Title | Xeon Phi Supported Lustre Client |
|---|---|
| Type | Feature |
| Description | Xeon Phi uses an embeded Linux OS on the card. We would like to add support for the Phi to access the Lustre FS based on Phi addoption in HPC as well as the Enterprise Technical Computing potential. To do this we will either need to support the Lustre client on the Phi Linux OS, or on the host and allow client Phi's to access the FS through the host. |
| Purpose | Provides Lustre FS access to Xeon Phi co-processors. |
| Next Steps | Lustre 2.4 working on Phi with Ethernet (MPSS 2.1), IB support waiting on new OFED stack (WW39). TT-1346 will enable automatic Lustre build with RPM's, under review now. Performance is still not where we want through virtual ethernet Lack of official IB support (Currently released MPSS lacking support for IPoIB). We also need access to internal testing mpss builds, the source repo will allow us to do our own work. Define deployment architecture (client on each Phi, or host client that forwards to Phi units. |
