Distributed Storage Notebooks — Tutorials and Benchmarks ( public )

FABRIC Staff

A collection of Jupyter notebooks for using distributed shared storage on the FABRIC testbed.

Tutorials

  • cephfs_storage_basic.ipynb — Quick start: enable shared storage with storage=True at the slice level or per node, verify mounts, read/write files
  • cephfs_storage.ipynb — Advanced demos: multi-site data sharing (write at STAR, read at UTAH), persistent storage across slice lifecycles, and producer/consumer data pipelines

Benchmarking

  • cephfs_benchmarking.ipynb — Measure shared storage write throughput across FABRIC sites using Python, rsync, dd, and pv; includes shared vs local disk comparison and visualization

Prerequisites

  • Your project must have storage allocated. To request storage, go to Portal → Experiments → Projects → <Your Project> → Request Storage.
  • Complete the FABRIC environment configuration before running these notebooks.
