I don't have much to add personally in terms of experience with parallel file systems, but for those interested, here are a few talks and papers with information on IBM's GPFS from recent SP Scicomp meetings: 1) Presentation about GPFS (and its roadmap) by Ray Paden at SP Scicomp 11 http://www.spscicomp.org/ScicomP11/Presentations/IBM/paden.pdf 2) Another presentation about GPFS at SP Scicomp 12 http://www.spscicomp.org/ScicomP12/Presentations/IBM/Gunda-GPFS-0706.pdf Also, regarding Ibrix's technology, there is a paper in the Journal of Scientific Computing titled "'Perfectly' Scalable Data I/O'". I can't link to it because it requires access to the Journal archives, but I imagine a number of people here have access through their lab/university. It is in volume 24 (2005), number 3, pages 373-404. Of the three authors, two are or were connected with Ibrix - one being the CTO and the other a professor at Yale who co-founded the company according to his webpage. I'd certainly welcome hearing more about peoples experiences with parallel file systems in general (though perhaps in a new thread?), as despite traditionally having low I/O requirements, I'm sure we'll be heading that way in the future as well.
