MEASUREMENTS OVER DISTRIBUTED HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING AND STORAGE SYSTEMS

摘要

A STRAWMAN PROPOSAL IS GIVEN FOR A FRAMEWORK FOR PRESENTING A COMMON SET OF METRICS FOR SUPERCOMPUTERS, WORKSTATIONS, FILE SERVERS, MASS STORAGE SYSTEMS, AND THE NETWORKS THAT INTERCONNECT THEM. PRODUCTION CONTROL AND DATABASE SYSTEMS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. THOUGH OTHER APPLICATIONS AND THIRD PART SOFTWARE SYSTEMS ARE NOT ADDRESSED, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MEASURE THEM AS WELL.
