\section{DDN-IME}

The IOR stonewalling option (-d 60) was used together with the wear out option (-o StonewallingWearOut=1).
In this way we make sure, that each node writes the same amount of data, even if the stonewalling deadline is achieved.

For read access a 12TB test file was pre-created and used for all experiments.
Since IME has the ability to migrate data from back-end file system to IMEs and vice versa, we made sure that this file was always locate on IMEs.
For write access we used a separate test file, which was always deleted after each test run.

During the parameter exploration 540 experimentes were conducted.
The explored parameters are showed in \Cref{tab:params:ime}.
The resulting peformance is showed in \Cref{fig:perf:linear:ime}.

A GPFS 4.2.3.0 file system was used as back-end for IMEs.
The pagepool was 6GB large.
