Gfarm file system is an Open Source distributed file system, generally used for large scale cluster computing. The name is derived from the Grid Data Farm architecture it implements.
Grid Datafarm is a Petascale data-intensive computing project initiated in Japan. The project is a collaboration among High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the University of Tokyo, and Tokyo Institute of Technology. The challenge involves construction of a Peta- to Exascale parallel filesystem exploiting local storages of PCs spread over the world-wide Grid.
