PDSW 2013 - The 8th Parallel Data Storage Workshop (PDSW)

Peta- and exascale computing infrastructures make unprecedented demands on storage capacity, performance, concurrency, reliability, availability, and manageability. This one-day workshop focuses on the data storage problems and emerging solutions found in peta- and exascale scientific computing environments, with special attention to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial for 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, 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, archival storage advances, resource management innovations, storage systems for big data and analytics, and incorporation of emerging storage technologies.
This workshop is organized by John Bent from EMC, Garth Gibson from Carnegie Mellon University and Robert B. Ross from Argonne National Laboratory.
