And Performance

Data are important and ever growing in data-intensive scientific environments. Such research data growth requires data storage systems that play pivotal roles in data management and analysis for scientific discoveries. Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID), a well-known storage technology combining multiple disks into a single large logical volume, has been widely used for the purpose of data redundancy and performance improvement. However, this requires RAID-capable hardware or software to build up a RAID-enabled disk array. In addition, it is difficult to scale up the RAID-based storage. In order to mitigate such a problem, many distributed file systems have been developed and are being actively used in various environments, especially in data-intensive computing facilities, where a tremendous amount of data have to be handled. In this study, we investigated and benchmarked various distributed file systems, such as Ceph, GlusterFS, Lustre and EOS for data-intensive environments. In our experiment, we configured the distributed file systems under a Reliable Array of Independent Nodes (RAIN) structure and a Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) environment. Our results identify the characteristics of each file system that affect the read and write performance depending on the features of data, which have to be considered in data-intensive computing environments.

Volatile Memory

Non-volatile memory and remote direct memory access (RDMA) provide extremely high performance in storage and network hardware. However, existing distributed file systems strictly isolate file system and network layers, and the heavy layered software designs leave high-speed hardware under-exploited. In this article, we propose an RDMA-enabled distributed persistent memory file system, Octopus + , to redesign file system internal mechanisms by closely coupling non-volatile memory and RDMA features. For data operations, Octopus + directly accesses a shared persistent memory pool to reduce memory copying overhead, and actively fetches and pushes data all in clients to rebalance the load between the server and network. For metadata operations, Octopus + introduces self-identified remote procedure calls for immediate notification between file systems and networking, and an efficient distributed transaction mechanism for consistency. Octopus + is enabled with replication feature to provide better availability. Evaluations on Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules show that Octopus + achieves nearly the raw bandwidth for large I/Os and orders of magnitude better performance than existing distributed file systems.
