Lustre-on-Demand: Ephemeral Namespaces
Dynamic File
Systems
Temporary fast
Lustre filesystem
across the compute
nodes
LOD creates Lustre
on computes nodes
dynamically
Scheduler
Integration
User turn LOD
on/off per job at
job submission
Currently
integrated into
SLURM’s Burst
Buffer option, but
other job scheduler
also could work
Automated Data
Staging
User can define
file/directory list on
stage-in/out to LOD
at Job submission
LOD automatically
sync/migrate data
from persistent
Lustre to created
temporary Lustre
filesystem
Flexibility
Flexible MDT/OST
configuration for
advanced users

Persistent Client Cache
Lustre 2.13
 Reduce latency, improve small IOPS, reduce network traffic
 PCC integrates Lustre with persistent per-client local cache
devices
 Each client has own cache (SSD/NVMe/NVRAM) as a local
filesystem (e.g. ext4/ldiskfs)
 No global/visible namespace is provided by PCC, data is local to
client only
 Existing files pulled into PCC by HSM copytool per user directive,
job script, or policy
 New files created in PCC is also created on Lustre MDS
 Kernel uses local file if in cache or normal Lustre IO
 Further file read/write access “directly” to local data
 No data/IOPS/attributes leave client while file in PCC
 File migrated out of PCC via HSM upon remote access
 Separate functionality read vs. write file cache
 Could later integrate with DAX for NVRAM storage
whamcloud.com
Client Metadata Write Back Cache
Lustre 2.15 or Later
 Metadata WBC creates new files in RAM in new directory
 Avoid RPC round-trips for each open/create/close
 Lock directory exclusively, avoid other DLM locking
 Cache file data only in pagecache until flush
 Flush tree incrementally to MDT/OST in background batches
 Could prefetch directory contents for existing directory
 Can integrate with PCC to avoid initial MDS create
 Early WBC prototype in progress
 Discussions underway for how to productize it
 Early results show 10-20x improvement for some workloads
whamcloud.com
Client Container Image (CCI)
Lustre 2.15 or later
 Filesystem images were used ad hoc with Lustre in the past
 Read-only cache of many small files manually mounted on clients
 Root filesystem images for diskless clients
 Container Image is local ldiskfs image mounted on client
 Holds a whole directory tree stored as a single Lustre file
 CCI integrates container handling with Lustre
 Mountpoint is registered with Lustre for automatic mount
 Automatic local loopback mount of image at client upon access
 Image file read on demand from OST(s) and/or cached in PCC
 Low I/O overhead, few file extent lock(s), high IOPS per client
 Access, migrate, replicate image with large read/write to OST(s)
 MDS can mount and re-export image files for shared use
 CCI can hold archive of whole directory tree for HSM
 Unregister/delete image and all files therein with a few ops

  • 8. whamcloud.com Lustre-on-Demand: Ephemeral Namespaces Dynamic File Systems Temporary fast Lustre filesystem across the compute nodes LOD creates Lustre on computes nodes dynamically Scheduler Integration User turn LOD on/off per job at job submission Currently integrated into SLURM’s Burst Buffer option, but other job scheduler also could work Automated Data Staging User can define file/directory list on stage-in/out to LOD at Job submission LOD automatically sync/migrate data from persistent Lustre to created temporary Lustre filesystem Flexibility Flexible MDT/OST configuration for advanced users
  • 9. whamcloud.com Persistent Client Cache Lustre 2.13  Reduce latency, improve small IOPS, reduce network traffic  PCC integrates Lustre with persistent per-client local cache devices  Each client has own cache (SSD/NVMe/NVRAM) as a local filesystem (e.g. ext4/ldiskfs)  No global/visible namespace is provided by PCC, data is local to client only  Existing files pulled into PCC by HSM copytool per user directive, job script, or policy  New files created in PCC is also created on Lustre MDS  Kernel uses local file if in cache or normal Lustre IO  Further file read/write access “directly” to local data  No data/IOPS/attributes leave client while file in PCC  File migrated out of PCC via HSM upon remote access  Separate functionality read vs. write file cache  Could later integrate with DAX for NVRAM storage
  • 10. whamcloud.com Client Metadata Write Back Cache Lustre 2.15 or Later  Metadata WBC creates new files in RAM in new directory  Avoid RPC round-trips for each open/create/close  Lock directory exclusively, avoid other DLM locking  Cache file data only in pagecache until flush  Flush tree incrementally to MDT/OST in background batches  Could prefetch directory contents for existing directory  Can integrate with PCC to avoid initial MDS create  Early WBC prototype in progress  Discussions underway for how to productize it  Early results show 10-20x improvement for some workloads
  • 11. whamcloud.com Client Container Image (CCI) Lustre 2.15 or later  Filesystem images were used ad hoc with Lustre in the past  Read-only cache of many small files manually mounted on clients  Root filesystem images for diskless clients  Container Image is local ldiskfs image mounted on client  Holds a whole directory tree stored as a single Lustre file  CCI integrates container handling with Lustre  Mountpoint is registered with Lustre for automatic mount  Automatic local loopback mount of image at client upon access  Image file read on demand from OST(s) and/or cached in PCC  Low I/O overhead, few file extent lock(s), high IOPS per client  Access, migrate, replicate image with large read/write to OST(s)  MDS can mount and re-export image files for shared use  CCI can hold archive of whole directory tree for HSM  Unregister/delete image and all files therein with a few ops

Editor's Notes

  • #13: This slide introduces to customers the overall time line. As any roadmap strategy, it is subjected to change. The slide is divided into three main development lines: - Exascaler: as we know today. The DDN’s Enterprise Lustre File system distribution, as it is. Lustre core: Lustre file system, Open Source releases Next Gen: what we envision for the 2, 3 years time span There are different icons and color coding, that are there to identify different type of development paths and stages: Prototype and Ideation: first phase, no firm commitments. It envolves feasibiity study, small development (prototype as per say), tests and product discussions LTS Release: this applies to Lustre. LTS stands for LONG TERM SUPPORT and it’s a policy defined by the LWG. There’s only ONE Lustre LTS release at a time. Currently, the LTS release is based on Lustre 2.10 Supported releases: This applies for the other products such as Exascaler, where there’s one or more versions under support. Non LST community releases: This applies to Lustre, intermediate releases, usually delivered every 7 months. These are smaller releases that carries new features that will be incorporate on the next LTS releases. EOL’d: End of Line, no further development but continuing support for 5 years. The goal of this slide is re-enforce the convergence of technologies towards an unified platform. ES5.0 will be the last ES release as we know today. Further releases will be merged into the next gen pathfinding where the plans is to get IML and other technologies integrated. However, to avoid an abrupt change, the first step is the concurrent lrelease of ES5.x and IML with support for DDN hardware platform. It’s valid to remember that today, IML has few monitoring capabilities and none management capabilities for DDN Hardware. In the same time, IML is the standard choice for non-DDN platform. The idea is to converge the best of the two worlds into a single platform.
