Technical Report: Report on Lustre use across an experimental 100Gb network spanning 2,175 mi

Abstract
Indiana University demonstrated use of the Lustre high performance parallel file system over an experimental 100 Gbps network made available as part of the SCinet Research Sandbox at the Supercomputing 2011 conference. The network distance was 2,175 miles which yielded a latency of 50.5 ms. This report outlines the findings from low level iperf network tests and file system tests with the IOR benchmark to a suite of real-world applications reading and writing to the file system.
