Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
To meet enterprise and grand challenge-scale performance and interoperability requirements, a group of engineers—initially ad-hoc but now integrated into the IETF—is designing...
The problem of statically assigning nonpartitioned files in a parallel I/O system has been extensively investigated. A basic workload characteristic assumption of existing solutio...
We present a method for the efficient access to parts of remote files. The efficiency is achieved by using a file format independent compact pattern description, that allows to re...
Many applications of parallel I/O perform non-contiguous file accesses: instead of accessing a single (large) block of data in a file, a number of (smaller) blocks of data scatt...
