7!7!DDN | Application & IO Acceleration Software Defined Storage

1) MITIGATES POOR FILE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE caused by file locking, small I/O, and mal-aligned, fragmented I/O patterns.

IME “makes bad apps run well” and also prevents a poor-behaving app from impacting the entire supercomputer.

This is especially valuable to

diverse workload environments and ISV applications.

2) PROVIDES HIGHER PERFORMANCE I/O (bandwidth and latency) to the application.

3) IME DRIVES I/O MORE EFFICIENTLY TO THE FILE SYSTEM by re-aligning and coalescing data within the non-volatile storage.

1000x IO Acceleration

100x File System Acceleration

At SC14, we demonstrated 1000x speed-up on mal-formed I/O when using non-POSIX low-level communications.

At SC14, we demonstrated 100x speed-up due to this efficiency. IOR benchmarks show a 3x – 20x speedup on I/Os <32KB.

Providing additional bandwidth here is relatively inexpensive. Configuring 10x more bandwidth compared to PFS is typical.
