[Gluster-users] GlusterFS Volume for HPC workload

[Alex Chekholko]

Hi Deepak,

Ultimately, you're the only one who can know whether it works for your 
exact workload or not.  We recommend benchmarking your own workload.

That said, in general, if you avoid large numbers of small files, and 
your hardware and network are sized appropriately, you should get good 
throughput performance.

In HPC, a common problem is oversubscribing either the network or the 
storage system.  If you workload is I/O-heavy, you should spend probably 
50% of your cluster budget on I/O and interconnect.

Regards,
Alex
