Description
The present invention utilizes a dedicated communication module for system inter-connector using a low-cost, high-performance PCI Express network device to store data generated at a high speed in a high performance computing system (HPC) such as a supercomputer in a remote system storage To a system and method for providing remote file input / output at a high speed at a kernel level.
Current computing systems have become sophisticated and complex in order to provide various services to users.
To this end, the computing processor is developing in the form of multi / manifold in a single core, in addition to an increase in the number of clocks.
The performance of a computing system is constantly improving according to Moore's Law. On the other hand, the performance of a network in a large-scale high-performance system determines the performance of the entire system because the performance of the network connection between the systems does not follow the computing performance Has emerged as one of the important variables.
Currently, 1 / 10Gbps Ethernet is widely used in general networks, and it is evolving to 40 / 100Gbps Ethernet.
In high performance computing systems, interconnect technology using InfiniBand is widely applied.
PCI Express is commonly used as a system bus for connections between processors and I / O devices within a single computing node.
Today, PCI Express is capable of delivering up to 128 Gbps of performance in unidirectional (8 Gbps) performance on a single lane (x16) with 16 lanes.
Based on the characteristics of superior protocol efficiency, equivalent delay characteristics, low power consumption and low unit cost compared to other network interconnect technologies such as Ethernet and InfiniBand, such PCI Express provides a variety of interconnec- An attempt is being made.
However, the high speed dedicated network protocol used in the Infiniband technology is not provided, and the PCI Express communication based on the TCP / IP protocol for the general router based Ethernet communication has a disadvantage that it does not provide all the hardware supported performance.
Also, in case of remote file storage or input / output between systems in a network, a method of storing data in a remote file storage is used by transmitting data through an existing TCP / IP protocol and transmitting the data.
This may cause problems such as data loss because the protocol processing overhead and the data copying problem in the kernel do not provide sufficient performance for storing data generated at high speed.
