Description
The CernVM File System (CVMFS) provides the software distribution backbone for High Energy and Nuclear Physics experiments and many other scientific communities in the form of a globally available, shared, read-only filesystem. However recently, CVMFS has found major adoption beyond academia: in particular Jump Trading, an algorithmic and high-frequency trading firm, now uses CVMFS for software and data distribution at scales that surpass any prior usage, pushing the software to its limits. In this talk, we present the latest enhancements that enable this use-case, thanks to the support and contributions of Jump Trading and the close collaboration of their engineers with the CVMFS development team. Concretely, we report on the operational improvements that allow Jump Trading to deploy the latest CVMFS release for their highly parallelized workloads, and current plans for further performance gains.
