Abstract
Burst buffer systems are an important component for modern high-performance computing systems as the count of scientific applications and simulations with highI/O demands grows rapidly. Burst Buffers close the performance gap between I/O intensive computations and the parallel file system. We tested the two node-local burst buffer file systems BeeOND and GekkoFS. We compared them by qualitative and quantitative aspects, showing an average performance advantage of 10 % in I/O data rates for GekkoFS. Most noticeable are the results for the NPB BT-IO benchmark in the simple-io which prevents collective buffering. In these tests GekkoFS outperformed BeeOND up to one order of magnitude.
