Abstract

JUST is a versatile storage infrastructure operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The system provides high-performance and high-capacity storage resources for the supercomputer facility. Recently, additional storage and management services, addressing demands beyond the high-performance computing area, have been added. In support of its mission, JUST consists of multiple storage tiers with different performance and functional characteristics to cover the entire data lifecycle.

Highlights

  • The JUST (Jülich Storage) cluster is a large-scale storage infrastructure operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Forschungszentrum Jülich, 2021)

  • A share of the system is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Science (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung – BMBF) and the Ministry for Culture and Science of the State North RhineWestphalia (Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen – MKW) via the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS)

  • One JUST subsystem was funded by the "Interactive Computing E-Infrastructure for the Human Brain Project" project (Human Brain Project, 2021)

Summary

Introduction

The JUST (Jülich Storage) cluster is a large-scale storage infrastructure operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Forschungszentrum Jülich, 2021). Installed in its fth hardware and software generation, JUST has evolved from a dedicated storage cluster for JSC’s leadership-class system to the central storage provider for the modular supercomputing facility at JSC. As such, it provides a variety of data-storage and management related services and is to be seen as a research infrastructure on its own. One JUST subsystem was funded by the "Interactive Computing E-Infrastructure for the Human Brain Project" project (Human Brain Project, 2021)
