LARGE-SCALE STORAGE SIMULATION FRAMEWORK FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HPC) ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A method, computer system, and non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed that comprises instructions to perform the method including initializing a node local burst buffer ("BB") component, a computer-node component, a parallel file system component, a remote-shared burst buffer component, a node-local BB network configuration, and a remote-shared burst buffer network configuration, determining a rate of data flowing condition to alter between states to control a rate of data flowing through a computer network system; determining a data to move condition to allow data to move from the computer node to the burst buffer or the burst buffer to the parallel file system; determining a simulation condition for a simulation to begin, reset, pause, or terminate; performing a simulation flow using networked compute nodes in a networked simulation; and generating a computer output based on the simulation flow for network analysis.
