FraunhoferFS (FhGFS) is the high-performance parallel file system from the Fraunhofer Competence Center for High Performance Computing. Its distributed metadata architecture has been designed to provide the scalability and flexibility that is required to run today's most demanding HPC applications.
FhGFS is provided free of charge. Commercial support is available directly from Fraunhofer or from our international partners.

August 24, 2010 - Next major release is getting closer: One year has passed since the last major release version of FhGFS (2009.08-r1) and the next major update is getting closer.
It's been a busy year for the team with many interesting new partners and many great new customers, sharing a lot of information about their typical workloads and performance results with us. This gave us the chance to further optimize those aspects of the file system that are really stressed in the field. So the next release will, for instance, come with many improvements for metadata performance during situtations of highly concurrent access. And for those interactive cluster users out there, which are using "ls" with colors or running "find" across their entire directory tree: We also included some optimizations to shorten response times in these cases.
Among the new features of the next release will also be a new distributed locking implementation and an online file system check.
May 25, 2010 - Update r9: New maintenance update released. Upgrading to r9 is highly recommended for all users with medium and large installations (>1M files, >50 Clients) due to significant latency reduction and improvements in metadata server memory management.
If you have any further questions or problems installing the software, please contact support.
