随着超级计算机计算能力的不断提高，这些机器的I/O子系统已经成为整体性能的主要瓶颈之一。为了解决这一问题，在下一代超级计算机中采用了突发缓冲存储架构。本文采用CODES/ROSS仿真框架，在IBM BlueGene/Q超级计算机上模拟突发缓冲存储架构，研究突发缓冲对I/O性能的潜在提升。这些结果为在未来基于蜻蜓网络的超级计算机上研究这种新的存储架构奠定了基础，包括存储和作业调度的资源管理。
As the computing power of supercomputers keeps increasing, the I/O subsystem of these machines has become one of the major bottlenecks of the overall performance. Towards solving this problem, the burst buffer storage architecture has been adopted in the next generation supercomputers. In this paper, we simulated the burst buffer storage architecture on an IBM BlueGene/Q supercomputer using the CODES/ROSS simulation framework to study the potential I/O performance improvement with burst buffers. These results are a stepping stone towards studying this new storage architecture on future dragon-fly network based supercomputers, including resource management covering both storage and job scheduling.
