PDSW 2014 - 9th Parallel Data Storage Workshop

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 and management 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. Addressing storage media ranging from tape, HDD, and SSD, to new media like NVRAM, the 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
support for high velocity or complex data
metadata intensive workloads
autonomics for HPC storage
virtualization for storage systems
archival storage advances
resource management innovations
incorporation of emerging storage technologies
