This supercomputer is getting the world’s fastest storage

The world’s first 1.5 ExaFLOPS supercomputer is about to be paired with an equally trailblazing storage subsystem that offers about 700 Petabytes (PB) of storage, 75 TB/s of throughput, and 15 billion input/output operations per second of performance.  
 
The Frontier exascale supercomputer is being assembled by the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) and is set to go online in late 2021.
 
To keep pace with Frontier’s exascale computing prowess, OLCF has announced the Orion storage subsystem, which it claims is the world’s fastest.

“To the best of our knowledge, Orion will be the largest and fastest single file POSIX namespace file system in the world,” said Frontier’s Input/Output Working Group lead at OLCF, Sarp Oral.
