GPFS (General Parallel File System, brand name IBM Storage Scale and previously IBM Spectrum Scale)[1] is high-performance clustered file system software developed by IBM. It can be deployed in shared-disk or shared-nothing distributed parallel modes, or a combination of these. It is used by many of the world's largest commercial companies, as well as some of the supercomputers on the Top 500 List.[2]
For example, it is the filesystem of the Summit
[3]
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory which was the #1 fastest supercomputer in the world in the November 2019 Top 500 List.[4] Summit is a 200 Petaflops system composed of more than 9,000 POWER9 processors and 27,000 NVIDIA Volta GPUs. The storage filesystem is called Alpine.[5]
Like typical cluster filesystems, GPFS provides concurrent high-speed file access to applications executing on multiple nodes of clusters. It can be used with AIX clusters, Linux clusters,[6] on Microsoft Windows Server, or a heterogeneous cluster of AIX, Linux and Windows nodes running on x86, Power or IBM Z processor architectures.
