DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Matthew Curry (Sandia National Laboratories)\nWhen d
 esigning large scale storage systems\, failure is always a serious concern
  that demands constant attention. However\, the ability for system designe
 rs to objectively evaluate their risk of data loss for a given storage sys
 tem is minimal. Instead\, they must enumerate possible failure modes\, est
 imate their relative probability\, identify possible mitigations\, and dec
 ide whether the expense is worthwhile. This process relies on folk wisdom\
 , rules of thumb\, and anecdotal experience. For systems that grow larger 
 and more complex year-by-year\, this methodology is too imprecise to guara
 ntee safety while ensuring efficiency.\n\nThis talk will detail some of th
 e progress in the SIMS^2 project\, a collaboration between Sandia National
  Laboratories\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and Los Alamos National 
 Laboratory charged with increasing the science and rigor behind evaluating
  system designs. It will cover some of the pitfalls of current methods of 
 evaluating systems\, methods for determining complex behavior of aggregate
 d components\, evaluation of different types of failure modes\, and some i
 nteresting inflection points for different system designs.\n\nhttps://even
