High Performance Storage System (High Performance Supercomputer System)
High Performance Storage Subsystem provides a scalable parallel storage system for highly parallel computers as well as traditional supercomputers and workstation clusters. HPSS requirements are driven by high performance computing environments, such as the National Information Infrastructure (NII), in which large amounts of data are generated by massively parallel processors (MPPs) and workstation clusters. Scalability is in several dimensions: data transfer rate, storage size, number of name space objects, size of objects, and geographical distribution. Although developed to scale for order of magnitude improvements, HPSS is a general purpose storage system.
refers to a High Performance Storage System.
High Performance Storage System, a new-generation, hierarchical, mass storage system software that was designed and built to provide scalability and performance. Anticipated use of the system will have it managing millions of files and petabytes of data. HPSS relies heavily on parallel I/O to attain impressive aggregate data rates.
