Lustre User Group 2004

2004 Lustre User Group Meeting

Cluster File Systems, Inc. will host the second Lustre User Group Meeting in Maui, Hawaii on February 5th and 6th, 2004.

The Lustre User Group was founded by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to promote the use of the open source Lustre file system for HPC and scalable IO. We are working to develop a community knowledge base of best practices that make Lustre implementations successful and to provide direct feedback to the development team at Cluster File Systems, Inc. on current issues and future needs.

There will be presentations from users, from Cluster File Systems, Inc. and other vendors working on solutions based on Lustre and products designed to work with Lustre. The target attendees for this meeting are actively involved in Lustre.
