work, with fresh problems/solutions, or one already submitted and/or accepted in an international conference in order to be the subject of discussions.

Modality of submissions

Communications and submissions may be made either in French or in English.

Important dates

  • Submission of abstracts from April 15 until April 30
  • Notifications are made to authors within 3 days of submission
  • Workshop on May 23th

50 Participants

Previous editions of Per3S have successfully fostered a community of researchers both from academia and industry working on storage technologies. The audience is around 50 persons.

3 sessions

The program is organized around 3 sessions: one dedicated to Cloud, Storage technologies and data management, the second sessions is focused on poster for interactive discussion, and the last and third session is centered on HPC storage technologies and Lustre in particular.

12 talks, 8 Posters

Each posters is coming with an additional Flash-Presentation. Get within a single day a comprehensive overview of the storage activities in France.

Lustre: status and path forward

Sebastien Buisson, Whamcloud

Lustre is the leading open-source and open-development file system for HPC. Around two thirds of the top 100 supercomputers use Lustre. It is a community developed technology with contributors from around the world. Lustre currently supports many HPC infrastructures beyond scientific research, such as financial services, energy, manufacturing, and life sciences and in recent years has been leveraged by cloud solutions to bring its performance benefits to a variety of new use cases (particularly relating to AI). This talk will reflect on the current state of the Lustre ecosystem and also will include the latest news relating to Lustre community releases (LTS releases and major releases), the roadmap, and details of features under development.

Ephemeral IO services

Philippe Couvée, EVIDEN

Ephemeral IO services, explored in the IO-SEA project, and being extended in the EUPEX project, help data intensive HPC workflows minimizing data movements, keeping active data close to compute nodes for their entire durations, and isolating IO intensive steps from other applications sharing the same file systems. They range from workflows-dedicated parallel file systems to Burst Buffers and more specific object storage services. They run on dedicated hardware resources. In this talk, we will introduce the main concepts, the intitial user interfaces and performance results, and discuss the challenges still to be addressed to make it a mainstream solution.

Exabyte for ExaScale and other storage systems

An overview of Juelich Supercomputing Centre Storage landscape

Salem el Sayed

In 2024, the Juelich Supercomputing Centre successfully deployed the sixth iteration of its central storage system, JUelich STorage (JUST)6, a 154 PiB disk storage system based on IBM's Storage Scale System 6000. This milestone was achieved after migrating over 32 PiB of data to the new infrastructure. The Centre is now expanding its storage capabilities with the deployment of the 300 PiB disk-based ExaSTORE and 29 PiB NVMe-based ExaFLASH systems, both designed to support the upcoming Exascale system JUPITER. This presentation will provide an overview of the Juelich storage landscape, highlighting the challenges and strategies for deploying, migrating, and maintaining complex storage infrastructures at scale.
