Three levels of fail-safe mode in MPI I/O NVRAM distributed cache
PublikacjaThe paper presents architecture and design of three versions for fail-safe data storage in a distributed cache using NVRAM in cluster nodes. In the first one, cache consistency is assured through additional buffering write requests. The second one is based on additional write log managers running on different nodes. The third one benefits from synchronization with a Parallel File System (PFS) for saving data into a new file which...

Distributed NVRAM Cache – Optimization and Evaluation with Power of Adjacency Matrix
PublikacjaIn this paper we build on our previously proposed MPI I/O NVRAM distributed cache for high performance computing. In each cluster node it incorporates NVRAMs which are used as an intermediate cache layer between an application and a file for fast read/write operations supported through wrappers of MPI I/O functions. In this paper we propose optimizations of the solution including handling of write requests with a synchronous mode,...

Using Redis supported by NVRAM in HPC applications
PublikacjaNowadays, the efficiency of storage systems is a bottleneck in many modern HPC clusters. High performance in the traditional approach – processing using files – is often difficult to obtain because of a model’s complexity and its read/write patterns. An alternative approach is to apply a key-value database, which usually has low latency and scales well. On the other hand, many key-value stores suffer from a limitation of memory...

Distributed graph searching with a sense of direction
PublikacjaIn this work we consider the edge searching problem for vertex-weighted graphs with arbitrarily fast and invisible fugitive. The weight function w provides for each vertex v the minimum number of searchers required to guard v, i.e., the fugitive may not pass through v without being detected only if at least w(v) searchers are present at v. This problem is a generalization of the classical edge searching problem, in which one has...
