IBM Demos Record-Breaking Parallel File System Performance


A research group at IBM has come up with a prototype parallel storage system that they claim is an order of magnitude faster than anything demonstrated before. Using a souped-up version of IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS) and a set of Violin Memory's solid-state storage arrays, the system was able to scan 10 billion files in 43 minutes. They say that's 37 times faster than the last time IBM topped out GPFS performance in 2007.
