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.

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.
