Abstract:
High-performance computer systems continue to grow in size and complexity and must frequently handle many different jobs simultaneously. The I/O subsystem is often a bottleneck to overall system performance and interference among applications can lead to disproportionate performance degradation, unpredictable run times, and inefficient use of the resources. This talk presents our ongoing research in managing and guaranteeing, the performance of large, distributed storage systems. We will discuss our general model for performance management, survey our solutions for CPU, disk, network, and storage server cache, and discuss our research toward applying these solutions to the monitoring and management of distributed systems.

Short Bio:
Scott A. Brandt is Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Cruz and Director of the UCSC Systems Research Lab (SRL) and the UCSC/Los Alamos Institute for Scalable Scientific Data Management (ISSDM). His interests are broadly in the area of Computer Systems and his research ranges from real-time CPU scheduling to scalable, high-performance, distributed storage. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1999 and spent about a decade doing R&D in industry.
