Abstract

Data-intensive applications place stringent requirements on the performance of both back-end storage systems and front-end network interfaces. However, for ultra high-speed data transfer, for example, at 100 Gbps and higher, the effects of multiple bottlenecks along a full end-to-end path, have not been resolved efficiently. In this paper, we describe our implementation of an end-to-end data transfer software at such high-speeds. At the back-end, we construct a storage area network with the iSCSI protocols, and utilize efficient RDMA technology. At the front-end, we design network communication software to transfer data in parallel, and utilize NUMA techniques to maximize the performance of multiple network interfaces. We demonstrate that our sys-tem can deliver the full 100 Gbps end-to-end data trans-fer throughput. The software product is tested rigorously and demonstrated applicable to supporting various data-intensive applications that constantly move bulk data within and across data centers.
