[Lustre-discuss] How to achieve 20GB/s file system throughput?

2010-07-23 Thread Henry_Xu
Hello, One of my customer want to set up HPC with thousands of compute nodes. The parallel file system should have 20GB/s throughput. I am not sure whether lustre can make it. How many IO nodes needed to achieve this target? My assumption is 100 or more IO nodes(rack servers) are needed.
