StorCloud Challenge
|
We are currently accepting submissions for SC|05 StorCloud Challenge and User
Applications. The deadline has been extended until April 30, 2005. Interested applicants are asked to provide an application
description and profile via
http://www.sc-submissions.org.
In the StorCloud Challenge, applications that demand fast
transfer rates and/or use multiple file systems in interesting
or comparative ways compete for prizes and bragging rights.
Congratulations the following winners of the 2004 StorCloud Challenge:
Best Random Access Use of StorCloud
The winner is Blockbuster, Lawrence Livermore National Labs
This category represents a class of applications that access the storage subsystem in a random fashion as opposed to purely sequential access pattern. Random access patterns generally stress a storage subsystem far more severely than sequential access patterns.
Best Use of StorCloud to Advance a Scientific Application
The winner is MPQC, Sandia National Labs
This category represents an application that gained significant benefit and/or growth from the use of the StorCloud storage system.
Most Innovative Use of StorCloud
The winner is PNNL Active Storage
This category is given to the group that demonstrates a novel use of the StorCloud storage system that goes well beyond simply transferring data between the application and the storage devices in StorCloud.
Highest Achieved StorCloud Bandwidth and I/Os per second
The winner is ENZO, San Diego Supercomputing Center
This award represents the highest bandwidth and I/O operations per second achieved between the application and the StorCloud storage subsystem used during the run.
