9512507 Messina The Concurrent Supercomputing Consortium (CSCC) which is led by the California Institute of Technology proposes to acquire a large-scale data storage facility with a parallel I/O architecture and integrate it with the consortium's existing computing resources. It will undertake a CSCC Archive and Parallel Resource Interface (CAPRI) project which will enable new, data-intensive applications to be carried out. The facility will provide the ability to store terabytes of data and to access the storage system with multiple parallel interfaces. It will serve as a key research instrument for the scalable I/O research initiative. The results of the research project will enable the scientists at the Consortium to achieve unprecedented performance on data-intensive computational problems. The project will greatly enhance the Consortium's computing environment by creating storage capability commensurate with the prodigious ability of the computational resources to generate data. The major components of the proposed system are (1) the high-performance storage system (HPSS) software package, (2) a 64 Gigabyte on-board disk cache, (3) 16 HIPPI nodes for supporting parallel network I/O, (4) 80 Gigabytes of RAID disk caches, (5) a 15 Terabyte archival storage system including four IBM 3490-C2A tape drives and robotic tape handling, and (6) a HIPPI switch. ***

小行星9512507 由加州理工学院领导的并行超级计算联盟（Concurrent Supercomputing Consortium，CSCC）提出了一个具有并行I/O架构的大规模数据存储设备，并将其与联盟现有的计算资源集成。它将开展一个中央通信理事会档案和并行资源接口项目，该项目将使新的数据密集型应用程序得以实施。该设施将提供存储TB级数据和使用多个并行接口访问存储系统的能力。它将作为可扩展I/O研究计划的关键研究工具。该研究项目的结果将使该联盟的科学家在数据密集型计算问题上实现前所未有的性能。该项目将通过建立与计算资源产生数据的巨大能力相称的储存能力，大大加强联合会的计算环境。 建议的系统的主要组成部分是（1）高性能存储系统（HPSS）软件包，（2）64兆字节的板载磁盘高速缓存，（3）16个HIPPI节点，用于支持并行网络I/O，（4）80兆字节的RAID磁盘高速缓存，（5）15兆字节的档案存储系统，包括4个IBM 3490-C2 A磁带驱动器和自动磁带处理，和（6）HIPPI开关。 ***
