Description
Ad hoc filesystems across node-local SSDs can help alleviate the I/O bottleneck imposed by an HDD-backed shared filesystem, aiding efficient compute resource utilization. In an attempt to reduce strain on the global storage and make better use of node local storage, GekkoFS is under examination for TU Dresden's HPC systems. I highlight our considerations for an ad hoc filesystem as well as issues deploying GekkoFS.
