style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>The storage group at Los Alamos National
Lab is responsible for designing, deploying, and debugging the storage systems
attached to our supercomputers. In this talk, we present some of the storage
challenges that become apparent at large scales when thousands of processes
simultaneously access a single terabyte-sized file. The talk will be
introduced with a general discussion of supercomputing workloads and systems at
the national labs and will include a more detailed description of the recent
work done in bringing up the half-petabyte storage system attached to our new
supercomputer, Roadrunner. We'll conclude with a discussion of current
research topics in this area as well as our recent research into
multi-dimensional file systems.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
