Title: High Performance Storage Systems (HPSS). CRADA final report for CRADA number Y-1293-0203

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:461242

This CRADA comprised a key component of the High Performance Storage System (HPSS) Project, a project directed toward creating a parallel data storage and access system capable of achieving data transfer rates in the 1 GB/sec range to both tape and disk. The HPSS has been under development through a group of CRADAs, involving IBM Government Systems together with Lockheed Martin Energy Systems (LMES), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Additional development support was provided by the NASA Langley Research Center and Cornell University. The key LMES component is the Storage System Management (SSM) package, the software package that controls all storage and access activities and provides readily understandable and complete system information to an operator. This information includes storage and access activity in progress; the location, size, and character of all files; and warning and error messages, among others. As such, SSM must be accurately coordinated with all of the HPSS development components and must represent a synthesis of all.
