Overview
Evaluate NVM-e SSDs from multiple vendors (Intel, Samsung & HGST) to understand the impact on our systems when employed as a component (i.e., burst buffer) within an HPC multi-tiered storage environment.
- Develop specialized I/O benchmarks that can reveal true I/O characteristics Flash based SSDs.
- Carried out evaluations and deep analysis of the write capabilities of various NVM-e SSDs.
- Delviered results helping OLCF to determine its SSDs for node local NVRAM for the Summit Supercomputer.
Technology
