IO optimizations and data access
Technical specification/requirements
Every participant will have a private node to run the exercises. It is not possible nor needed to run the exercises on a personal laptop because results are not comparable.
The exercises will be provided on a dynamic web page with hints and solutions. The link will be published on Tuesday.
Exercise Overview
The tutorial will start with an introduction to tools used in Linux environments to measure and analyze IO performance. Based on few examples participants will be able to measure individual IO bottlenecks present in hard- and software. The second part will demonstrate optimizations in various parts of the local storage architecture like write-caching, read-ahead, compound reads etc. The third part will be an exercise illustrating the power and potential of Cloud storage where students will apply the technology of distributed hash tables to build a private cloud storage system.

If possible create an SSH tunnel from your laptop to your assigned exercise machine like
ssh -p 24 -L 8000:gks-017:80 gks115@gks-144 # => username@exercisemachine
Open the follwing address in your browser: http://localhost:8000/dm
If you are not able to do that, open this page to see the exercise to read the exercises online: http://gks-017/dm
Open atleast three shell windows
ssh -p 24 gks115@gks-144
