[gpfsug-discuss] SC16 Draft Agenda [Save the date: Sunday, November 13th]

Thu Oct 13 14:55:14 BST 2016

I'd be quite interested in hearing about that Brian.

I have to double check this with a couple folks here first but is there interest in hear about some of the stuff NASA has been up to with GPFS? I'd be tickled pink to share details on our GPFS activities:

- FPO/Hadoop efforts
- a site report (we're not *huge* but we're a modest Asize - 3600 nodes and almost 50PB at this point)
- demoing the monitoring dashboard we've created with influxdb and grafana.
- talk about the tools we've developed to deal with mass uid number changes on GPFS filesystems

Virginia Tech ARC purchased a SANDisk IF150 (IBM DeepFlash 150) this Summer and are just getting it into production (maybe next week).  I have some dev benchmarking numbers and may have production/user feedback by SC16.  I'm not sure I can fill an entire 30 minutes with worthwhile information, but I can give at least 15 minutes on:

DeepFlash: a computational scientist's first impressions

Hello all,

There have been some questions about the Spectrum Scale Users Group event for SC16 and we thought it best to publish our draft agenda and continue to fill it in as details get settled. That way you can make your travel plans and schedules.

The date and rough times are set, we may adjust the time range a bit depending upon the number of user talks that people would like to give. So note, yes! we are asking for user talks. Please consider doing this. We always receive positive feedback about talks given by users that describe real world experiences. If any of the user talk slots below are of interest to you, please let us know as soon as you can. We may turn at least one user talk into a panel if we can get enough participants.

As always, your feedback is welcome. This is a users group after all.

So, here’s what we have planned so far:

Date: Sunday November 13th
Venue: TBD, but near the convention center in downtown SLC
Time: ~12:30p - ~17:30p

Agenda:
12:30 - 12:50 Welcome / Overview
12:50 - 13:50 The latest in IBM Spectrum Scale and ESS
13:50 - 14:20 User Talk: Big Data in HPC
14:20 - 14:50 User Talk: Tiering to Object Storage
14:50 - 15:20      - break -
15:20 - 15:50 User Talk:  TBD … volunteers! please!
15:50 - 16:35 Spectrum Scale Enhancements for CORAL
16:35 - 17:20 News from IBM Research
17:20 - 17:30 Closing

Best,

Kristy & Bob
