Biography
Patrice Lucas has worked since 2004 as an HPC storage software engineer/researcher at CEA. He contributes to the software development of open-source components, such as Robinhood (https://github.com/robinhood-suite/robinhood4) and Phobos (https://github.com/phobos-storage), of the CEA high-performance parallel storage tool chain. Lucas is also a professor in the department of computer science at the Évry Paris-Saclay University, teaching HPC parallel software APIs (Posix Thread, OpenMP, MPI, GPU) and system software development.
Phobos is an open-source scale-out distributed object store providing access to multiple backends from flash and hard drives to tape libraries. Large datasets can be efficiently managed on inexpensive storage media without giving up performance, scalability or fault-tolerance. Designed to offer several data layouts, such as mirroring or erasure coding. IOs through tape drives are optimized by dedicated resource scheduling policies. Used at the Genomique multi-petabyte dataset at TGCC and at CCMD, behind the Lustre parallel file system.
