Abstract

The High-Performance Storage System (HPSS) provides hierarchical storage management and services for the largest storage environments in the world. It was developed by laboratories and companies in the USA. At CERN, it has been in use since 1998 to store user and experiment data. HPSS evolves quickly and CERN participates in its development on Alpha processors.

This presentation will show the improvements that were done this year by porting the last HPSS versions to Compaq Tru64 Unix. An analysis of performance and quality achieved in heterogeneous environments will conclude the presentation.


 

About the speaker: Patrice Calegari, currently working as a fellow of CERN's IT Division, holds a Magistère (Master's Degree) in Computer Science from the "Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon" and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (parallel computing) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL). His interests include parallel computing, data management and software engineering.
