The LQCD HPC clusters central storage system uses the Lustre filesystem.
Currently this filesystem is configured with 36 object storage targets (OSTes). Each OST provides over 66 TB of storage, which yields an aggregate storage capacity of about 2.3 PB. All of the storage servers run Lustre version 2.10.8.
This filesystem serves over 500 clients via low latency Infiniband or Omni Path . Aggregate bandwidth to the clients has been measured well over 25 GB/s. Monitoring of the filesystem has shown that the average I/O to the filesystem is in excess of 2 GB/s.
