Have some SPEC data is interesting in my opinion only if the workload maps to user application. Much of Lustre usage from what I have seen is defensive I/O and therefore is write intensive. How does that map is the question at hand.

Or is the intent to possible add sfs2013 itself to the list of benchmarks? [SF] My intention was to include Lustre as one of the workloads of sfs2013 as a special profile to the benchmark. Regardless, I was approved by sfs committee to add a Lustre specific profile to sfs2013. I hope with the help of the Lustre community to create a realistic and representative profile to be included in sfs2013 additional to other benchmarks that this group will decide to do. The advantage of such a benchmark will be that vendors can publish results officially to the SPEC.org reviewed by a peer audit group. Hope this makes sense Sorin Faibish Distinguished Engineer EMC - Office of CTO Thanks!

Please take a look and let me know if it is of interest to continue on this path of action for the Lustre benchmark. I will be attending the LUG and plan to introduce sfs2013 benchmark.

Where: 1(866)844-9418 id 4088226016 The OpenSFS Benchmarking Workgroup aims to provide an I/O benchmark suite to satisfy the benchmarking requirements of the scalable parallel file system users and facilities. Towards this end, as a first step, the workgroup aims to characterize the I/O workloads from small- to very large-scale scalable parallel file systems deployed at various high-performance computing and parallel computing facilities and institutions. Using these gathered characteristics, the workgroup will then collect and build the required I/O benchmarks to emulate these workloads and provide required documentation about the benchmark suite. The workgroup meeting will reoccur every Friday at 8:30am Pacific time. 1 hour each. The dial-in is as follows: 1(866)844-9418 id# 4088226016. Also note: we will be having our first face to face meeting on Sunday April 22nd from 2:00-5:00pm at the LUG. Details to come. On Tuesday April 24 4:10-5:00pm there will be a Benchmark panel discussion moderated by Sarp Oral. Panelist will be Jeremy Filizetti (DOD), Andrew Uselton (NERSC), Eric Barton (Whamcloud), Nathan Rutman (Xyratex), Stephane Thiell (CEA), and Stephen Simms (IU).
