We measure the performance and scalability of IBM’s General Parallel File System (GPFS) under a variety of conditions. The measurements are based on benchmark programs that allow us to vary block sizes, access pat-terns, etc., and to measure aggregate throughput rates. We use the data to give performance recommendations for application development and as a guide to the improve-ment of parallel file systems. 1
